Function Description

The Citizen 8989 is a multi-function watch featuring both analog and digital indications. It includes capabilities for displaying time, date, alarm, and dual time. The watch is designed for ease of use with multiple buttons controlling different functions and settings.

Important Technical Specifications

While specific technical specifications like water resistance or battery life are not detailed in this abbreviated instruction, the manual highlights several functional specifications:

Calendar: The watch's calendar is designed to automatically adjust until December 31, 2099, including leap years, meaning manual date adjustments are rarely needed. The year and month are displayed only during calendar setting.
Time Display: The watch supports both 12-hour and 24-hour time formats for its digital indication. The analog indications can be set independently.
Dual Time: The dual time function allows users to track time in another location, adjustable in 10-minute increments.
Alarm: The watch includes an alarm function, with the alarm time's hour being an adjustable setting.
Light: A built-in light function illuminates the display for visibility in low-light conditions.
Indications: The watch features two analog indications (Analog indication 1 and Analog indication 2) and a digital indication. The digital display shows seconds, minutes, hours, and can also display alarm, dual time, and calendar information. Mode indication helps identify the current function.
Temperature Sensor: The watch is equipped with a temperature sensor, though its specific display or function is not detailed in this excerpt.

Usage Features

The watch's operation is primarily controlled through four buttons: M (upper left), B (upper right), C (lower left), and A (lower right).

Mode Navigation: Pressing and releasing button M repeatedly cycles through different modes, such as [TIME], [DATE], [DU. T] (dual time), and [CHR] (chronograph, though not detailed in this excerpt).

Using the Light: Pressing button C turns the light on.

Maintenance Features

All Reset: To perform an "All Reset," press and release buttons A, B, C, and M simultaneously. This action will execute an alarm sound and reset all settings. After an All Reset, the time, calendar, and other settings must be reconfigured.
