Citizen CZ Smart PQ2 Hybrid Smartwatch with YouQ Wellness app Featuring IBM Watson® AI and NASA Research, Black and White Customizable Display, Bluetooth, HR, Activity Tracker, 18-Day Battery Life

a charming watch, most functional remote
This is a charming and well made CITIZEN watch, though the design is a bit flashy. The interface is intuitive, but lagging. Customization of the control buttons is most useful. I set the bottom as a shortcut for the phone audio controls, for example. The three push-buttons are large enough and sufficiently far apart to operate while wearing gloves. The screen is very readable, and the brighter the ambient light the better, in difference to the typical screens. I wish it had solar charging, but given the existing technology it would have taken some of the screen real-estate. As is, the charge lasts for weeks and it fully charges for under an hour! Overall, I like it more than I thought I would.

Citizen should not have released this watch.
DO NOT BUY THIS WATCH. I did as 50% of reviews were positive. There’s a reason that 23% of the reviewers on Amazon are giving this watch 2 stars or less. As Citizen’s entry into the Hybrid Market, this watch should not have been released. There are extensive problems with the software and firmware and this watch cannot be repaired by your local Citizen repair facility. The return policy is only 30 days and these watches are working for 45 – 60 days before failing to connect to the app on your cell phone. Once this happens, you will never be able to connect the watch to a cell phone regardless of the number of times you have loaded the app or created new accounts with Citizen. The watch itself still functions, but any plans you may have to review health history are gone as are all of the NASA features, etc. You can continue to see the time and do real-time health checks, but any history that would have been kept on the phone app is no longer available. I’ve spoken to Citizen and they have no solution to this problem. Also, their website to reset your password is listed as “Dangerous Web Page” by Norton security. That should be a huge wakeup call as to the credibility of this watch. Citizen has completely failed their customer base by releasing a dysfunctional watch before it was ready for distribution. Wait a couple of years for Citizen to correct the fatal mistakes on this watch before buying.

A Smartwatch with Style but Software Shortcomings
The Citizen CZ Smart Hybrid Gen 2 is a solid and visually appealing watch with a premium build and a stylish design. However, it falls short in functionality for its price point. One notable drawback is the inability to display full messages from various applications, which limits its practicality as a smartwatch.Additionally, the software experience is frustrating for users outside the U.S. The YouQ app is region-locked, making it inaccessible, and even installing the companion Citizen Connected app required a workaround, as it wasn’t available via the Play Store in my region.Fortunately, I managed to purchase this watch at a significant discount, which softens the blow of these limitations. While the watch delivers on aesthetics and durability, these software restrictions significantly detract from the overall user experience, particularly for international users.

Nice watch serves the purpose intended for, became a fan of it
