Following its unveiling earlier this year, the second-gen Citizen CZ Smart smartwatch is now available for pre-order, starting at $350.
The latest version of the Citizen CZ Smart embraces Google’s Wear OS 3 reboot with a customized smartwatch experience that focuses on self-care. The “YouQ” app uses data collected from the watch’s various sensors to help wearers “understand and anticipate patterns of fatigue and alertness and offers customized insights and personalized strategies.”
Under the hood, the CZ Smart is based on Fossil’s current Gen 6 platform, including the Snapdragon Wear 4100+ chipset, 1GB of RAM, 8GB of storage, and 24-hour battery life with fast charging. The watch is available in both 41mm and 44mm sizes.
Our Abner Li went hands-on with the second-gen Citizen CZ Smart back at CES 2023, noting Citizen’s customized take on Wear OS 3:
As of today, April 17, Citizen is officially opening pre-orders for its second-gen CZ Smart smartwatch lineup, including both the Casual and Sport options. Notably, pre-orders were briefly available on Amazon back in January citing a March launch, but the watch apparently was hit with a further delay that Citizen kept relatively quiet. The watch is still listed as “unavailable” on Amazon.

Meanwhile, the most expensive is the CZ Smart PQ2 Sport in its 44mm size with a gray stainless steel band, which costs $435. The full list of options is below.
