Customers consistently note the Go-tcha Evolve's auto-catch and auto-spin features as being incredibly useful, making it easier to play Pokémon GO without constantly checking their phones. The long battery life is also widely praised. However, there are concerns about its durability, with some customers reporting that it stopped working after a month. Connectivity issues and a difficult charging process are also mentioned as pain points.

    I think I decided to pick one of these up at the wrong time. Supposedly they go through bouts of issues with every update to Pokemon GO, so getting it to connect and stay connected was a chore. Apparently Niantic changed it to where they automatically disconnect after an hour, which sucks. Sometimes it was unresponsive, and with no physical buttons, you were SoL if it just chose not to work. Also, it takes some exceptional force to get the wristband off to expose the charging port, I guess it would need to so it doesn't randomly fall off while you're wearing it, but kinda poor design choice IMO. I specifically bought an "open box - excellent" item and it arrived with the face scratched all to hell, so that coupled with it not working most of the time, it got returned. Probably a good item when it works, but it seemed like too much of a hassle for me to keep up with it. I bought it so I could get more steps and stops while I was at work, but I can't stop every hour to reconnect it, generally a useless product. None of the connection problems are the fault of Datel though, but I would much prefer a physical button somewhere on it.

    I thought it would be great to have one of these that worked as a watch too, and it seemed to be a major improvement on the previous version, but when I tried to open up the USB adapter in the band I had a lot of trouble getting it open. It worked great for a few days until I tried charging it again and found out the USB was completely broken and wouldn't charge at all (and I've been out of the country so I was unable to return it and get my money back). I'd love to get another one of these but the USB connector is way too flimsy and hard to open so I guess I'll have to wait for an updated version. It's a shame but if they can fix that problem they'll have a great product.

    was great especially for the price, helped me get various event shinies when combined with incense, used a lot especially while bike riding. highly recommend it for any pokemon go, player. can be used while attacking a gym or doing a raid so while you're doing that your gotcha is catching pokemon for you.

    Almost a years worth of use, and let me tell ya I love it. Very helpful and works wonders both physically and digitally on game. Seeing my steps counted is a plus. Will occasionally disconnect but reconnecting is no issues.

    I used this watch everyday to help me advance further in Pokemon Go and I love this product! Honestly, I wish there was an app to download on my Galaxy watch because I would do it in a second. However, my son still uses this product and it was priced adequately.

    The Go-tcha Evolve is exactly the auto catcher I was looking for! It spins stops and catches current spawns for me, while doing other tasks, such as raids. Only complaint is that it doesn't use great balls or ultra balls, Poke balls only.

    Son loved this to play Pokémon go. When he’s in the car, he can catch the monsters and play. Of course he walks around too- but this helps without having to stop when running errands.

    Excellent value and worth every penny! Makes hitting all stops easy peasy. It is a game changer for someone that is driving because the watch does it all. Easy to use!!

    It gets the job done. But man is it very glitchy. It randomly disconnect and automatically turn off Autospin pokestops and catch pokemon. So every so often you have to change the settings to your desired settings. There are better ones on the market.

    Face scratches real easy. Other then that it’s easy to set up. Once set up works perfect if you driving stay under 25 mph for it to collect and catch. But the watch will display once what ever it’s going for is completed.
