Citizen announced a new smartwatch that brings the best of NASA and IBM Watson’s neural networks to help you gauge your wellness, fatigue and sleep patterns. Citizen CZ Smart works alongside the CZ Smart YouQ app for Android and iOS to help determine the wearer’s current energy score and forecast the remainder of the day.
The watch also features brief gamified
tests based on NASA’s Psychomotor Vigilance Task Test (PVT+) used by the space
agency to determine the mental alertness of astronauts. The watch tracks user
activity patterns and sleep schedules to develop “Power Fixes” to help the
wearer stay alert and battle fatigue. Users will get timely suggestions on when
to rest and the ideal time to workout.
Citizen CZ Smart comes in 41mm and 44mm
sizes with both models featuring a 1.3" AMOLED touchscreen and boasts the
Snapdragon Wear4100+ chipset as well as 8GB onboard storage. You also get heart
rate and SpO2 sensors as well as a gyroscope, barometer and accelerometer. The
watch boots Google's WearOS and comes with built-in Strava, Spotify, YouTube
Music and Amazon Alexa apps. Citizen claims you can expect over 24 hours of
battery life while a full charge should take around 40 minutes.
Citizen CZ Smart will arrive in the US in
March 2023. Pricing starts at US$ 350.
