Product Description
Using satellites orbiting Earth over 12,000 miles high, this innovative timepiece can tell you your exact location and time, anywhere in the world, with unparalleled accuracy and speed (3 seconds flat). What’s more, the Eco-Drive caliber F150 movement only needs light to operate effectively—and with a power reserve of 7 years in the dark, it’s in for the long haul Read More
I think it's misleading to say, "can tell you your exact location and time", when on the Citizen web site it clearly explains that the GPS functionality is only for time. This watch adjusts to local time based on GPS signals, which is pretty cool, but it isn't a full GPS location reporting device. And yeah, seven years reserve time is preposterous. Who edits this stuff?

Where I'm from 24months is 2 years.
Don't get me wrong, 2 years is still incredibly long. It's just for me I did have an eco drive that I stopped wearing for a while & left in a drawer. The power eventually left it & it was a pain getting it back up. & since it seems as though the battery has taken a hit, & it won't hold charge as long anymore.
OxydelAs far as I know this table is when the watch is not in "power save" mode (no hands movement), which it enters after a few days if it does not receive light at all (some early Eco-Drives stopped the seconds hand after 30 minutes, which could be annoying if your watch was under your shirt's cuff).
This table is for example if it's placed somewhere around your house where it's not getting enough light to charge properly but at the same time too much light to enter "power save" so the hands will continue running and it will still try to sync via GPS from time to time (hence depleting the power cell).
Anyway, it's not really something that I worry about too much as my F150 is usually placed on a table where it gets ample indirect sunglight during the day and artificial light at night so it keeps topped-up when it's not on my wrist.
Bamyasi1Yeah, if the dial gets no light at all for 3 days (might be more but I think it's 3 days) it goes in power saving mode and stops all hands but continues to track time internally.
If the battery is full this low-power state can be sustained for up to 7 years and the hands return to their correct position as soon it it gets light.
The F150 has a huge battery capacity compared to power use, the more power-hungry F950 get up to 5 years in power-saving mode.
So who else did not get the color they ordered?
Drop F----D up big time. They published the wrong photos with the model numbers on the green and black dials. If you clicked on the black dial, you will get a green, and if you clicked on the green, you will receive black. Wrong photos published. The label on the box and the hang-tag show the model number and it will match your receipt. Do not let this slide, they need to step-up and fix this the right way.
Well, I think I'm going to end up keeping the black and orange one. It's not the green that I wanted but there is now no option to get that and if I return for a refund then I'll have to deal with getting a chunk of import duty and VAT back from the government. <shrug> not ideal but got to make the best of the situation...
Hello,
I got the the Green one instead of the Back Orange one. If you want to exchange with me, so I am happy to exchange. It is new, unwear.

dburnsIt means that once set, day (between 6 and 9) and date (at 3) indicators will remain accurate (until 28/02/2100 in this model's case).
And since the day and date are also synced via GPS you don't even need to set it manually the first time, everything is automatic.
This is terrible. I really wanted the black/orange version. Apparently mine is still on the way and now i do not know what to expect.. any one received the correct color they ordered?
