----- SUMMARY ----- Verdict: The Citizen CZ Smart has a classy look with a sharp display and fast performance. It’s also high quality and comfortable to wear. The one problem is that the smartwatch market is crowded, and much of the competition has the same features and performance as the CZ Smart. I think the primary differentiating factor that the CZ Smart has is its design, which does have a lot going for it. There’s no doubt that the Citizen CZ Smart is a very good smartwatch, so if you are a fan of the design, it should be at the top of your list. Otherwise, there are others to consider, especially if you’re looking for more fitness features like automatic workout detection and the ability to take an ECG. Pros: - Quick and simple setup - Classy and elegant design - High quality - Sharp display - Easy navigation with the three buttons (one being a rotating crown) - Accurate workout tracking and heart rate results - Fast performance - Built-in speaker and mic produce good call quality - Battery lasts all day and charges quickly Cons: - No automatic workout detection - Cannot take an ECG ----- DETAILS ----- Setup: The setup process for the CZ Smart was quick and simple. The only requirements are attaching the magnetic charging cable to the watch and the other end to a USB charger, then walking through the on-screen instructions to pair it with your phone. The watch is compatible with iPhone or Android devices using the Wear OS app (free to download from the app store). I have an iPhone and it paired on the first try. I always appreciate an easy setup process without any issues, and Citizen delivered. Design: With its classy and elegant design, the CZ Smart looks much like other Citizen analog watches. Unsurprisingly, since the CZ Smart comes from a top analog watchmaker, the aesthetic doesn’t disappoint. When I was unboxing the CZ Smart, I quickly noticed that it looks and feels high quality. The case (46 mm) is stainless steel, and Gorilla Glass covers the screen. The included silicone strap (22 mm) feels durable and comfortable, even after all-day use. The strap is easily interchangeable, and additional straps can be purchased from Citizen. I’m excited to eventually try the other straps out. The 46 mm size of the watch is perfect for me, but it is on the larger side, so if you have smaller/thinner wrists, this watch might not be ideal for you. The larger size doesn’t seem to impact the thickness of the watch though because it’s impressively thin. Additional design aspects include a built-in speaker and microphone, which enable you to take phone calls, use Google Assistant, and more. Call quality, voice to text, and Google Assistant were all great. Overall, I am a fan of the CZ Smart watch’s design and wearing it has been very comfortable. Features & Performance: The CZ Smart has a 1.28” AMOLED touchscreen with a 416 x 416-pixel resolution and an always-on display. Whether it’s day or night, the screen is sharp and easily readable. On the right side, there are three buttons. The top and bottom buttons are defaulted to activate Google fit and the Citizen Watch Face app, but they’re customizable to your preference. The middle button, which also has a rotating crown, operates as the home and back button. Rotating the crown navigates through the interface, which is a nice feature. I am happy with the three-button and rotating crown combo because it makes controlling the watch easy. Some of the features I use daily include receiving notifications, using apps like calendar and weather, and also tracking workouts. The watch is quick and responsive, so the performance meets my expectations. Tracking workouts has been a good experience, and the results are comparable to another smartwatch I own. I wish there was automatic workout detection though. The heart rate sensor also seems to be consistent, but you cannot take an ECG like some other similarly priced smartwatches. If you’re looking for a fitness-focused smartwatch with the most sensors and features, then I wouldn’t recommend the CZ Smart, but otherwise, I’ve been impressed. Battery Life: Depending on what battery mode you choose, the battery life of the CZ Smart is generally about one to three days. An exception to this is the Time Only Mode, which just turns the smartwatch into a simple clock that lasts about a week. The other battery modes are Daily, Extended, and Custom. Since I charge the CZ Smart nightly, I usually have it on the Daily Mode which allows you to use all the features. Even with frequent use, the battery on Daily Mode consistently lasts the whole day. Extended Mode only uses essential features and usually extends the battery another day. Charging the watch is impressively quick. Just 45 minutes will charge the battery to 80%. A little over an hour will get it to 100%. The battery life is more than enough for my needs, and it’s nice to have fast charging. ----- WHAT’S IN THE BOX ----- 1 x Smartwatch Head/Case (46 mm) 1 x Silicone Strap (22 mm) 1 x USB Charging Cable 1 x Documentation

I'm not really a watch type person but this one has changed all of that. This watch isn't just stylish its my life line now . It is so easy to fiqure out how to set up everything.

I won't have to worry about storage space for awhile . The touch sensitivity is awesome and isn't to touchy . The knows are easy to turn.

