I got this watch for Christmas and I love the style of my “real watches” but the function of a smart watch. Style wise it’s perfect. But unlike my other smart watch it won’t stay connected to my iPhone. I made sure all the software is updated but they both are on my person and it won’t stay connected. So what’s the point of a smart watch? Please get this issue resolved Citizen.

Got this watch for Christmas. Watch has great features . But battery life is the worst I've ever seen. If you use watch to answer or talk text your battery dies very quickly. My wife has a fit bit that she came talk text and battery last a couple of days. With this smart watch you have to recharge before the end of the day. So if you looking for a smart watch with a good battery life this is not the watch. Really only good for a time and notice smart watch. Need to improve battery life on this smart watch. Going to see about returning my watch. Maybe next generation will have a better battery life. I'm a fan of citizens own quite a few of their watches, but first smart watch.

I was excited to have a smart watch that looked like a regular timepiece. I have several Citizen watches and have always loved them. I am disappointed. The battery life is horrible and it constantly disconnects from my iphone. It is a pain to reconnect. The interface is a bit clumsy and not intuitive at all. I also do not like that the watch face changes when in a sleep/power save mode (when it "times out"). Right now I have that set on 5 seconds to save battery and it is annoying to have the face change as you raise it and try to read the time. I am overall disappointed and hope Citizen steps up and pushes out major updates. I regret spending the money. And now I see they do not recommend swimming with it - COME ON!!!!

Great watch. Awesome features and design. Best smart watch on the market
Great watch poor battery life. I'm only getting 5 to 6 hours out of the watch with most of the features turned off. That just does not work for me.
The sleep tracker could be better, showing sleep zones and actual times!!
Love this watch. The features are awesome. I wish there was a fully customizable battery feature that could be managed on the watch or in the app(like turning off the heartbeat sensor), but I can't figure it out. It would be cool if there was an ecodrive feature since the battery lasts about 2 days. I like how if your battery "dies" you still have the clock feature until it is completely depleted. I still have to see if i can create my own watch face or if I can only use the pre-designed faces. Overall I'd still give the watch 4 out of 5 due to the sheer design and effort put in on the first gen. I see the extra features coming in the future however, for now I am satisfied.
I bought this for my husband, who has several of your standard watches. He loves them. As far as I know, he is very happy with the watch. The one thing that he has stated is that when he bends his wrist, it hits the large button on the side, turning the watch on. He wishes that he could turn that option off.
It will not connect! I have used your directions and the watch apps directions and it still does not work.
