Go-tcha Evolve LED-Touch Wristband Watch for Pokemon Go with Auto Catch and Auto Spin - Black/Red

We lost this a year ago before a birthday and found it a while later. The kids stopped playing the game, so I figured I'd use it on my walks with my wife.This thing is both stupid and awesome. Removing the band to use the charger makes me think I'm going to break it every time. I haven't yet, so it's durable, but you have to pull hard and at an angle.Plugging it into the charger is tricky, because it wiggles around, but you figure it out.Using the interface is simple and stupid. Only one side of the screen recognizes touch, so even if the UI shows a checkbox on the other side, only the one side will care if you're touching it. You have to touch and hold to get to the settings page (versus just a touch to turn it on). When on the setting page, you need to tap on each screen to move to the next screen, or press and hold to toggle the setting on or off. This isn't really intuitive at first, and you aren't sure what you are turning on or off.You want vibration off, as it is noisy. You want to turn on spinning the stops, catching pokemon, and catching new pokemon. It's not easy connecting to the phone at first (or obvious), but once you do it once it works well afterwards. Wearing the device is a bit of a pain if you want to cross your arms, and you frequently can start up the settings, and turn off various settings, because the touch sensor is so sensitive.All this sounds like criticism, but the fact is that it is a simple device that gives you the option to spin stops and catch pokemon when you're not paying attention. That's cool and useful. It's allowed me to catch a ton of stuff, and collect a lot of items, when I'd otherwise be distracted.THAT BEING SAID, it's important to know what it actually does. Every few seconds, it will try to do about 3 actions. Whether those actions are successful or not, it doesn't matter. There is a pause, and then a few more actions. I share this because if you're walking through a park, you may not spin every stop and clear every pokemon, because you'll be out of range before it has time to rotate through everything. If there are no pokemon, you'll spin stops easily and quickly. If there are pokemon, it tries to catch those first before the stops, so spinning those can be your job while it tries to catch the pokemon.It ONLY uses your regular balls, and stops trying when you're out. It will try to spin stops, but obviously stops when your bag is full. I've ended up with a ton of blue and black balls and zero red ones...making the device a bit worthless until I restock, but at least it helps with spinning stops (and works if you drive around 25mph)The throws are with basic balls, and basic stats of catching or not. A ton of things run away. You won't catch everything...but that's okay. I open the game and find that I've picked up shinies and tons of stuff I otherwise wouldn't have caught. It only works when the game is running on your phone, but your phone screen can be off and it can be in your pocket. It is important to note that some apps will terminate the game (like Maps or your camera), so if you're using those apps, you may find you aren't catching anything.The device turns off after 30-45 minutes, even if it has power left, so you just have to reconnect it (takes maybe 10 seconds), which is fine to me.This is a good purchase. It's throttled and measured to not be too overpowered...but as long as you understand that, and how it works, it's a great investment if you enjoy the game. If nothing else, it allows you to gain the benefit of being in parks and public areas, when you're not allowed/advised to be looking at your phone and throwing pokeballs...

Love this! Catches Pokémon passively (although a lot run since it only uses regular pokeballs to catch) but but really shines for restocking items! Enjoy time with the family or at work and have it spin clumps of gyms/pokestops without you touching the phone or looking away from the family activity! Easy to use with the app, but be careful removing the wristband for charging!

Please read the updates as it's not completely useless now!!It was 2 hours of fun. Then it started getting lazy and disconnecting at random. Then the screen went dead. There are now lots of scratches on the screen, and all I can think is my Haines brand hooded sweater was scratching to the plastic. Pretty cheap if you ask me. Regardless, after I put it on the charger it connects for a while, will spin a pokestop, but doesn't auto catch. The screen still does not display anything. The Application no longer connects to the device. It appears to already be problematic and dying.$50 for 2 hours of fun, and then hours of troubleshooting, missed Pokémon, and Sadness. If advise you to pass on this one. Sorry, it started very well, but this was not a good experience overall.UPDATE: I got the app to work. Get this, close all apps, turn off Bluetooth, then the device magically connects to the app; with Bluetooth disabled on my Samsung Note 20 Ultra... So, that's a bit sketchy in the security department in my opinion. I apparently can touch the screen to get to settings, but I still have no display. I tried the unplug / replug 10 or more times to reset, which did nothing. I'm open to suggestions. What time is it? Who knows now. Ha, just kidding. Still having a sucky experience though, although I've improved the situation a bit. I hope this info helps someone out there.Update 2: ok, I let the battery die out completely. During that time I did have it vibrating, which it does once in a while but seems inconsistent.Then, after completely draining the battery and then fully recharging the device, I have the screen working. That said the colors are all kinds of messed up now. Please see the photos, they are trippy.It IS catching pokemon now at its expected 1-standard-ball-throw-first-time-only-low-rate, but that's not the fault of the product, that's the game itself.So, believe it or not the situation is improving, kind-of. Being able to Auto-spin poke stops while driving 20mph is a great bonus, so at least I can do that.
