“I have owned several smart watches. I have been partial to Fitbit for years, but after experiencing multiple overheating issues and developing a preference for style, I decided it was time to replace my Fitbit with a CZ Smart Hybrid. I LOVE the look of it, the tracking and smart features are on par with the Fitbit, and I actually prefer the fact that it doesn't have a touch screen. I have an extensive watch collection (including three more Citizens), and I only wear the CZ to bed and for exercise for the most part, but I'm extremely happy with it.”

“I have always been a fan of Citizen watches. I have four of them and purchased the Hybrid Smartwatch as an option to my Apple Watch. Fantastic battery life and great classic looks. Overall happy with my purchase with some issues. First, no Apple/Google pay. You'll have to pull your phone out for that. Next, I have an issue where the dials disappear. Theres a setting to show/not show the dials and although I dont change it, it sets itself to hide dials every so often. Another issue is if you have complications to show weather or a different time zone, they are not constant. You have to flick your wrist for it to update the time (it does show time difference and city constant so I dont know why it can't show the actual time) or, have to have the app running on your phone for the weather to update. Aside from the issues, I like the watch and swap between it and an Apple watch depending on what I'm doing. You'll have to decide for yourself depending on your use case. Definitely not as integrated as the Apple watch, so you're paying for looks at a lower price point.”

“I would not buy this or any smart watch from citizens. I first purchased the CZ Smart touchscreen and it lagged behind when you would swipe to do something. You would have to wait on it to catch up. I sent it back and bought the CZ Smart hybrid. Straight out of the box is has not worked. I emailed customer service. They asked for the number on the back of the watch. I sent that 5 days ago and have not heard anything back from them.”

Citizen Customer From Puerto Rico

Unverified Reviewer

“As an exclusive Citizen customer and avid collector, I had been contemplating adding this watch to my collection for quite some time, and finally did after weighing all the reviews I could come across in this website, other vendors’ websites, and every social media platform. And, I am very glad I did. The watch is not for those who prefer cloned cellphone screens as watches, but for people who prefer practicality, functionality, style, and uniqueness over fad. It conveys everything a smartwatch should be, cleverly packed into a “dive watch” case, where even the hour and minute hands have secondary and tertiary functions. The watch is a real treat, even for the most purist horologists who might frown upon smartwatches. However, I just came across a very unpleasant surprise as I set up the watch through its different supporting apps. The watch is mainly controlled by the “Citizen Connected” app, which provides a series of advanced setting options, beyond basic settings managed through the watch itself. As I browsed through this app, I came across a series of icons unrelated to the watch’s functions that did not respond as expected and did not lead to their intended targets, however my intrigue led me to reach out to Citizen for their support. After a very diligent and amicable series of email exchanges, that even included screenshot videos, Citizen could not identify the source of the problem until I shared that I live in San Juan, Puerto Rico, to which they responded that the app is only available in the mainland USA, Mexico, Canada, and the UK. For a company from Japan (a series of islands, just like Puerto Rico), who has prided itself in producing watches that adapt and perform in any timezone (PCAT’s of which I own 2 and receive their update radio signal between 2:00 AM and 4:00 AM every morning from the Fort Collins, Colorado, USA station; and Altichron’s, of which I own 1 that provides me directions and altitude anywhere in the world I am), limiting an apps full functionality to 4 countries is very disappointing. As confirmation to all this, I activated my cellphone’s VPN (Virtual Private Network) and set it for one of the supported countries, and a series of other functions sprung into the app, including the much advertised “Riiiver watchfaces” with expanded self-updating displays and functions, which automatically disappear from the app and the watch when deactivate my VPN. In summary, I can download the apps (Citizen Connected, YouQ, and Riiiver), for exactly the same watch being sold worldwide, but have limited functionality due to living in Puerto Rico: truly appalling. I truly hope this review helps any decision-making process from potential buyers in unsupported areas/countries, or moves Citizen to update the app(s) to support currently unsupported areas/countries.”

“Has all the modern tech I need without sacrificing the look of a traditional watch. Great built and great features. Case is made of stainless steel. Watch feels really well made. One of the best purchases I made.”
