Great style, short battery life

I selected this watch for my lifetime commitment to the style of Citizen watches. I was 100% ok with the looks and the feel, 5 stars to Citizen. Unfortunately the battery lasts 10-12 haha a at most, this won’t work for me.

Just ok

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.

Connection and battery issues

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!!!!

Beautiful watch, but major connection issues

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.

Citizen Response Thank you for your feedback. We’re happy to hear that you think the style of CZ Smart is perfect! It was designed to fit your lifestyle and has many advanced smartwatch functions for you to enjoy. Regarding connectivity, one reason for CZ Smart disconnecting from your iPhone is related to the two devices being far apart, but there could be other reasons as well. We would like to help resolve this with troubleshooting and will reach out to directly through email to learn more and provide more information.
