Eco-Drive charging in artificial light

[solwisesteve]

I have a spare Citizen Eco-Drive on top of my PC at work... it's my 'forgot to put on a watch today' watch. Just checked it and it's 100% stone flat. Would I be correct in assuming then that Citizen watches WON'T charge from artificial light? It's just sat there, where it is in the office, it doesn't see much natural light.

I understand that they will charge from any light source but that sunlight is best, and sunlight outdoors is the most effective. Pop it on a windowsill for a day or two and hopefully it will return to life. If not, you may need to swap the internal rechargeable battery.

When charging I found with my eco drives it also helps to pull the crown out to reset the low power warning

Beat me to it, but that's exactly what I do, but after it's been on charge rather than when it's charging.

That's a handy bit of info.
