Great looking watch with an amazing list of features. I only wish it was waterproof
I bought this watch for fitness tracking. Absolutely love it!! I am currently using a bright pink face which is getting a lot of compliments!
I bought this watch almost 2 months ago and I was so excited to finally have another citizen watch. Well let me just say that I am completely disappointed with this watch. It lags a lot and sometimes I can't even get the screen to unlock. I've been having to wear another watch, since I'm unable to depend on this one. I have to restart this watch Almost everyday. Very disappointed.
I received this as a gift and love this watch! It has so many features, especially when working out and is easy to use. The white silicone band is perfect for summer and easy to clean. I’m not sure what the reviews are stating that the battery doesn’t last. Mine lasts all day.
Love the watch. The best. Better than my iwatch. Beautiful Features
This watch is great, I love the size, I can change straps very easily with other Citizen 22 mm styles, the YouQ app is interesting , I love how it tracks my activity habits, also The Alert check is quite fun. Design is great, I love the bracelet style!
My wife was looking for a dressier smart watch and something she could use with many of the fitness features but was more like jewelry. This watch performs really close with the options and features of her galaxy watch so learning the features and the set up was not difficult or time consuming. The watch is of the expected quality as the Citizen brand, only complaints would be the battery life between charges was greater, about 1 day before recharge Otherwise great product.
Battery lasts all day but needs to charge overnight. Full functionality with my Pixel. Would be nice to have more options for the watch face.
I'm surprised by the mixed reviews. My experience has been great so far. Set up was straightforward, I was able to connect to my phone after the second try. The watch does what I need it to do, I can view my text notifications quickly without picking up my phone, I can track my steps and overall activity, and download music for my morning run so I can leave my phone behind. The water resistance thing didn't make sense to me so I took a chance and showered with the watch on and it has been totally fine. I probably wouldn't take it snorkeling or diving though. I downloaded the YouQ app but personally it's more "stuff" than I need and I'm enjoying the CZ Smart without it. The battery life could be better. I do mini charges while I'm working at my desk and when I shower, similar to what I did with my apple watch, and that helps keep it charged overnight. I like the Citizen dial faces but wish there were more options. But overall a solid smartwatch for a reasonable price.
I wanted to give this a 5 star as I have several Citizen watches that I love. However, the one thing holding this watch back from 5 stars is the cheaper band used for this watch compared to the more premium bands I have on my other Citizen watches. One thing I love about my Citizen watches is the weight the band adds. And this band feels like a cheap 20$ band off amazon.
Citizen Response
The watch battery does not last very long. Would not connect or reconnect to an IPhone 15 several times without reseting the watch.
The look and feel of the watch are good. Very light weight. I bearly feel that I have it on which is good if you wear it 10 plus hours a day. However, the technical features could be vastly improved. Several immediate updates took it up to wear OS 3.5 which is nice but how long until 4.0 comes along. The stock exercise app counted my steps fairly accurate but never synced with Google Fit even though I downloaded and was running the Citizen Connected app. Plus other little sync annoyances that keep this watch from being a 5 star general.
Currently not impressed. Battery life is too short, even with zero to minimal apps running. Watch gets hot while charging and playing with all the screens and settings. Too picky on wrist placement for all the sensors to work and get readings. Right now my fitbit of a few years is more impressive. I wanted to give this watch a try because I love my other four Citizen regular watches.
