DatelGOTCHA Generation compatible with Pokemon GO

I have owned a lot of the different versions of the gotchas, this in my opinion is the worst one. I bought 2 of these thinking the first was broken. I wanted this to work, tried it for a week. I will stick with the Evolve until they fix the issues in this model. The wrist band does not fit well and is small, reminds me of the gen one. The charging I was excited about as I am a fan of charging cords. I don't always have room to plug in my evolve into a usb port. The magnets on the cord and watch SUCK. It will become disconnected if you look them wrong. I had to use a clamp like an oversized clothespin to ensure it would charge. Even when you do get it to charge the battery life is nothing like the gen 1 or evolve, this one died in just a couple hours and I could run all day on the others. The touch screen area is very buggy. You can tap it and it will turn modes on and off or clear step counts like you're holding it down, and other times you can hold it down trying to turn modes on and off and it will switch to the next mode as if you just tapped the screen.Over all I really wanted this to work as the Evolve was a big jump up from the gen one I thought, I had hoped this one would be even better than the evolve. I am sad to say I think they took a step backwards, this thing just does NOT work, neither of the 2 I bought work and share the same issues. It just feels cheaper all the way around. I do hope they are able to come out with a version 2 of this and I'd give them another shot. All the rest of the products I've got from Datel have been great.

I must say I have noticed this works so much smoother on my iPhone but once you get it to connect to the Android it works very well there too. The charger is more accessible however if you breath on it wrong it will disconnect from the devise. The magnetic charger isnt very powerful but it does charge super fast if you can find the sweet spot of connection. Very pleased with this purchase.

Pros:Affordable.Catches Pokémon.Has an auto-catcher and auto-spinner.Offers some settings and can be configured via an app.Battery lasts at least a full day.Cons:The single-touch button interface is quite annoying to use.The touch button sometimes triggers on its own, which can accidentally disable the catcher or spinner (this happened to me multiple times—the solution is to set it up and place it somewhere it won’t touch your body).It may frequently disconnect from the Pokémon app. Sometimes, it stays stable for hours, while other times, it disconnects every minute, requiring you to keep it nearby for reconnection. Not sure what causes this issue.Build quality is bad—the screen cover started to delaminate after just a few uses.The magnetic charger is poorly designed—it’s hard to align, the magnet is weak, and the charger can fall off from just a light breeze.

The media could not be loaded. Prongs broke almost immediately after putting it on hatch does work just has to be put in pocket and checked as it can turn off spins and throws while walking

I have 2 of these and both of the watch straps broke off within a day or two. The magnetic charger is a terrible idea, it falls off so easily. One of the watches doesn’t even charge at all after a few days of use. This is just an all around terrible product. I highly recommend the Evolve, as I have 2 of those as well. I thought I’d upgrade to the newer gotcha, bad mistake! Only good thing about this product was it’s ability to catch Pokémon and Spin stops.

Some reviews complained the screen didn’t work. It’s not a touch screen, the little circle on the bottom of the watch face is where you want to press (well, the whole bottom part of the screen). Otherwise, it works great. Straps fell off about 3 weeks of constant use, but honestly It’s easier to carry with those off.

My first one arrived and it was dead. Wouldn't charge or power on. Amazon quickly replaced it. The battery life is severely disappointing. It can barely make it through a 3 hour community day and less than 24 hours for standby time. The charging cable is magnetic but the magnet is nowhere strong enough. The slightest bump disconnects it. The instruction card has a QR to scan. The website was worthless. Since then it became available through the Google play store it works better but still a POS. Having tried many different styles of auto catchers my favorite the Polemon Go Evolve 2.0.

Does not hold a charge and the way to charge it keep getting disconnected the bluetooth connects and disconnects often
