I’ve had a fit bit, 2 actually, constantly went crazy, lost connection or would not turn on. I like watches, always have, I own several Citizens watches, awesome watches, these are my favorite watches to wear anywhere. Durable and accurate, I get so many compliments on my Citizens watches because of their appearance, so when I saw that there was a smart watch available that looked like a watch, not like someone strapped a small tablet to their arm, I had to add it to my collection. This watch is awesome, it looks great, it’s easy to use and set up. The app is great, just as easy to use as the watch. I could not be happier.
The citizen hybrid smart watch is a good addition to your watch collection
What I liked about the citizen hybrid smartwatch is the stylish and sturdy design and it’s very accurate and comfortable on your wrist and the battery life is excellent it’s a good value for your money and it makes a great gift and it’s a good addition to your smartwatch collection
The watch is nice & stylish but with that being said, the functionality could use a lot of work. The app needs to be open to use the watch which is unfortunate. Once it’s paired it should coexist with the watch & not have to be opened every time you want to use the watch features. Notifications don’t show up on the watch either. The instructions are difficult to use & understand. If you want higher reviews then you should produce a better app with more user friendly options & a more functional app to watch setting instead of a nonfunctional app that’s more suited for a $20 pseudo smartwatch that could be purchased from an overseas discount website. I would expect more from Citizen.
This is a cool simple user friendly app. Has basic features for the watch. And is really easy to use. The main thing I don't like is it seems I have to have the watch open all the time. To keep the watch connected. Because the watch is constantly being disconnected when I have my phone in my back left pocket and the watch on my right wrist.
The app works well enough to customize and interact with my watch data. Health data colors are not easy to understand. No instructions included and not a very intuitive design. But once figured out most functions work well. Some functions seem to just spin. Instructions are available from Citizen upon request.
This watch and app combo has me liking it but not loving it so far. The watch is great once you get used to not having a touchscreen. For me it’s the best of both worlds that’s why I bought it. As for the app it seems pretty basic but does everything it needs to I guess. But for the you Q app it doesn’t show my workouts when I log them with the watch and citizen app do I have to enter them manually?
App gets data from watch when offline but cannot update watch without internet. Better than Fitbit that fails at both. I often travel off the grid. This needs to be fixed.
This new update visually looks great and makes the Hybrid Watch a lot easier to use. However it’s now impossible to remove the icon on the bottom of the face that shows your watch isn’t connected to your phone. I use this watch without being connected to my Phone all the time and that notification icon irritates me so much. The old version had an option to remove the icon. Please add it back. I hope I’m just missing something in the options.
Come on citizen use your imagination there’s many watch faces you can add and the customization has a lot of room for growth add some of your trade mark designs a square date window hour and minute markers your divers come on other than that the heart rate monitor if pretty on the sleep tracking I use get it together better faces and customization
I’ve used it for quite a while and the app is not bad but lacks some basic features they need and improve. 1. Edit exercises 2. Sync with the app myQ is not accurate and depends on the Google Fit app. That by the way is going to be sunset next year 2025 3. Lacks of features like, meditations, breathing 4. Able to edit the amount of exercises you want to see in the screen, I have to go through some sports that I’m not interested, this is a waste of time and battery. 5. More face screens. 6. The Riiver feature can improve allowing user to select other preferred sports tournaments like soccer.
I love both my touchscreen and hybrid citizen smartwatches. Best looking watches and all the features and functionality I want. Synch well with iPhone. App is easy to use and all the stats I need. Really enjoy my smartwatches from Citizen.
It so easy to navigate. It tracks my workouts. I have a stopwatch controls my music on my phone. I just got yesterday and it truly the best watch I own. The best part it’s a stylish analog watch.
I chose start a work out, the last two days, and for some reason, the work out got cut/shortened yesterday, and today, even though began the reverse counting, it did not record any time. Timer showed 0 minutes, even though I walked for about 42 minutes.
App functions pretty well. Does all I would like it to do with the exception of working with other apps. It does not communicate directly to most apps. Has to go through I health. But it still gets the job done
Try making all the watch faces more flexible. A lot of the faces are rigid and I’m unable to customize them with the present features. My guess is your app team is lazy or saving cost. Your competition is doing a better job regarding customization.
I’m a new to the Citizen CZ hybrid smartwatch But not to the quality of the Citizen Brand As a Citizen Watch owner for over 3 decades and counting, and personally owning 10 Citizen watch’s and counting I found the CZ watch, as well as the app easy to navigate and use and the CZ watch is stylish as well as functional It’s a great watch that wouldn’t have a problem with recommended to anyone looking for a new watch
Glitchy app with limited features. Disconnects from the watch often. Does not work well on Apple and also cannot text back from the watch. Not sure if the Citizen connected watch and app are yet any near the competition.
Love the watch, but the app is hot garbage. Won’t sync with my phone. So the calendar and weather features are useless. Also can’t log health data. Citizen should be embarrassed.
I got a new iPhone 14 Pro and now my watch doesn’t sync properly. Very upset and disappointed. Is the Citizen Connected app going to update? I’m really unhappy.
After using an Apple Watch and two Garmin smartwatches over the years I decided that being in my 70’s I really didn’t want the mass amount of data they produced. And, I was missing the look of a classic watch. The Citizen hybrid Cz offered exactly what I wanted: classic Citizen style with key smartwatch metrics. I track steps, calories burned, distance, workouts and sleep. I also love that two week battery life. Now to the Citizen Connected app: something is not right. I have been using it for almost two months have been struggling with is the accuracy of its step counter. Early on it seemed that I was walking farther but those steps were not reflected in the totals. Today I performed a test (to support this review). I used my Citizen hybrid, my old Garmin Venu and my iPhone's accelerometer and came up with the following: Steps recorded - iPhone: 12,709, Garmin: 13,319, Citizen: 8,576. This means that I have to take over 30% more steps to meet my goal in Citizen Connect. Another issue is that I want to track distance. On the Garmin my steps equated to 6.6 miles (2016 steps per mile which is low), on the iPhone it equated to 6.1 miles (2083 steps per mile which is just about right) and the Citizen only 3.2 miles (a whopping 2680 steps per mile). Without doing the math it seems to me that I am not getting credit all of my steps or my stride is not correct. I checked the settings in the Citizen Connected app and my height and weight info is that same as what I have in Garmin Connect. Something is not right, I am now using my iPhone to count my steps and may go back to my old Venu.
This app is very user friendly. Super easy to get on and change my watch face whenever I please.all the help tips cover whatever issues you might face, and I haven’t had any just found the tips messing around on the app. Yes it does ask for personal data to help track your calories burned, but if you don’t like sharing personal data then a smartwatch is not for you.
The app is very user friendly and it’s easy to set goals and alerts. However, I’m still adjusting to the difference in the fitness tracking compared to apple. I used to shoot for burning 500-750 calories more than I ate in a day, but with this tracker I am still figuring out what I need to set for calories burned
CZ screen hangs. Doesn’t go further. CZ hybrid watch disconnected itself. Doesn’t re-connect as app update caused app to freeze on open. Gone from wonderful to unusable in 24 hours. A complete mess - is anyone at Citizen listening? The app has now disappeared from the Android playstore. Truly hopeless, the sort of fiasco you expect from a start-up in it’s first days. Fix this fast or lose clients fast.
