Citizen CZ Smart PQ2 Smartwatch with YouQ App IBM Watson AI and NASA research, Wear OS by Google, HR, GPS, Fitness Tracker, Amazon Alexa, iPhone Android Compatible, IPX6 Rating (Packaging May Vary)

Overall, I like to watch I end up catching the watch for $60 used very good conditionIt took the apps about two days to completely download to the watchMy phone disconnected from the watch about five times total the first day but by the second day everything was A1…..You can get messenger apps text message apps email apps you can read whatever is sent to you, but you cannot respond through text message at allYou can make and receive calls from the watch everything is pretty clearBut I do know the company does not specialize in smart watches so they’re getting there. There may be some things they need to add in upgrade, but this is a very nice watch to have …. Once I figure out everything and how it works I know I’m gonna prefer this over my Apple Watch oh and if you’re wondering, it works great with Apple.

This watch says Citizen, but it is a Fossil through and through. (Fossil Gen 6, to be specific) This watch is incredibly frustrating to use. Input lag is horrible, and heaven forbid if you’re downloading something when you want to interact with the watch. It literally freezes up. Downloads are painfully slow, and 50% of the time, remote installs via Play Store do not process on the watch. I’ve yet to see more than 5 hours of battery life before the watch switches to extended mode.Watch faces are gimped because they have “curated” your customization options. So the background color and other colors change in unison – you have no granularity. No dark blue with white text for you. Citizen has decided that is no “on brand” apparently.Calendar does not sync with anything, regardless of the setup process. So, the built-in calendar apps are useless. Google pay no longer exists, so it updated to Google Wallet. This is fine, but when you try to configure a default payment, it wants to use Google Pay through Google Wallet.This really isn’t rocket science. If you’re going to go “all-in” with Wear OS, then do that. This hybrid environment masquerading as Wear OS is broken and inefficient. For what this device costs, the experience should be on par with a Galaxy Watch or an Apple Watch. This isn’t TicWatch or Amazfit – people are willing to make allowances for user experience at their prices, though, to be fair, they “get it” when it comes to UX, generally speaking.Bottom line, if you’re looking for a smartwatch in a more traditional watch casing, this isn’t it.

This is a beautiful watch, and is comfortable to wear. However, the app software and connectivity with this watch is incredibly clunky to, say the least. With other smartwatches (including the cheap ones), the connectivity is seamless. You can connect to a new phone or device quickly and efficiently, but not with this watch. Anytime you want connect to a new device, you have to factory reset the watch and have to start over. If there is a way to switch devices where I don't have I do that, I couldn't find it, and I scoured through the watch and the app, to no avail. All the custom faces and specific options are just gone. Then, after the reset, it takes the app a bit to even get the options back that it had before resetting. As I said, it's clunky and not nearly up to the same level as other smartwatch platforms. My recommendation for Citizen is to put some work into your app and save account data so transitioning your watch from device to device isn't such a pain. When I see the name Citizen on a watch, I expect the highest quality, precision, style, and functionality. Let's face it, their Ecodrive watches are sweet! However, this experience with their smartwatch app/software makes it feel like they rushed this out of product testing without it fully being ready to actually go. I know the new trend seems to be going to smartwatches instead of the traditional ones, but if you're going to be competitive in this particular market, you need to have an app that'll compete too.So grading wise:Style: A+Battery life: C- (have to charge every night.. not the biggest deal but other smartwatches can last significantly longer aka days to weeks)App/software: FFunctionality once you get through the app woes: A- to B+I believe in Citizen and I know they can improve on this product as time goes on. I wouldn't say "buyer beware" but maybe wait until this one is on sale.

I loved

En comparación con otra marca, la batería no dura tanto, y no tiene la opción de elegir una foto personalizada para la esfera. Estoy en Panamá y tuve problemas para bajar el apps por temas de región. En general buen producto
