(IMPORTANT UPDATE)
My previous review stands because I do believe that this watch can be improved a lot more than what it is right now, and I personally look forward to an improved version.
I returned the previous one and got a couple of other brands to try them, honestly, quality wise, the CZ WINES. So I decided to get another silver one and I’m keeping it… looks great and it will do what I need it to do for the time being.
I honestly expected better just because it’s a citizen and I LOVE everything citizen, but here’s my honest opinion.
Pros:
It does look nice and the large face makes it easy and clear to read.
For the most part it’s accurate in tracking heart rate and sleep.
The smart part is subtle and most people won’t notice that it’s anything but a regular watch until they take a very close look at it, which for me personally is a plus.
Battery life is pretty good, 10 to 14 days depending on usage, but again, for me that’s perfect.
Cons:
It is TOO bulky and heavy for a smart watch
I feel the band can be better, it’s nice thick silicone, but I don’t like that it starts wide and it narrows drastically as you get closer to the buckle, in my opinion this is a very bulky watch and the band needs more guts to complete the look.
Sometimes it’s not quick enough to execute a command when toggling between functions, for example, after reading a notification I would press the home button and it won’t budge from the first time, it takes it a minute to actually go back home and so on.
The worst part for ME is the fact that it’s only 3ATM water resistant rating with recommendation for splash only so you can’t even soak it under water…. Any smart watch needs to be able to handle at least swimming pool water in my opinion, that’s what they need to do to track swimming as part of the exercise functions!! Plus, I expect citizen to be a lead in this matter, most of their watches are 10 ATM and are made for swimming and/ or diving…. So that is a HUGE disappointment for ME.
I own 4 citizen watches because I just love them and love their quality, but as to this one, I’m not so sure if I want to keep it!! 😏

The watch feels and looks like a regular sports watch. It connects fast to your smartphone once you have downloaded “Citizen Connected” app. Your smartphone needs to be within distance or else it disconnects from the watch. The watch keeps the correct time even though it disconnects from your smartphone.

Update: I’ll give this an extra star for the customer service that I received from Citizen USA. I really wanted the silicone band because I’ve been wearing the watch in more active situations so I contacted Citizen USA through their website and the response was very quick. The price for the silicone band by itself is pretty steep, but shipping was quick because I’m local and the customer service response was on point.
I bought this watch because I was looking for a good watch with minimal smart features from a reputable watch brand. I don’t use any other features like step counting or health features. I was literally just looking for a handful of notifications without breaking the bank and this watch fits the bill nicely.
I gave up on smartwatches a few years ago, but I still wanted the ability to receive notifications on my wrist without pulling out my phone every 5 seconds and this works pretty well. I have this paired up with my Samsung Z Fold 3 and the app works fine, notifications work fine, disconnects when I move out of Bluetooth range and reconnects when I come back. The battery life is awesome. I can go more than two weeks without plugging this into the charger. Which is one less thing that I have to worry about keeping charged up at the end of the day.
The screen is basically an E-Ink display, so it flashes to refresh whenever you scroll through the menus but it’s responsive and not that bad once you get used to it. If you use e-readers like the Kindle or Nook then you’re already used to it.
It’s a pretty big watch, which isn’t a big deal for me. I like slightly larger watches. The photo I took compares this to my G-Shock Rangemaster and the two watches actually wear pretty similarly.
Overall, this is a great watch if you’re looking for an older model that you can pickup at a lower price and are only looking for the most basic smart features from a well known watch brand.

Very good smart watch for the price. It’s not comparable with apple and others but minimalistic and 15days battery life is unbeatable.

Bought for my fiance since he doesn’t like the look of Apple watches. He LOVES. sometimes he has problems with connection but it doesn’t happen enough to gives a lesser review! The battery life is 3x my Apple Watch

Where do I begin.
I’ve been a Citizen fan for many years and own 5 traditional watches including a 2000 Stars and Stripes commerative edition that I bought new in 2001; as well as a Citizen Chronomaster 500m Chronometer.
While shopping for a smartwatch I came across this one.
It did not have all the features I would have liked (contact less pay, so2 monitoring) but the potential battery life was a big selling point and justified the premium over other watches with similar features.
Unboxing was fine, everything looked as expected.
My first disappointment was reading the warning on the first pamphlet, stating that the watch was barely even water resistant, much less waterproof!
How is that a thing at all, much less from a “dive inspired” watch?
That alone was a deal breaker but, I had charged it up so I thought I’d might as well give it a try.
Setup and pairing was straightforward and painless.
Immediately I noticed that the pedometer showed I had taken 42 steps, after walking <1m (~3').
Also, even though the watch had been on the supplied charger for at least 4hrs, battery life was only at 72%.
Proprietary Citizen software (mobile app) is woefully limited.
The watch is absolutely useless in the dark, period.
The hands don’t even luminesce so it is literally unreadable if not in good lighting.
There’s likely more but there couldn’t possibly be redeeming qualities for me at this point so I will be looking forward to returning this disappointment.
