This is copied from Citizen's website:

"All Eco-Drive models require an ‘all reset’ after charging from a complete loss of power or a low power state. This is much like rebooting a computer after a power interruption enabling the movement to recognize the fully charged energy cell. This is one of the most frequently overlooked steps, especially on “simple” analog models, and if not performed, may result in irregular operation of the watch although it is fully charged.


‘All-reset’ for ‘simple’ analog models - those with no special features other than the time and date feature (not perpetual calendar):


After fully charging the watch, gently pull the crown out to the time setting position. After thirty seconds, return the crown to the closed position next to the case After the ‘all-reset’ is complete, be sure to set the time and date (if applicable.) If your watch features a screw-down crown, be sure to securely tighten the crown against the case.


‘All reset’ for multi-feature and perpetual calendar models:


Procedures for these types of watches vary by model. Be sure to refer to the instruction manual and/or our web site at http://www.citizenwatch.com for complete information."


You might want to give it a try before doing something expensive... or rash... or both.... Good luck!
