The watch is great, but app needs work specially with google fit going away next year, so much of NASA and Ai in the watch and not taking advantage of it’s maximum potential.
Citizen watches are a very good brand to buy. This particular watch is fantastic.
Very nice watch. Stylish, got compliments on it. Battery is excellent, after 2 weeks I was still at 40 percent in the winter. However, it will not synch with several fitness apps and send my heatrate data to those apps. Apple watch is the only reliable brand to do that. Also does not synch from the app in the morning sometimes unless I turn bluetooth on my phone off and on.
Overall this product is ok if you are a light tech user and like the design. The watch design is good and it can pass off well in professional settings. The battery life is definitely a great strength as it has lasted me for about 2 weeks without charging. However, there are a few issues: Weather widget: The weather widget only works in certain countries. I found that it doesn't work if you are traveling to parts of Asia. I cannot testify to other locations however. Watch face: Only some watch faces are customizable. For example, that watch face you see here (the default with 3 hexagon widget areas) are not customizable which means one of the best watch faces, in my opinion, as set widget options. Responsiveness: Sometimes that watch lags and the hands can get stuck in the menu. However, this is not very common and a brief wait will resolve the issue. Connection distance: This watch has a short connection distance with your phone. I can leave my phone on my table and go 1 floor above in the same house and the watch will lose connection. This makes the phone finding feature almost useless because when you are looking for your phone, chances are the watch has already lost connections with it. CZ Smart YouQ App: Citizen puts quite amount of work on promoting this app. In concept, this app offers a lot of great health monitoring options beyond the CZ Connect App. However, in execution, this app does not work well with the hybrid watch. To set up the watch you need to use the CZ Connect App. This is easy enough as this app gets the watch into paring mode. However, you also need the paring mode for the YouQ app. But the YouQ app doesn't push the watch into paring mode if you are already connected with CZ Connect. If you did manage to connect the watch to YouQ, it then asks you to install Android Fit on your watch to access health tracking. This is not possible on the hybrid watch. Without Android Fit, YouQ cannot give you data to monitor anything. All in all, if you are willing to make compromises on the things I listed above for the clean look and battery life, I say go for this watch. If not, I suggest look elsewhere.
