Something about smartwatches I've been noticing over the years is that as well as not having a great longevity to them (if not in hardware, then in software), is that manufacturers continue to try cramming in as many functions of a smartphone into a smaller rounded touchscreen rather than focusing on a less is more approach. Seeing the use of the crown as an analogue interface for the UI is great to see more of because, well trying to accurately press icons on smartwatch screens is frustrating at times and nobody wants their beautiful watch face obscured by smudge marks

A “less is more” approach would be to ditch round displays altogether. Only reason mechanical watches were round was because there was a cog in the middle making a sweeping circular movement. Then it was effectively turns into a square watch once the lugs were added on, just with lots of wasted space between the dial and the lugs. Much better to start with a square watch in the first place. Just lazy design without any real thought behind it. Citizen could have done something different here, but the execs are flogging an old design and pretending its made by Citizen.

I can't tell you how much I related to this video. My first "real watch" I ever purchased myself as an adult, was also a Citizen. I've also inherited my fathers first watch, which is also a Citizen (It's over 30 years old and still works great!). Finally, I've also been trying to talk myself out of buying the SkyHawk for my upcoming birthday LOL. Awesome video, Mr. Mobile. All the best to you!

"You never actually own a Patek Philippe. You merely look after it for the next generation." This is why I love traditional watches. You can have a pre-WWII Omega that still keeps good time and is wearable (just for the love of God keep it away from water). These smart watches will last at most for a couple of years until their batteries are shot, then it's landfill time.

You make some of the most enjoyable tech reviews on KZread. Long time viewer here! Congrats on finally reaching 1M BTW, it should have happened way before.

Man, the production and script in these mrmobile reviews are the ceiling on what tech reviewers should be. Made me wanna buy a classic watch sheet WATCHing it

Bought the same watch in 2000 and still keep it in mint condition. Time literally flies.

As always, a reviewer I can trust. Thanks MrMobile. I'm also a long time Citizen fan and this just hurts feelings that they put so little effort into it.

You are an awesome honest reviewer. Humbly introduces a sponsor by not irritating the viewers. Great job mate keep it coming.

I think you hit the nail on the head with this review, I've had smartwatches come and go but throughout the years I've still always gone back to my Oris automatic.

Brilliant review as always Mr Mobile

Superb, thanks M. Have a lovely day. 100% support your review.

Thumbs up for another honest review from MrMobile.

Always deliver on your opening comments !...makes ones know beforehand the ins and outs of the reviewed products.

Wear OS reminds me of the failed MSX gaming console platform from way back and after that 3DO. The manufacturers were/are limited in what they can do and seem to lack the imagination and freedom that comes with creating your own platform. Hence, the success of the superb Samsung (Tizen powered) S3 (still good two years later!) and of course, the Apple Watch, although I prefer circular over rectangular. ;) Citizen should work with Samsung to create a smartwatch that will last at least a decade by using a processor that will not age so quickly and feature a large screen, no dark bezel area that makes the screen look larger than it is, like this Citizen. Great review as usual Mr Mobile! :)

Exciting! Love your videos Commander Fisher!

I wholly appreciate your candor and willingness to criticize brands when something could be done better, or cheaper. Thank you for your honesty.

Thank you for ticking all MY boxes. My first “adult” watch was a Citizen Promaster Windsurfing watch (which I lost, replaced and then found!) For me, (after near hits (and misses)) with two Apple Watches and complete misses with Montblanc and Tag Heuer smart watches I had a lot of hope for the CZ... for just about the same reasons as you listed: robust build and the ability to ‘dial-up’ (pun intended) a collection of faces from the Citizen Hall of Fame. From what you’ve said, I’m going to park those ambitions for version two. Thank you. I really enjoyed this review and found it helpful.

Very nice review!

Hi Mr. Mobile I love you videos, I hope you continue. I like that you do them even though we are in a rough time. Stay Mobile

Excellent review, I'm so glad someone warned me.

Since your review on the first Samsung's edge phone few years ago, i felt something different , this is how a tech journalist should sound ! Never disappointed ! Thank you 🙏

I loved loading classic watch faces from Omega and Panerai on my Asus Zenwatch 3 until it finally died. I've been watching your channel for a while now, and it always convinces me not to buy a replacement just yet. I'm hoping soon you do encourage me to finally replace that missing watch on my arm.

Another great review. Really hits home with me as I'm a watch collector mainly Seiko but all Automatics

Thank you for doing this review

I too am a huge fan of Citizen Eco watches. This is the most relative video on why I will wait to buy my 1st smart watch. Thanks Michael!

