Go-Tcha Evolve LED-Touch Wristband Watch For Pokemon Go with Auto Catch and Auto Spin - Black/Grey

After reading alot of bad reviews, not just for this brand but for the typical product. I very nearly didn't buy this for my partner. But we are both really glad I did. It is fiddly to take the strap off to charge (a firm pull, which felt like he was going to break it) and it does need to be reconnected after about an hour. But because we were aware of these issues when buying, it was what we expected. My partner doesn't wear it as a watch but just has it in his pocket when he wants to use it. With that he also hasn't put the strap back on after charging. But it does what it is meant to do in regards to spinning stops and catching pokemon. He always drove me mad by asking me to do this for him while he was driving, now we are both happy because I don't have to 😉 and he is happy because the watch reaches pokestops that the game normally can't. Overall, a perfect buy for us. 🙂

The product is not worth the money. It broke within 3 months and the company does not respond to emails so save your money, its junk. The flimsy USB connector will break on you due to the amount of force needed to remove the wristband, even if done very carefully and at an angle as the manual states. Truly horrible design. That however isn't my problem, my problem is that it no longer charges after barely 3 months so money down the drain.

Excellent piece of kit. Well worth tracking down the accompanying app (I searched under the developer name, Datel Electronics), that enables you to download a usable watch face, rather than the teeny display that comes out of the box. Occasionally it won't connect, but this is more an issue with updates to Pokemon Go rather than this device, & it usually works fine after a few hours. The vibration is subtle, personally I like this more than the GoPlus which felt like wearing an electric shock collar. Also this seems to have a better lock on Pokestops while driving - the GoPlus would only spin stops at under 20~22mph, this happily collects at 40mph. Yes, there's an art to charging it, you need to very gently ease the strap off at a 45° angle, don't rush it, it gets there in the end. And the strap itself is quite stiff, but since the main criticism of the original Go-tcha was that it was too easy to lose, I reckon this is a definite improvement

Having seen the mixed reviews on this product I took a bit of a chance buying one.It comes if a very small package with limited instructions just a card with a QR code on it to allow you to download the app that you need to configure the device. The first thing you have to do is charge it. There is no charge cable but it has a USB connector built into the device that is covered by the strap. You have to pull the strap off gently at 45 degree angle. It is quite stiff and feels counter intuitive like you are about to break it. So far no problems though. You need to plug it into a USB socket to charge and you need to put it in the right way up (it will fit both ways). When it is the right way up it will display a charging animation on the screen.Once it is charged you need to configure it via the associated app which is easily downloaded. Run the app press the button on the front of the screen and it will pair and initially download a software update. Once this is done you can select the options that you want for the device these are; auto catch known Pokémon, auto catch unknown Pokémon, Auto spin Pokestops, enable vibrate, silent mode, enable watch face and dark theme. The app will also set the time which you can choose to display along with the number of steps you have taken.Once the device is configured you need to close down the app before opening Pokémon Go. It does not seem to like having the Gotcha app and the Pokémon Go app running at the same time. Once in the Pokémon Go app it is very simple to setup go into settings and add a Pokémon Go Plus device. It will look for and should display Pokémon Go Plus as an available device. You might be asked to press the button on the front of the screen again to initiate the connection. Once you are connected it will get to work doing what you asked it to do when you configured the device. Once it is initially setup you will get a Pokémon Go Plus icon on the main screen of the Pokémon Go app and you only need to tap this in order to connect. Please note there seems to be a parameter in the Pokémon Go App itself that requires you to re-connect Go Plus devices every hour so if you are using it for longer than an hour expect to re-connect at least once.So how does it work? Very well as soon as you connect the device sets about hoovering up any Pokémon in the vicinity and if selected it will auto spin Pokestops. The display shows when a Pokémon is nearby with a x2 logo if it is a known Pokémon and a ?? logo for unknowns. It will also show a Pokestop logo when it spins a stop and it will then tell you the number of items you have received from the stop.Be aware of the following. Firstly it only deploys standard red Pokémon balls. It will not use great or ultra balls. I would have liked to see an option to allow you to use these ball types when you run out of standard balls but I can see why they would limit this. Secondly expect if you are using this device in a well populated area expect to burn 100-200 Pokeballs per hour. So you will need to have plenty of space in your item bag and plenty of available Pokémon storage. Thirdly. It seems to prioritise catching Pokémon’s over spinning stops so If you want to use the device just for filling up your item bag I would recommend turning off the auto catch options. Even when the auto catch functionality is off it will still alert you to the presence of Pokémon’s. Finally it does seem to be very good at spinning stops whilst driving.All in all I am very satisfied with it at the moment. Time will tell if it is durable enough particularly the charge point. The pedometer function seems to be well off to me but I didn’t purchase it for this function so it doesn’t matter to me. There is room for improvement to the configuration app and the options if offers hence the 4* rating.

The product came, put it on charge for a hour and 30 minutes as it says. The product now won't turn on, it vibrates, flashes and goes off. Shocking for the price. I'm hoping the replacement won't be like it, will be requesting a refund if there's further issues.EDIT**Replacement arrived and works perfectly fine. I like the features, only thing I have to say is it does keep disconnecting after about 1hr and it only uses standard pokeballs it doesn't use great or ultra. Good product still.

i bought it on 28th June and its 6+ months i started using it. it was 22K caught when i connected it then and today it is just above 78K after 6 months.> I use it only for one purpose , for auto catch, so never ever I wore this since i purchased it. i keep it in my bag or i keep it in my drawer when started spoofing.> i never put the USB cover strap back since removed it first time. I read bad reviews about strap and decided not to use it at all. it is not a fashion accessory . lucky we have something like this so use it the way we want. They should design it as a locket or something so it will be easy to use.> battery is really good. I have used it daily since bought it and i charge it once a week. i am not sure if it changes when you carry around rather than keeping it in the drawer.> try not to use Pedometer from it, it makes you carry it all the time and wear it. Just my opinion.I would recommend this to anyone similar to my situation.
