I recommend buying this watch. I really enjoy its unique performance and its specifications are fantastic.

Overall, I like to watch I end up catching the watch for $60 used very good condition It took the apps about two days to completely download to the watch My 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 all You can make and receive calls from the watch everything is pretty clear But 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.

07/14/23 UPDATE: The watch started getting hot and battery would die in under 4 hours. Returned for replacement. 10/26/23 UPDATE: Battery life was just terrible and apps weren't working. Got so bad across the board that Citizen recalled the watch.

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.

Bought this as a Christmas present for my fiance, he loves Citizen watches and has a few but no smartwatch. He absolutely loves it and it was so easy to set up with his Samsung phone. All functions are great and it looks sleek, not cheap.
