Customers are saying

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.

    As a new Pokemon Go player, this has helped me immensely. I recommend this specific device. There are occasional disconnects, but these occur to preserve the battery of the device. Reconnecting has been relatively easy.

    Easy to use. Great options between catching Known and Unknown. Connect and start walking. Remember to always stock up on regular Pokéballs, they go by fast. Highly Recommend.

    It quit working after two days. Would not turn on. Two weeks later it suddenly started working again. Charging is not fun either you have to take the band off and it feels like you are going to break it.

    This watch was bought because I was sick of my son constantly being on his phone for Pokémon. This watch catches the Pokémon and does some other things that he does not have to stare at his phone all day!

    Love this watch! It catches the Pokemon and then spins the Pokestops so much better than the Pokeball. My partner and I are having a lot of fun with this watch.

    Pairs well with my iPhone. Battery life is much better than older version. Range for catching and spinning is good! Often spins stops I can’t get by hand from a moving vehicle.

    Bought this to replace a standard Go-tcha bracelet that was lost, but was a pain in the hindquarters to use anyway. The Evolve wristband resolves all my issues with the original. Almost immediately after I got the original Go-tcha, the plastic face of the device broke and wouldn't stay on the little pill-shaped device without tape. Not long after that, one of the wires connected to the circuit board broke and then the item had a short in it that made it nearly impossible to activate. I could eventually get it to work, but it was difficult. The Evolve works just like the original in terms of connecting to my game and works as well as the other did in that respect. But the physical construction is 1000x better. It also has great battery life.

    Works really well, catches a lot. Works great for pre-teen child riding his bike collecting characters rather than him stopping and not paying attention to traffic

    This works great. I love that I can play hands. Free. A lot of the. Events happen when I work so this is perfect and it counts my steps so I now add even when I couldn't take my phone.

    Stopped charging after being used like 3 times. Hard to take off hand that has the USB port to charge which was probably why it broke

    Prefer the original. The graphics are better and are in color but that is really the only difference I feel is noticeable. It performs how it says so it is a good option if you no longer can get an original.

    I bought this to make the pokemon game more accessible while driving. To my surprise, the device also acts as a watch and step counter. Great to have a device that replaces my old fitbit.
