Citizen Proximity Bluetooth Watch For iPhone Hands-On
At first glance, this upcoming watch from Citizen is modern and cool, but it barely suggests its core appeal as a timepiece with Bluetooth connectivity. Look closely on the dial and you’ll find the Bluetooth logo to suggest it may do something else. This is Citizen’s first Bluetooth capable timepiece (that I am aware of) and it has been specially designed to only work with the Apple iPhone.I actually find it a bit amusing that most people looking at the wealth of text on the dial would probably not see anything to suggest this new watch collection from Citizen is meant to connect to the iPhone. A closer look at the Citizen Proximity dial reveals indicators such as “CALL and MAIL.” That is something you don’t typically see on even the most high function Citizen Eco-Drive timepieces. While your iPhone is stuck in a pocket or bag, the watch can tell you if you have a range of incoming alerts such as a missed call or new message.
BEST FROM: & Friends July 31, 2019
This is a very special July because we celebrate the 50th anniversary of the moon landing. If you think about it, it's amazing that, 50 years ago, we were able to send people to the moon and back. Even with today's resources and know-how, this feat hasn't been repeated. It's therefore fitting that this round-up includes a couple of Omega watches and stories about the Speedmaster and the moon landing.The moon landing and Omega Speedmasters aside, we also have an exceptionally complicated watch in the Genus GNS 1. Genus is a new watch brand whose first watch features a unique way of telling the time. Next, we have a story about an ultra-complicated pocket watch from one of the most famous bankers in history, J.P. Morgan. And rounding things off, we have another bank-related story. Did you know that safe deposit boxes aren't exactly, well, safe? If you use a safe deposit box to store your watch collection, you don't want to miss this story.
