Japan-based watch brand Citizen has announced its new \u2018CZ Smart\u2019 watch that comes with a built-in self-care advisor in the form of the CZ Smart YouQ application.<\/p>\n

Citizen says that the application was developed in partnership with NASA\u2019s Ames Research Center and AI technology from IBM Watson, and that it helps wearers understand and anticipate patterns of fatigue and alertness and offers personalized strategies to build better habits and maximize their daily potential.<\/p>\n

The CZ Smart YouQ application uses neural networks developed in the IBM Watson Studio workspace to learn about the wearer\u2019s chronotype (individual sleep and wake patterns) within seven to ten days by processing sleep data and \u2018Alert Scores.\u2019 The software also \u201cdeepens that understanding over time,\u201d says Citizen.<\/p>\n

The \u2018Alert Scores\u2019 are reportedly generated when the wearer takes a custom-designed Alert Monitor test, which is a consumer version of NASA\u2019s Psychomotor Vigilance Task Test (PVT+). This was originally created to measure the mental acuity of astronauts. According to Citizen, with such personal data points, including Alert Scores, chronotype, sleep patterns, activity and heartrate monitoring, \u201cCZ Smart YouQ quantitatively analyzes and learns about the wearer\u2019s unique characterization, rhythms, and habits to enhance personalization.\u201d<\/p>\n

The watch subsequently suggests actions that the wearer should take to mitigate the effects of fatigue, improve alertness, and promote the building of better habits over time.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe latest CZ Smart watch is a game-changing product that brings Citizen\u2019s legacy of watchmaking together with best-in-class research and technology of NASA and IBM, directly to wearers\u2019 wrists,\u201d said Jeffrey Cohen, President at Citizen Watch America. \u201cCoupled with the proprietary CZ Smart YouQ application, this smartwatch is a revolution in wearable wellness.\u201d<\/p>\n

The second-get CZ smartwatches from Citizen run the new YouQ software. The newest version of the CZ Smart watch, which includes the CZ Smart YouQ application, will be available for purchase in the United States via the Citizen website starting in March 2023.<\/p>\n

The CZ smartwatches will be available on Citizen Watch\u2019s website<\/a> and Best Buy (in March). Pricing ranges from $469-$499 for the Sport and $399-$479 for the Casual.<\/p>\n
