Classy Watch with Bluetooth Time Sync - Excellent for Overseas Travel!
3 of 3 found this helpful As a background, I purchased my Citizen BZ-1000 watch mainly because of its Bluetooth synchronization functionality, but its looks were also a key factor. I mainly need this functionality for easy transition to different time zones, because I travel overseas quite frequently. I don’t need the notifications, and as a matter of fact I disabled them, so I can't comment anything about this functionality. I also have a Casio Edifice Bluetooth watch which I bought several years ago for similar purposes.
Now I've had my Citizen for a little more than a month, and last week I returned from my first business trip with this watch, in which I changed time zones several times.
When I first got it I managed to sync it with my phone and set the time quite easily. It took me some time to figure out how the application works, and especially how to set the second time zone, but once I did it worked as expected. I didn't sync it again for about 4 weeks and it remained quite accurate – only about 7 seconds off – though this is not surprising and what I would expect from any quartz watch.
In my recent trip I found that changing the time zones is as easy as you can expect:
a. Once you land, move your phone out of flight mode and wait for it to sync the time.
b. Open the Citizen app.
c. Push a button on the watch, and after a few seconds it changes its time zone.
Overall I'm happy with my purchase, and here is what I like most about this watch:
1. Looks classy.
2. Easy to sync with my phone and set to different time zones.
3. Eco-Drive technology, which charges from light and doesn't need battery replacement.
4. Has date and day indications with a perpetual calendar.
5. Has a 24-hour dial.
6. Has a battery level indicator.
A few points that could have been better:
1. In some light conditions the mode selection sub-dial at the bottom can be confused with one of the main dials and looks like it's pointing at 6 O'clock, and this makes it slightly harder to determine the time at a glance.
2. The Seconds hand and day-of-the-week sub-dial are blue while the watch face is black, which is not the best contrast and makes it harder to see them.
3. It would be nice to have a sub-dial for the second time zone with an option to switch the two with a push of a button – the Casio Edifice Bluetooth watches all have this functionality.
4. Right after you sync the watch its time is about one second behind that of the phone (which is the accurate time).
