The CITIZEN CZ SMART HYBRID watch is ideal for those looking to combine the cool styling of a Citizen timepiece with the tech functionality of a touchscreen smartwatch.
Citizen realised that not everyone wants to wear what looks like a mini LCD screen on their wrist.
Many watch lovers are keen to retain the beauty of a more traditional watch face whilst also having the capacity to think smart – essentially having the best of both worlds.
Cue – the Citizen Hybrid smartwatch.
Eye-catching good looks that won’t be ignored
With its circular dial hosting luminous analogue hands and hour markers, contoured lugs and integrated strap, you could be mistaken for wearing a Promaster chrono.
Sitting boldly on the wrist at 44mm, the casing is crafted from solid stainless steel and houses a sporty looking bezel with a 0-60 scale and brand signature at 12 o’clock.
The customisable black and white display dial is bright and easy to read.
Functions are controlled via chunky stoppers to the right rather than touchscreen.
Let’s Connect
For smart thinking to begin, you’ll need to have a smartphone – either Android OS 5.0+ or iPhone 5/iOS 9.0+ models that are Bluetooth enabled.
The Hybrid uses Citizen’s proprietary operating system known as Citizen Connected App. (Previous Citizen smartwatches were powered with the latest Wear OS by Google.)
Install the Citizen Connected App on your phone either, via the App Store or Google Play, depending on your phone.
Pairing your watch and smartphone is then achieved via the Citizen Connected App.
After successful connection, you’re good to go.
Stepping up to the challenge
The watch features a built in accelerometer which measures activity levels and enables personalised fitness goals to be set with their outcome displayed via the Wellness screen.
From counting calories and Steps, it tracks your progress with the heart sensor monitoring heart rate during activity levels.
You can even challenge friends to a workout and visualise workout routes for maximum impact.
Personalise your watch dial – face up
Enjoy customising your watch dial via the Gallery in the Citizen Connected App.

Whether its incoming email and texts to social media, choose what you want to see.
Functions are controlled through pushers to the right of the dial.

Impressive 15 Day Battery Life
A really cool feature of the CZ Smart Hybrid is the extended battery life when compared to other smartwatches which require almost daily charging.
It’s partially achieved through the offering of streamlined functions, saving on vital battery capacity.
It comes with a charging cable bringing you up to around 80% capacity in 40 minutes.
Perfect if out for the day without access to charging capabilities.

As well as thinking smart, the CZ Smart Hybrid watch is available in a number of finishes depending on your unique style.
From cool silver tones to sleek black, sporty blue or luxurious gold finish, the choice is yours.
