This is a nice and classic looking watch. It feels nice on the wrist. Battery life is really good. I charged it about 2 days ago and I'm still at 83% charge. I like the sleep tracking on it and the simplified menu. My main issues is that you can't add apps, and there's no way to reply to a text message. Also the citizen connected app is very simple and not very user friendly. I don't know about the citizen youq app. It force closes during setup and won't open again. Redownloading it does the same thing. I contacted their support and haven't heard anything back from them.
The design is very elegant and looks like a traditional watch. The watch is a smart watch that measures steps, bpm, oxygen levels. You get notifications from your phone, can control music. It also comes with Alexa integrated. The Citizen app is very easy to use.
This watch is sharp looking and I was excited to get it. In order to get this watches full functionality you need to download not one but two apps. The citizen app allows you to customize the watches face which is really cool with a ton and of options. When you want to see things such as how well you slept, power score, chronotype, and more you need to go to the other app. All in all, it’s cool watch with a ton of customizable options, the ability to see workouts, and help keep track of your health. Personally I feel a person needs to be tech savvy and not minding being on their phone for the different options. If everything was in one app I would like and feel more people would enjoy it.
I received this product for free from Influenster in exchange for my honest review. Citizen is not a technology company. Citizen is not a wellness and fitness company. The watch weighs a ton. I ended up finding a Velcro cloth band online to change out because trying to sleep with the default bands on was silly. The watch isn’t particularly water proof. You’ll be fine in the rain I guess? The watch is hard to read. The screen is like a tiny terrible Kindle screen. Good luck. The software on the watch is laggy. You need three apps to run the watch. Google Fit, and two proprietary Citizen apps. They all need setup and accounts. What a mess. Citizen is so incredibly out of their depth here.
