Citizen has a new hybrid Smart watch range and although we are generally old school auto/mech watches here at NWC, we scanned the press release anyway.

What we like is that this is a conventional watch design, whereas so many health watches look like black Lego squares. Just saying.

It links to a health app, which is great for some who like to keep fit, or just monitor stuff like daily steps or your heart rate. Here’s the word from Citizen;

The impressive 15-day battery keeps up with your busy lifestyle in a distinctive design that stands out. This new CZ Smart Hybrid watch features a stainless steel sport bezel and 44mm case with functioning dials on the black and white display and pops of yellow on the pushers and luminous analogue hands.

The black silicone integrated strap blends with the overall design and fits perfectly on your wrist. Utilise the Citizen Connected app to manage your notifications, change your dials and see your fitness stats. Stay on track with the convenience of information at a glance on your hybrid smartwatch display. You can choose the dial that fits your mood or style and customise the information on display to meet your needs including, steps, weather, heart rate, and more.

It retails at £269 by the way. More details here.