I won't have to worry about storage space for awhile . The touch sensitivity is awesome and isn't to touchy . The knows are easy to turn. When I get a message I can hear the notification sound loud and clear and I don't miss any calls like I would with my phone. I absolutely love this watch.
For the Citizen CZ Smart WearOS, out of the box, you need to install the watch bands yourself. That’s something I didn’t expect, but it’s easy to do. The watch face is large, but a normal size for a watch. The thickness is also pretty normal compared to a regular non-smart watch. I think the crown, and watch case look nice. It looks like a normal watch and doesn’t stick out, which I like. After turning the watch on, there is a setup process, like installing the app on your phone, signing in to your account, accepting terms of service, and allowing multiple permissions to let it collect your data and use info from your phone. It’s quite a lot of taps, swipes, and screens to go through. I think the process could be streamlined, but thankfully, you only need to do it once when setting up the watch. The most useful parts I find are the fitness related features. By default it shows your number of steps taken, steps progress for the day, and last measured heart rate. Though, the steps count doesn’t always seem accurate. It also can track your sleep. You can start a workout and it will tell you various health related measurements and stats that happened during the workout. Another small thing I like is that it can switch between showing an extra time zone easily. It’s useful when traveling. Overall, if you’re looking for a WearOS watch that looks like a classic wristwatch instead of high-tech gizmo, I think the CZ Smart WearOS is a good choice.

It has a very bad connection with my iphone, it disconnects easily and you have to reset it to connect again, the option to answer calls does not always work, the battery does not last the 24 hours that they announce in the description. the price is very high for the simplicity of the watch, 20 years ago I use Citizen I never thought that I would be so disappointed with this watch
This watch goes above and beyond all my expectations of any watch I currently own or have owned in the past. Great job making this device incredibly user friendly and it looks super classy with any attire.. I would give it 6 stars if I could.
Looks great on my wrist and sporty enough for workouts.
I got this Citizen - CZ Smart MX0000-07X and I absolutely love it. It was so easy to set up and use. I have a watch but also access to my phone all on my wrist. It looks stylish and goes with any outfit. I highly recommend this watch!
Great watch by CZ Smart. I love this watch because it as great design even thou it is smart watch but does not look like smart watch, it is easy to navigate though this watch and the material of wrist band is solid, I am a fan of this watch and I can see myself buying this for my friend and family as a gift.
I'm not really a watch type person but this one has changed all of that. This watch isn't just stylish its my life line now . It is so easy to fiqure out how to set up everything. I would not like having to pull out my phone to know the weather or to get a message or a call . The speaker works so great . Calls incoming and outgoing are nice and clear. Music plays so well on it also . The bass in the songs sounds nice also and not distorted. Adding tiles to the watch is super easy and I can customize it just the way I want. I can also change the style of the homescreen and color . It came in a nice stylish box and was packaged nicely with a thick type foam to protect the faceplate of the watch and the band. Attaching the watch band was easy and took about two minutes or less. It isn't a heavy watch but it's built very well . Having the 8gb of memory is a nice feature. I won't have to worry about storage space for awhile . The touch sensitivity is awesome and isn't to touchy . The knows are easy to turn. When I get a message I can hear the notification sound loud and clear and I don't miss any calls like I would with my phone. I absolutely love this watch.
So far the CZ Citizen smart watch is amazing. It has GPS and NFC, which are very important features to me. With wear os you have many incredible functions that make this smartwatch very complete, as well as elegant and built with good quality materials. I would recommend it.
I like to have a watch that looks good when I go out on the town. It also has many neat features like email, heart beat, steps taken,weather reports and much much more! It takes about 3 hours for my watch to full charge with the magnetic supplied charger. I can do so many things with this watch it like having a laptop on my wrist and a good looking one too. I get many compliments and it feels good on my wrist with the waterproof watch and band. I just love it!
I have three Citizen watches but the CZ Smart is the best one of all the watches that I have collected so far. The CZ Smart is a master piece.
It's hard to imagine a company that's over 100 years can continue to reinvent itself, but after owning a CZ Smart Watch for a little over a week. I have to say Citizen out did themselves with the version of a smart watch. I own several Citizen watches including the Proximity Prizm and this watch lives up to all the smart watch hype while staying true to the Citizen Watches quality and styles we grown to expect.
Had the privilege of working on the launch campaign for this collection, so I had a very detailed look at the line. Citizen set out to design a smart watch, that felt like more than a piece of technology on you wrist, they wanted it to be a style and fashion statement – and they've done just that. The finishes and manufacturing quality are superior to any other smart watch I've come across. Since the Google Wear OS has been integrated, it has all the tech features you could want, but it adds a level of craftsmanship that the smart watch segment has not seen.
