I got home today all excited to try out my new Citizen Eco-Drive Perpetual Calendar Model BL5315-50E and it was DOA. I'm hoping the Solar Cell just needs to be charged up, but I have had itunder aritificial lights for one hour and nothing. The Seconds hand is facing the Stop position which according to the manual means that it needs to be charged for at least 1/2 hour. It has now been under the lights for 1 hour and still nothing. I have never received an Eco-Drive that wasn't ticking when it arrived.
Should I be worried yet? I know that Bob has this movement. Nothing on this watch is operational at all. I can't imagine why the lighting hasn't switched it on yet. Any suggestions/comments? I guess I will keep it under the lights and if nothing happens I will send it back to WOW as a defective watch. The other concerning thing about this watch is that it came with no protective stickers, tape etc..The box also looks like it has had stickers removed off of it. I'm wondering it this was a defective return that was then shipped out to me. This is my first experience with WOW and I'm not too happy. I just checked again and nothing. Now I'm worried.
Thanks for listening,
