Beautiful and Stylish and no batteries!

My son gave me this watch as a birthday gift and once I downloaded the Citizen Connected app, the My Citizen app, and the YF30 owner's manual (on my laptop so I could read it magnified), I got it figured out. The owner's manual is not real user friendly, but after being persistent, I finally figured it out. Another good feature of having a Citizen is the free band sizing...I have a real small wrist and after calling a local jewelry Citizen dealer, they said to bring it in for a free resizing. If you're looking for a smart watch that does all the stuff the Apple Smartwatch does, this watch is not for you, but it's beautiful and very stylish. I like the traditional look, and you can change watch faces to a variety of traditional, sports, workout, and non-traditional styles. It does do heart rate, step count, connects with Alexa and several other nice features.

Slow, disconnects constantly

Watch disconnects constantly. Won't reconnect on its own, you have to go into your phone and use the stupid app. Dial isn't as customizable as you'd think. Low res screen is okay. Backlight is cheap and doesn't stay on long enough, doesn't like to activate (should have a button). Buttons feel cheap like they would break. Operating system lags. Luminous hands are pretty much invisible at night. Battery life is good, lasts over a week no problem. Crystal protrudes past the case, makes it vulnerable to scratches. Band is nice but needed a hammer to loosen pins for adjusting. Overall, if you want a smart watch buy a real smart watch. If you want a watch there are better looking, waterproof, luminous, longer battery life options.

Review

The battery provides long hours of continues use. The watch Is not for everybody. a little bit complicated on set up. Nice looking watch.

NICE WATCH DESIGN, LIMITED FACE DESIGN!

Even though it is a very nice Citizen classic design, the options to customize the watch are limited. For instance, the second time zone, displays (-3Hs UTC) for a minute instead of the actual time for that city. So you have to wait or do the math yourself. Also, not possible to have another time zone. And limited to 4 “complications” at main watch face.
