I love it but was disappointed that I could answer Calls with the watch but could not talk with it or answer texts.
I got this watch for my husband as an anniversary gift and he LOVES it!!
Citizen Response
Within 2 hours it had connected and disconnected a dozen times. The backlight is too dim and since there are only 4 lights and they case a striped pattern it si actually harder to read with the light on. The settings are far from intuitive. I am 66 years old have have had smartwatches for 7 years and have had a hybrid (ZeTime by MyKronoz) for 4 years so I am familiar with these watches and this one is difficult to use and would not stay connected to my Samsung S10e.
Currently owning a couple of Citizen watches I had high expectations for the CZ Smart watch and I have to say I’m a little disappointed. The watch doesn’t differ from the stock photos, and it certainly does all the things it is supposed to do, but several “little things” let it down in my opinion. Perhaps it’s simply the color - I chose (black/silver), but it feels a little “plain”. The band feels a too narrow and the case design seems a little off the mark. The face, even when customized falls flat and it just feels a little cheap. Again, lots of little things knocking it down from what could be a fantastic watch to just kind of “meh” watch for this price point. Functionally the watch works great as one might expect from Citizen. I was excited for the hybrid design and despite my criticism above, I think helps add some interest to the watch. The best part is the battery life and that helps offset some of the issues I have with the face knowing there must be a compromise with the “digital bits” to get this kind of charge life. Overall, I do like the watch and given the sales price I’ve decided to keep it and explore options for a band that better suits my taste. At full MSRP I’d probably have thought harder about that decision.
