Wear OS by Google 17+

I’ve had my MK watch since they first launched. At the time, I had a Samsung and everything was perfect. The sync was quick, setup fine and functionality after that was perfect. I switch to iPhone and that all goes down hill. Bluetooth is dropped ALL THE TIME. Doesn’t matter the distance. As a matter of fact, I just restarted my watch, re-paired the watch with my iPhone, and it literally dropped after 15 minutes of reconnecting, updating, and getting my preferred displays back in order. The devices are literally two inches apart and they dropped connection. The watch tells me to fix the issues in the app, and the app refuses to pair with the watch. I can’t access any of the smart features because they will not pair to my phone. Oh, and when it does work (for the lucky five minutes I might get out of this useless app) it slows my watch down a significant amount. So for now, I just wear the watch when I go out without it being paired because I just don’t have the patience to deal with the uselessness of the one job the app is supposed to perform. I recall a time when I was able to listen to music from my smart watch from my phone even a great distance away. This app does not support Apple products - NOT AT ALL.

This app is completely ridiculous, my watch won’t stay connected if I leave my phone 10 ft away from me. It is excruciatingly slow and has really no features in the app that aren’t features within the watch settings. The funny part about it is, I had to reinstall Wear OS because I thought maybe that would help. But I noticed that once I had uninstalled the app, al of a sudden the watch sped up, and was functioning much more quickly. But of course you have to have the app for the watch to work. This is definitely a problem from google wear OS, and not my watch. You guys need to scrap it and rebuild from the ground up. I usually set google to a high standard with anything. This app is a joke. Since the app is so slow and nonfunctional, I had to reset to factory setting five times for it to finish setup without a crash. It spent me the whole day. And I believe that is ridiculous- it should’ve been able to set up and get working at an hour TOPS. Can we know if this is getting resolved ever so we can get functions watches, or should we all just say enough is enough and get a watch that has an actually functional OS?

I just bought a Movado conect 2.0 In Rose gold and downloaded the wear OS app. At first, I was a little disappointed when I read the reviews that you couldn’t get messages or calls if you had an iPhone but I love Movado watches and I wasn’t going to return it. At first, I wasn’t able to get text or calls but after syncing my email account I was able to get all my contacts, text messages on my watch as well as calls. I don’t know if I’m the only one experiencing this; but I’m able to read all texts on my watch as well as take the calls on my watch. I can talk and they can hear me but I can’t hear them on my watch but I didn’t buy the watch to talk to people for that I have my phone. I’m happy with just been able to read the texts on my watch and been able to see who’s calling me before I pick up my phone. I have no problems with connectivity so far, my watch has stayed connected the whole time and I get all my emails and calendars appointments. I can track my heart rate and steps as well as calories. I love this watch. So far no problems.
