My watch stop running
Your Citizen Calibre 8700 BL8000-03A watch has likely stopped running because the secondary battery is insufficiently charged. If the solar cell has not been exposed to light for at least 30 minutes, the watch may stop generating power. Even when light is applied, it may take a minimum of 30 minutes before the watch begins running again. To resolve this, charge the watch by exposing the solar cell to sufficient light and reset the time once it starts running.
