  • Product Description
    Product Specifications

    Frederique Constant is a luxury watch brand founded in 1988 in Geneva. The brand’s first collection was released 4 years later in 1992. The company name comes from combining the first names of the founder’s great-grandparents. Frederique Constant is a brand heavily involved in every aspect of the production of its timepieces, from the design to the mechanism. Even though there is a strong focus placed on the appearance of the watches, the brand does not neglect the movements. Through their watches, Frederique Constant aims to make horological elitism a thing of the past. The brand believes in making luxury accessible to all people, while still maintaining its high-end appeal and high standards. 

    Core Features of the Smartwatch Vitality Collection: 

    • The Vitality collection offers an understated subtle take on the smartwatch. It features both an analogue and digital dial. The digital display of the watch is revealed on demand. 
    • A focus is placed on the watch’s durability through the use of sapphire crystal to encase the dial.

    Model Specifications: FC-287B5B6

    • The polished stainless steel case measures 42 mm in diameter.
    • Highlighting the elegant design is a black sunray dial
    • White hour-markers have been applied onto the dial.
    • The silver leaf-shaped hands complete the dial design. 
    • Securing the watch is a black rubber strap.
    • Functions on the watch include hours, minutes and seconds, alongside a heart rate monitor, a second time-zone, smart notifications and activity tracking.

    Customer picture of Frederique Constant Vitality Smartwatch (42mm) Black Dial / Black Rubber Strap FC-287B5B6 This watch has a quality feel and is nicely finished. I had some problems with connecting to bluetooth the first couple of months (it would disconnect and not automatically reconnect) but this issue seemed to go away. The biggest issue is that it jumps an hour or loses an hour every couple of weeks causing me to miss meetings (or be far too early). I've reset it a few times but this hasn't corrected the issue. I've sent it in for warranty repair but am doubtful they'll be able to fix it. Customer service with FC was not really that good. They had the wrong email address and phone number for the service center in Canada which was a little concerning. What is the point of a luxury watch that can't keep time? A $20 Timex would be more reliable. Aside from this, the watch face is hard to see in bright light (too much reflection) and the digital display is impossible to see outdoors. I would not recommend this watch to anyone.

    Dear Mr Mayer,

    I am very sorry to see that you have been having trouble with your watch. I tried to check the logs regarding your contact with our customer service team however I couldn't locate this unfortunately. Due to this I believe you may have spoken to our international fulfilment team rather than directly with our customer service team.

    The correct contact for Frederique Constant in Canada is as follows:

    CITIZEN WATCH CANADA LTD.
    380 Bentley Street, Unit 2
    ON L3R 3L2 Markham

    Tel: +1 800 263 7799
    Email: CustomerService_CA@citizenwatchgroup.com

    I have not come across an issue before with the watch suddenly changing time. We would normally suggest to check the timezone settings on the app and phone, as well as calibrating the hands if the app offers this functionality, but it sounds like you have already reset the watch several times. If you are unable to have this issue resolved through the service centre, please do not hesitate to contact us directly regarding this and we will do our best to assist.

    My sincere apologies for any inconvenience caused,

    Kind regards

    Scott

    Not a great watch. Problems from the start.

    Would not link to phone for very long. Watch would die after a short while and would need reviving by the charger despite having a near full charge.

    Frederique Constant customer services were patronising and unhelpful (they told me to update the app and watch firmware. This is the modern day equivalent of ‘have you tried turning it off and on again’). FC didn’t even respond to my reply stating that this was not the issue.

    Don’t buy this watch if considering a hybrid, purchase a Kronaby instead. This is what I did and have had no issues at all.
