Reviews
Stylish and Smart!
I love Citizen watches and I’m happy to be able to use this one. It’s very stylish yet versatile. It doesn’t look like a smart watch yet it is. And that’s what I love about it. This hybrid design gives me the traditional look and feel with some tech built in. The setup is not difficult and the features are great. I would recommend to anyone.
Device is excellent, phone app needs some further testing and improvement.
I was provided this watch in exchange for an honest review by Influenster and Citizen. So I feel we need to split this into two parts, the watch itself and the supporting software. Let's talk about the watch first! This watch is like nothing I have ever seen before. I am a big fan of mechanical watches, but I also like the convenience of being able to see my notifications on my wrist. This watch seems to be the perfect combination. The first time you see the hands move out of the way to show your notifications is a trip. Behind the hands is an e-ink screen that has customizable faces. Using the e-ink technology instead of a traditional LCD screen allows the battery life to go way farther between charges. Almost long enough that you lose the charger, wich is super impressive. Let's talk about the applications. These are the only parts i have issue with. There are two applications, Citizen Connection and CZ YouQ. I feel like one of these was an afterthought based on how they are deployed. The connection application has a number of very cool features that feel like you need the secret handshake to get to. It really has a robust watch face creator that is not very well explained or documented. The YouQ application felt incomplete. The connection to my watch had several issues and would not consistently record data, to the point where I was having to reconnect it manually to get it to record my sleep and pulse. The alert test is really cool though, I am a big fan of that. Using a reflex test to check your alertness, you can see how ready you are to face the day or night. Apparently this test is based on the one used by the astronauts on the space station. IN CONCLUSION: This is a great watch with a lot of very useful features. My only gripe is with the UI/UX of the applications that it connects to. For the price point it is comparable to other smartwatches, but the Apple Watch and the Pixel Watch won't get anywhere near as many looks as this.
Sleek and Sharp Hybrid Watch!
I received this Citizen CZ Smart Gen2 Hybrid Sport watch a few days ago and I absolutely adore this piece. It has a face that reminds you of an older watch but with the hybrid smartwatch face in the center. It perfectly syncs up with my Android phone and the notifications are spot on. The leather band is a nice touch as well!
Citizens hybrid watch
It’s my first time to use hybrid watch. I’m very impressed. Very nice watch
My Hybrid
I like this Hybrid watch for most of its features. Some features that I do have an issue with is that due to my age and fading vision, the lettering can be very difficult to read. I do wish that this watch would measure blood pressure.
Good Watch, Bad Installation.
The watch looks very beautiful. It's a combination between citizen sport classic, and the new technology of smartwatches. However, it's giving me troubles connecting, it keeps saying "network error"! What is the reason? I need assistance and tech support. Also, the manual provided is very poor. All what it tells you is to refer to the app. It does not say anything about the functions of the watch, how it operates, or what does the buttons/keys to the side do?
Nice watch
Very nice watch it was a little big for my small hand
Great incognito smart watch
This watch is 80% style and 20% tech. Perfect for when you want to keep a sense of class but still stay connected to the most important parts of your phone. It includes a heart rate monitor, Alexa functionality, and a variety of other features and watch faces. The screen blends nicely with the watch features, almost un-noticeable to anyone not looking for it. The strap is genuine leather and very comfortable.
Elevated Fitbit
Overall: This fits a niche but won’t be replacing my Apple Watch. However, if I didn’t already have an Apple Watch, this might be my choice. Looks: Miles better looking that Apple Watch, but not quite to the level of my favorite (original Withing Activite Saphire). This was a little too bulky for my taste in analog watches. Battery: Again miles better than Apple Watch. Think days/week. Love that it’s rechargeable, so that makes it the top in this area for me. Functionality: This is where it comes up short to the Apple Watch. The citizen doesn’t have as many integrations with third party apps, which I’ve become so ingrained into. In addition, the UI is a little clunky vs a touchscreen. It feels like using a Fitbit that looks and functions much better.
Customer service
I ordered the hybrid watch. I was thinking, I finally found a smart watch with style. I received it, and after three days it had quit working. No big deal these things happen. I reached out to customer service and we made arrangements for an exchange. I sent the watch back, yet never received a new one. I called they said they credited me back, so again made arrangements for an exchange. In the end, the watch cost me more, and I didn't receive the same deal as my original order. My original order came with an additional watch band. The watch is more stylish than it is functioning.
