Everything about Citizen's new smart watch! Using NASA technology

The CZ Smart's tech was developed using NASA and IBM Watson technology. Citizen has announced its latest CZ Smart smartwatches that feature a built-in AI "self-care advisor," as the company said. The new YouQ app was built with IBM Watson Studio and uses NASA technology to show the wearer when they're at their most alert or in other words, fatigued. This is done in order to "maximize their daily potential," the company said.

The unique idea is that the CZ Smart's YouQ app uses IBM Watson's neural networks to learn a user's "chronotype" (preferred timing of sleep and wake) over a seven to ten day period, by processing sleep data and "alert scores."

Using that data, the YouQ app can learn your unique rhythms and habits. From there, it creates a dynamic recognition model to recommend "Power Fixes," or actions and activities to help the wearer reduce the effects of fatigue, improve alertness and promote better habits. Over time, it can increase personalization and possibly the effectiveness of the Power Fixes for each person.

The new technology is only available on the new second-generation CZ Smart watches (the first generation that was launched in 2020, and the company also has a CZ Smart Hybrid lineup).

Those come in 44mm sport and 41mm casual models, with mesh bracelets, links and silicone straps. When it comes to the Technology, they offer 1.3-inch AMOLED displays, Snapdragon Wear 4100+ processors with 8GB of storage, and feature 24+ hours of battery life with "faster charging."

As for sensors, you get a gyroscope, altimeter, barometer, accelerometer, heart rate sensor and SP02 ambient light sensor. It comes pre-packed with the YouQ wellness app, Strava, Spoitfy, YouTube Music and Amazon Alexa.

It runs on Wear OS, and works with iPhone or Android devices.
