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. Read more

Real lucky if you can get 24 hours of use on a full charge. All other smart watches that have the same functions and cost under $100 get 5 to 7 days on a full charge so why can’t this one for the money these cost ? Read more

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. Read more