When you said the smartwatch won't last 20 years you are spot on. I used to collect watches and have several that are 15 to 20 years old and still running great, I also have an Apple Watch Series 2 that this week has started to stop holding charge it would seem. In the last two days I would put it on at 8am and it would be dead within 5 hours. In the grand scheme of things it's not a big deal considering it didn't cost that much but for anyone buying one of these types of watches that's what they should expect and I babied my watch, never put it in water or worked out in it or used it for phone calls etc, so a heavy handed user I imagine would have less longevity.

very useful and informative... good job...thank you.

So wait for the new soc great to hear kinda wanted one but I'm hesitant great to hear this review

Jelly fish lamp is soo dope man Great review🔥👍

That is what puts me off smart watches, they're not meant to last like a real time piece. I have a few Citizen watches and some Pulsar Spoons too, all of them roughly 20 years old and they all work perfectly. You can't say that about any smart watch.

Wow, this was really a top-notch review. You really hit the nail on the head about it being just another stock WearOS watch. They should've at least tweaked the UI some like the OPPO Watch did.

I personally own a Fossil Gen 5, but I will definitely be going back to traditional watches. I find myself currently wearing my Orient Bambino more than my smartwatch. They are just heartless shells. I like the longevity of an actual watch, Citizen with their EcoDrive makes some of the best Quartz out watches for the price. Just so many options, so many styles, but most importantly, those watches have some semblance of horology behind them.

Great and human review.... thank you for sharing those photos.

Very well done review!! Hopefully we can get the dream of a Google watch with a Week long battery life. Maybe this year. Maybe in 5. But waiting for then until I put one on my wrist.

I am looking for a new WearOS smart watch because my Fossil Sport battery is damaged, what do you guys think I should replace it with?

The last nail of the coffin, you nail it.

Couldn't agree more. I have several Citizen watches. I LOVE them. Their ECODrive technology has kept them running for over 15 years, without a battery replacement. Granted I have had 3 Apple Watches in the past 5 years, I still wear my Citizen timepeaces to formal events or strenuous activities that might damage the more sensitive Apple Watch. There's definitely something beyond monetary value attached to my faithful Citizen watches.

I have the same citizen, but in a brasilian "smoke squadron" special edition. I love it.

Thanks for the review. I have a beautiful Citizen Promaster watch that I have owned since 1999. I have needed to replace the battery every couple years but it is still the gold standard that I have judged all watches. I have many other watches including an Apple Watch series 1 and would love to have another smartwatch but think I will pass this one after watching the review.

Production values of Mr.Mobile Videos are just staggering

citizen fan here... and I 100% agree with you, missed opportunity and too much of a price disparity.

I have the S2 active; it's been a great watch, especially for my job.

My over 5 year old Gear S2 still runs fine. Only the battery got a bit weaker over the years. But I still upgraded to a Galaxy Watch3 last year.

My Gear S2 Classic also seems to have held up well. The battery hasn't degraded as much as I expected it to. That said, the band pin came loose yet again and I just haven't found a want to go back to it. I just stick to my analogue watch.

Citizen kinda following LG's pattern of overpricing smartwatches ( LG Watch W7) 2018 with underwhelming internals. It makes it easy to pick cheaper alternatives with similar internals...great review!

As the owner of a 18 year old Citizen watch myself...its been laying on my nightstand next to a 1 year old Citizen as well as a 14 yo Tissot ever since I got my Galaxy Watch 3 Titanium in October.

Fantastic review...I’m a huge Citizen fan and since I need to replace my Garmin Fenix 3 and I really don’t use most of the Garmin features, I was going to order the CZ...but your review put into perspective for me “...just another Google watch in disguise”. It’s a shame that Citizen didn’t do more to set this watch apart with both software and hardware. Hopefully they’ll see they missed the mark and redeem themselves if they want to enter the Smartwatch market.

Yes, that's what I wanted from you. Keep more review of brand like this in your playlist and appreciate this kind of product rather than reviewing over priced product like apple headphone.

Do Samsung have a patent on the rotating bezel on smartwatches? My S3 Classic is a tall boy but it is also an incredibly nice looking and operating watch.

The casing on this watch is Fossil Hybrid HR FB-01 with some slight modifications. They had to adapt it for use with the OLED screen and other Wear OS-compatible components (e.g. the rotating crown is new), but I think it's 100% made by Fossil, they just slap some Citizen branding on it.
