What a beautiful, high end, function packed device. This watch is everything Ive been searching 2 years for. Elegant, big face, smart design, fitness tracking, Google pay compatible, etc. Well done. Love it. A++

Using Ios, it’s a bit clunky and somewhat cumbersome to set it up. The screen navigation takes some getting used to. It’s construction and quality are very good. No issues with performance. If the ios set up was more user friendly it would have been (5) five stars.

I’ve been a long fan of citizen watches, having owned and collected quite a few of their models over the years. If it weren’t for the need for biometric tracking I’d still be wearing those today. Well, that changed last week when I received my Citizen CZ Smartwatch. All the looks and branding of a classy watch, with none of the missing features. The packaging and overall presentation of the watch in the box are very attractive (far better than the previous citizen watches I’ve owned including the eco-drive solar-powered watch). The watch is available in three colours, this one is stainless steel, but it’s also available in black and gold. The strap install is rather cumbersome due to the metal loop, but with some finesse, one can install the strap rather easily. What I did miss in the box and I wish Citizen had included one, was the link removal tool. Thankfully, one of my other watches had it, so I used that to re-size my watch to fit my wrist. The watch runs Google Wear OS. If you are entrenched into the Google ecosystem, this is the watch to have. Downloading the WearOS app on my phone was a breeze, but getting the phone to pair seemed to be a bit finicky at best. It took some time for the Bluetooth to be detected by the phone, but after that, the rest of the setup was quite easy. Once paired, the initial updates of the operating system and apps, the phone was ready for your wrist. First off, one must temper the expectations, this is not an iWatch, it’s a WearOS powered watch, with many similar features, but not all the features. It features message notification, Google assistant, on-watch speakerphone, Google pay, Google fit & fitness tracking with GPS features, and emergency ‘noonlight’ safety notification among others. If you are looking for a wide variety of apps, well you got 4GB of space to fill that up with. However, the app experience is limited and I found that aspect a bit of a downer since I was expecting more app compatibility. The google apps that you need for daily use (calendar, mail, text messaging, assistant, phone calls) all work fantastically well. You will be swiping your way to productivity in no time. Between the three buttons and a rotating centre crown, and the 4-way swiping motion, one can easily navigate the watch. So what is the watch like to use on a daily basis? Other than the battery life which can be improved by turning off the GPS and other screen optimizations, you will find yourself charging it every night. On average, I ran about 20 hours before it needed charging. The watch is heavy and classy, I got quite a few comments on date night for its looks. What the watch seemingly lacks in ability, it makes up for looks, however, as stated - this is no iWatch, the basics are there and they work very well, and if that is all you need, this is the watch for you. For an everyday watch, this works well and will hold up way better than any other device thanks to its rugged construction. Pros: * Gorgeous classy watch for that guy who has everything * Built-in GPS, Heart Rate Monitor, Google Assitant, Google Ecosystem, GPay * Noonlight - safety system Cons: * Heavy.. Took a bit of getting used to, not for small wrists * Text size is not adjustable, hard to read notifications when it pops up, even though it's clear to read. * Sleep monitoring isn’t as accurate as my other smartwatch, I wore both to bed to compare. * Loses sync with the phone - has to be re-connected often.

Love the watch except the battery runs out quickly, other than that, love how it looks and how it works. I specially love the you can change straps.

Good product. Battery will drain fast unless you turn dome options off. I start at 6am and by 4pm it was twlling me how to conserve the battery.
