The watch is beautiful. In my opinion the best looking smartwatch today. However there are two big issues. One i Can accept which is, Google Assistant is not available. Only Alexa. Not happy with this but I can live with it. What I cannot live with is battery life. It is a half a day at the best and that is with light use. Not sure how Citizen ever would release a $375 watch with such awful battery life.

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.
Let me just start by saying that I bought this watch about 2 weeks ago and I was initially skeptical about the IBM Watson and YouQ claims. However after using the watch i'm honestly blown away with it. This thing is so sweet, my other Smartwatches are only able to record my stats: steps, sleep etc.. which is cool, but it doesn't interpret the data in a meaningful way. This IBM Watson stuff in the YouQ app is incredible, after about a week of wearing the watch it has started to build what's called a "chronotype" that predicts energy levels and alertness, so that as my day progresses, I can see what my body is likely to do and get methods to counteract the fatigue or feelings of low energy. Just too cool. On the technical side; Pairing was relatively easy and I've had no connection issues. The battery holds enough power that with my usage I only have to charge the watch while I do my morning routine, then, pop it on before I go out the door and I consistently have enough power to last until the next morning. The software on the watch is snappy and responsive, and the polyurethane strap is very confortable, soft, yet firm. I really like that they're quick-release too so I can put whatever I want on it without needing tools. Good job Citizen, colour me impressed, 5 stars - A Happy Camper
Struggling to get more than 10ths of battery life. Screen seems to change with little contact.

Need to make water resistant at a minimum. Looks great. I get 1-2 days on charge which is fine.
Hard to pair with App Had to cancel app Muli. time and reload
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.
IBM Watson is good 👍 lot of color bands to choose..wow...cheaper than Fitbit
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.
