Citizen Watch Delivering [AI Software]
The challenge

Citizen Watch faced a critical moment in their evolution: while they had mastered traditional watchmaking over their 100-year history, they needed to compete in the modern wearable tech market. Their existing product line couldn't tap into the advances in AI, machine learning, and personalized health insights that today's consumers expect.

They needed to

Transform complex NASA research into useful consumer features
Deliver genuine health value beyond basic activity tracking
Build everything in just 24 weeks
The solution

We partnered with Citizen to create CZ Smart YouQ - a powerful wellness platform that combines their watchmaking expertise with cutting-edge AI. The system uses NASA's fatigue management research and IBM Watson Machine Learning to help users understand and optimize their daily energy levels.

Our approach focused on these key areas
Translating complex science into useful features people actually want

Deliver genuine health value beyond basic activity tracking
Creating a foundation for continuous improvement through user feedback
The results

In just 24 weeks, we helped Citizen deliver a first-of-its-kind wearable wellness platform and establish their presence in the connected tech space. The platform delivered personalized, science-backed value to users, helping them track, understand, and optimize their daily energy levels seamlessly across mobile and wearable devices.
