### 2/5 — Needs Updating

*2021-01-16*

Seems like this app hasn’t been updated in six years. Sometimes it won’t even recognise my watch when it’s actually connected. An update would be really appreciated Citizen.

### 1/5 — Citizen Dropped the Ball

*2019-05-20*

I paid a hefty sum for the watch this app connects to, but Citizen chose to screw over their customers by not supporting the app. At least it worked for a little while. Now I have an expensive and pretty but useless timepiece. Never again.

### 1/5 — Citizen proximity

*2018-08-02, version 2.5.0*

J'ai envoyé ma montre pour mettre à jour la version de proximity. Ne se connecte plus sur mon iPhone 8 avec proximity v 2.5. En attente d'une réponse du centre technique de citizen. Suite: Après avoir pris mon numéro car incapable de me répondre, le technicien ne m'a jamais rappelé. Plus de 30 jours se sont écoulés depuis. Je suis prioritaire de quelques Citizen. Pas de danger d'acheter une de plus maintenant.

### 5/5 — いい感じ good feeling

*2018-06-02*

iOS11.4 iPhone7      OK

LINE please

### 1/5 — Décevant

*2017-05-01, version 2.5.0*

La montre est superbe , mais l'application médiocre.

### 3/5 — 要望

*2017-04-02*

こちらのアプリもW770のアプリの様に
もっと機能を充実させて欲しい。

### 1/5 — No longer a smart watch

*2017-01-24, version 2.5.0*

I have a citizen w760 and it never paired with Bluetooth on my new iPhone 7 or my old iPhone 5s after updates. I suggest citizen to steer away from smart watches altogether as it doesn't pair at all. I paid over $400 for a watch that doesn't get proper apps or updates. Acts the same way as a $30 watch would now.

### 1/5 — Doesn't work

*2016-12-21*

Love the watch but hate the app. Will not update firmware. Citizen should be embarrassed.

### 1/5 — Frustrating

*2016-11-30*

Can this app be used for iPhone 6s+?  Unable to pair watch with phone

### 1/5 — Use other App

*2016-10-28, version 2.5.0*

Whilst the Citizen site says use this app, it should be removed as does not work!!!!! It should say use "Citizen Bluetooth App"
