Just received this watch , very nice build quality. Battery life is absolutely terrible!!!! I’m considering returning it ! I hope that Citizen comes up with a fix , all my other Citizen watches are awsome !
I waited patiently for this watch to be released. I can understand the delay. The battery life is poor as other reviews have mentioned. The bluetooth on my watch will not stay connected. Cannot pair with phone. The app is not on par with Garmin or other smart devices. I am hoping for updates and upgrades. Now, I just need the watch to pair.
Instant buyer's remorse. The step display doesn't update correctly for certain faces, which is disappointing. Battery life is appallingly bad. After charging to 100%, it is under 50% four hours later. There's no way it goes 24 hours with even close to full functionality. The online help is useless. I have always loved Citizen watches. I am shocked they put their good name on such a flawed product.
Citizen Response
I've had it for a month. I like : + The idea of YouQ software with IBM and NASA. That's the only reason I bought this watch compared to all the smartwatches out there. It could be better: - "Google Fit", "Wear OS Google", "CZ Smart YouQ" and "Citizen Connected" MUST work together / MUST be synchronised at the same time. Or better yet, one app that does it all... - The "1-3 days battery life", the reality is less than 24 hours. A solar watch could be nice! - The "Power Fix" are great recommendations. Why not add recommendations for the heart, for blood pressure and better sleep. - Alexa is a nice touch. But a Google Assistant could be interesting. - If I worked with NAZA and IBM, I would make sure that the end result was 100%, BEFORE selling this watch that has so much potential.
Nice quality watch but the battery requires constant charging, even with location tracking and Wi-Fi turned off. Couldn’t complete an outdoor activity without the watch completely shutting off.
This is my second citizen smart watch and I have several eco drive watches. This watch just based on battery life is a huge fail, full charge does not last a day and has to be charged as soon as I get home from work. I will be contacting custo.er service today to return the watch.
I’m very disappointed for a citizen watch you would have thought it would be outstanding. Can’t turn on any of the features or the battery will go dead. It’s awe full I am so disappointed. I have tons of smart watches and this one looks the best but is the worst.
Nice watch, but would not connect to my new iPhone. Returned it to Citizen.
One month after warranty expired, it stopped working all together. Not happy!
I bought this watch more than a week ago, and there are several problems. I cannot download the Citizen Connected App, as per the instructions. I then downloaded the Wear OS App and even with this, this product (I cannot call this a smartwatch anymore) cannot sync with my mobile (Samsung Galaxy Flip 3 5G).
