    It has worked great and is super useful. It does have trouble connecting to the phone sometimes

    It is kind of high maintenance, and since it's worn as a bracelet, I wish it was at least a little water-resistant. But it's the best thing out there for auto-catching and spinning.

    So had it for 2 days. Would lose connection and after day 2 wouldn't charge. Got a replacement so we'll see. Got it on sale couldn't see paying $40 so hard to recommend.

    This watch is awesome when it works! When I first got the watch it worked perfect, it was quick and responsive and would get every stop and Pokémon Then it started lagging a bit and stopping on its own Now it just works when it wants to which is about 75% of the time. Also the design is really bad the main unit of the watch is a super small looking pill with a screen which is easy to lose and the way it sits in the watch leaves it vulnerable to scratches and scuffs which it easily gets and are very visible. But other than that this thing really is cool when you’re working or near Pokestops and too busy to play it plays for you. I’ve caught a few shiny’s with it and really helps with getting and sending gifts.

    Have been playing Pokemon GO for almost 3 years and finally bought one of these. It's great to turn on while driving through town and allows you to be hands free. Only downfall is it has to be resynched after an hour if you're playing for long periods of time.

    I’ve wanted this item since it came out for sale and it went on sale for a price I had a five dollars for rewards money and I got it even less than the sale price and it was shipped to my house and it needed to be charged for set up but the battery life is tad bit short but it is an excellent item

    Catches Pokemon with regular pokeballs and spins pokestops and gyms.

    If you are serious about playing the game to the most effective level, you will want to get this. Yes you will “miss” things you would catching normally but with it you will end up having more chances to get. Or turn it on to just spin stops for you instead!

    The Go-tcha watch is really helpful for catching Pokemon and spinning Pokemon stops on the go. This is the second one I have purchased however because the face on the other one fell off when I bumped it against a piece of furniture. I recommend carrying this in on of the cases available instead of wearing it as a watch.

    I heard mixed things about them but got it because why not. Mine actually broke due to my negligence (i stepped on it) and cracked the glass and i keep it on my keys and my keys clipped to my bag and well after some rain and a few weeks of it not having no glass it broke. But nonetheless I will get another.

    Completely worthless. This watch wouldn’t charge without checking on it to see if it fall off.. It wouldn’t click in to the charging port it came with.. the cord was way to short. After taken 14 hours to charge.. It wouldn’t stay connected to my phone or my sons game. Good luck getting the gotcha back in the band!!

    It does not catch a lot of Pokémon. If it is shiny, it will be caught. Does spin every poke stop. Not long battery life..

    I love this thing. It's clunky and annoying but it makes life so much easier. Low range, but it catches pokemon and pokestops reliably and well worth it. The Evolve is even better, mostly because battery life is so much better.

    My wife loves Pokemon Go and I got this for her as a present. The setup is really clunky and it often doesn't work well. It's really difficult to determine if this thing is actually on and working or has unpaired with your phone. When it did work the functionality it added wasn't really worth keeping it.

    I had the original Pokemon Go Plus. It was great but then i lost it. This one does so much more, auto spin's stops, it can only try to catch new pokemon rather than ALL pokemon it comes across, it has A WAY BETTER band that the Go Plus did, it's rechargeable. A few minor issues are: a)the touch face is pretty sensitive, I've turned off setting accidentally a few times. b) the vibration setting is CRAZY loud, i had to turn it off. Other than that, it works ok, a ton of people ask what it is and when i tell them, they usually "People still play Pokemon Go?"
