I bought this after looking at it for awhile, and loved the hybrid style. Unfortunately you get the worst of both world. Citizen has moved to their own OS which to say the least is buggy with a very limited feature set. Phone and watch would constantly disconnect, and trying to do anything in the app takes forever as you spend more time watching a circle spin than doing anything. Took over 30 minutes just to get my calendar setup on the watch due to app crashes and continually being stuck in a setup loop. Many things like Google wallet aren't supported on this watch so it's basically a glorified traditional watch with an LCD screen. Even basics like heart rate monitor seem to be way off as sitting down my heart rate would jump by over 100 bpm randomly when taking my pulse it was nowhere close to that. Their IBM powered separate app didn't even recognize my phone at first and I had to do a factory reset on the watch just to get that app to find my phone. Overall if you're buying this for looks its likely a watch for you. If you're buying this to have some smart watch features with a traditional watch style don't waste your money.
Citizen is known for the nice, sleep, well built design. This way I does your basic smart watch functions. I would call it more of a dress watch but you also get some of your typical stats. I would stick with the Apple Watch over this if you’re more into all the health benefits. The citizen does have a long battery life which is a plus. I would recommend this watch to dress up your smart watch rotation if the Apple Watch is too bulky. Influenster sent this to me to give my honest review.
After having a few different models of different smart watches for years I was excited to try something new that was stylish and not as casual looking. First love the look and feel of this watch it definitely didn’t disappoint. The only downside of this watch was trying to learn the buttons and I was not a very big fan of the app. This ended up being more of a watch I would throw on when going out for a nice night out and wanted to dress things up a bit.

I have tested this watch for at least 15 days straight of wearing it 24/7. It is a very nice looking watch. It has a little weight to it and at times can feel heavy on your arm. The band is very stiff and takes a long time to loosen up, probably due to being genuine leather. The buttons on the watch are bulky and if you wear the watch on your left hand, bending your wrist too much can cause the home button to be pushed excessively. Pairing the watch with the CZ app was simple but it has a lot of issues connect to the CZ Smart YouQ app simultaneously. The watch disconnected from my phone (iPhone) a lot. To turn on the light is finicky and sometimes requires excessive tapping of the screen before it activates. When going through the menus on the watch it begins to lag and freeze often. My final take is that it is a very nice watch and has lots of options but at the same time it has a lot of kinks that still need attention.
