CZ Smart PQ2 42mm Hybrid Gold Smartwatch with YouQ wellness app featuring IBM Watson® AI and NASA research, Bluetooth, HR, Activity Tracker, 18-day battery life

Pro: Easy to use and customise, the controls are intuitive and easy to adjust to. Con: App needed sideloading because it wasn't available outside US/CA/UK, terrible decision on Citizen's part. Overall, I would not recommend this watch to a non-tech person, as they will most likely struggle with setting it up. I love using it for myself, and it is everything I was looking for in a hybrid smartwatch. The real let down for this to shine was Citizen's lack of support outside the above countries.

Failed within seven months. Other than that, OK but quite limited flexibility and uses.

So this is a review for the hybrid watch, not the touchscreen watch. The difference (which really isn't spelled out anywhere very well) is that the hybrid has buttons and actual hands that tell the time. There is a LCD screen under the hands that give the smart watch functions. Also, it is only splash resistant, not water resistant. That said, I think this watch is amazing. 18 day battery life? yes please. Vibration notifications, thank you. Doubletap screen to turn on light? yup...discovered that by accident. Easy to navigate? very much so. The buttons make it very easy. Middle button to go to functions, top or bottom to rotate pointer, then middle button again to select. One user didn't like how small the notifications were on his watch...well, there is an option to increase the font size. Turned that on, and no problem reading them. And the watch is dead sexy. Does it look like a smart watch? nope. I got the brown leather band, the black metal body...and it is gorgeous. I can change the screen underneath to a dozen presets, or build my own with the app. I'm very curious as to how the YouQ feature works. There are two apps to load for this watch. The first is to manage the watch, the second is to manage the YouQ fitness aspect. Both installed easy (do the Citizen Connected app first, then the CZ Smart YouQ) and the watch connected fine the first try. If you are looking for a well built watch that gives you a lot of smart watch features but still looks amazing and also has the best battery life, then the hybrid is for you.

After a few months the watch stopped charging. I sent it to the lab who confirmed that it really didn't charge, they sent me a new watch and the same thing happened again, the product is simply not of high quality.

Con, Eink display, unlike OLED, is slow. Less smart tech and less customization compared to touchscreen smartwatches with Google os, yes you can arrange sensor output as you like, but it will only display data numerically. Pro. Long lasting battery, 18 days total in one charge. The watch has the best dial finish, I feel that the finish is some what scratch resistant as well. The leather is really thick, and with quality finish as well. The sensors are inside a glass like cover, makes it very comfortable to wear. Altogether, this is a classic citizen watch, a quality watch with just enough smart technology to keep you updated and less distracted.
