Citizen CZ Smart Grey Plated Silicone Strap Stainless Steel Smartwatch Touchscreen, Heartrate, GPS, Speaker, Bluetooth, Notifications, iPhone and Android Compatible, Powered by Google Wear OS

I’m a big citizen fan, I didn’t know how I was gonna feel about this watch. The battery life is a concern but when you get the right setting it can last all day or for a few days.. it dose and has everything I wanted and like.. so to me it’s worth it. Just get familiar with what this watch has to offer and it might shock you…

I wrote a review shortly after purchase saying I was "somewhat disappointed." I cannot figure out how to add to that review, so starting again here. I have had the watch now for 6 months now. I have taken it on 3 extended trips. I generally don't wear it daily, but probably for a short time each day while at home. I tried to like it and give it a chance. But I give up. I am mostly disappointed that I spent $300 on this essentially unusable item. Most importantly, the charge won't even last for ONE full day. And I basically mostly only use it to tell time with. That is a non-starter with a watch, especially for travel. Second, it is wonky. It seems like at least once a week, I lose the current watch face. Suddenly, today, I cannot even get it to display ANY watch face. Isn't seeing what time it is kind of the definition of a watch? As I noted previously, the gold version is very nice looking (I get compliments on it all the time). But it might as well be a toy watch, as it is basically not functional. There is also a COMPLETE lack of documentation, even on line. A company with the reputation of Citizen should really be ashamed to have rolled this out. Citizen: ABYSMAL FAILURE!

I ordered the watch, and it shipped before I looked deeper into the reviews. I’m a fan of Citizen so I wasn’t concerned about quality at first. After reading the reviews I panicked a little. But I let it ride because I know most of what I read had more to do with user knowledge vs actual product issues.I’m not uploading any photos, because the product is represented well with what is already shown. It’s a great looking watch, that does what it says.But let’s tackle the elephant in the room.. the battery life. I wore the watch for 12 hours straight, when I took it off it was at 53% remaining. All these reviews stating the battery is garbage aren’t true. It’s a watch, not a cell phone. So if your trying to use it like a cell phone it’s going to have a 4 hour battery life. Personally I use it for notifications, and health data tracking, and well.. a watch. I have mine set to Bluetooth only (no WiFi) so it uses phone data to send and receive, and stays connected for health data. I have screen set to “tilt to wake” and have the screen set to timeout after 5 seconds. I also don’t use it as a phone, because I have my phone with me always. I could easily get two days of use out of it. The more you try to push it, the less the life you’ll get. But you have a cell phone, use that to surf and communicate. Not understanding why people want to do that with a watch. LolThe setup was easy enough, but I’m a tech nerd. The average person may have issues. But look and you will find it somewhere in the little “how to charge” booklet that comes with it, that the full instructions are found on the citizen website (saving trees). With that I set it up and had no issues.It comes with health tracking apps, and a few others.. but expect to hit Google store if you want to download others. (It is really a Google watch with the citizen stamp on it.. so be ready for that also)I don’t think it’s overpriced for the watch. It looks clean, the simulated analogue faces are awesome. It’s not a far throw from apples watch (the app for my iphone to interact with it is very similar to the Apple Watch app). If you like citizen and want to pay a little less for a smart watch, this isn’t a bad buy. I’ll let you know if it breaks in 2 weeks like others have said lol (but I imagine that’s more user error than watch issues)Hope this helpsUpdate: month after purchase.Watch still working well. I did notice that the USB cable provided does not work with all charging cubes, so maybe that’s why people think it stopped charging. It doesn’t come with one, so if you have issues with it not charging try a different charging block (apple one works well). I’m still getting 12 hours with 53% remaining.

So full discretion, this is my first smartwatch. But being that this could be someone else's first smartwatch, I feel all the negative reviews don't really give this watch a fair review. As far as why I bought it, it had a pretty nice black Friday sale. Also i was waiting to get a smartwatch that was a well reviewed Google compatible watch as I'm deep in the Google ecosystem. So i would be reviewing it from that angle like a Apple watch customer review would most likely be by an iPhone user.I've had the watch for little under 3 months and here's what I think. First off, if you're not part of the Google ecosystem (Pixel phones, Nest Devices, etc.) then i don't think you'd like this watch. If you do however, I think it is worth considering. It adapts to your Google devices seamlessly, letting you do most the things your Google assistant can do on your other devices. I will say it takes some getting used to and playing around with but not the biggest learning curve so you can really just jump into it.It also has the other obvious smartwatch utilities (HR monitor, step tracker, notification control, call, text, etc.) In that aspect, I don't really see anything that would make it stand out from any other smartwatch but at least it's there. You're not sacrificing regular smartwatch features for the Google Wear OS. As far as the use so far, I think it could have been made or designed a bit better. The HR monitor is not the best. Unless I'm cutting off the circulation in my wrist, the monitor will struggle to read your HR. Also, it says it's water resistant enough to still work through your workout. I workout in my gym at home, so it's not dirty because people don't wipe machines and I'm not getting covered in dirt. But I noticed after working up a sweat, the main button on the watch has started to get stuck. And i don't work in a dirty environment either for the watch to get gunk in the button cell. So that's a worry down the line, especially since I've had it barely 3 months. Battery life is great. I use it all day for about 16hrs and i only need to charge it once between those 16hrs. Sometimes picking up calls on the watch isn't the best, it's a struggle to hear someone talking unless you're in a quiet room but honestly it is a smartwatch so that's really a nitpick (but I've never had any other smartwatch es so idk if others have better call features). It also does have more features that i can't talk about as I haven't really used them.All in all, i say if you're in the Google ecosystem in any way, than give it a shot because it'll definitely adapt seamlessly into your day to day. Otherwise I'd say keep looking for other watches.Hope this helps someone.

Si buscas un relog de buen estilo, porte y que cumpla con lo necesario de un smart no le busques más, el unico pro es la duración de la batería

Watch works perfectly,has many features for the price that other smartwatches dont have,but the battery died

I have used smart watches all my life. Wanted something with the looks of a classic watch but with digital connectivity and smart features. Really liked this watch. Comes with all the features a smart watch should have. Only thing that I didn’t like was the battery life. Would hardly go for a whole day. Other than that, a great watch overall.

普段、スマホをマナーモードで使用しているため、仕事の着信を逃さないように、また、アップルウォッチのような形状は好きではないのでシチズンブランドなら安心だろうと購入。LINEなどの通知をONにすると半日ももたないため、電話の着信通知のみで使用。スマートウォッチの役目を果たさないひどさ。良いところは見た目が気に入っているのと、使いやすいベルトのみ。

This watch ran for 1 day. The battery lasted about 6 hours. Today it just shut off. I tried recharging it and it does not turn on. I collect watches and sorry to say this one will not be in my collection. It is a beautiful watch and well made , but does not work so it is no use,
