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.

I have never been so frustrated with a “smart” watch and it’s software. I have a Fossil watch that was purchased as a gift some years back. For 4 days I have been trying to get it to connect and stay connected. I have had no such luck. I have reset the watch. I have updated the watch software. I’ve updated the software on my phone. I found a page on troubleshooting this very problem with connecting. That didn’t help unfortunately. I feel bad because I didn’t try to wear the watch sooner. It’s unfortunately out of its return policy. I would put it for sale but the buyer would only leave me a bad review because these watches and their software is absolute trash. The watch is beautiful, if you just want something to look at. I thought it was because I was using my apple iPhone. So like a fool I switched to Samsung just to be able to use this watch. To my surprise it didn’t work any better. So I took the Samsung back and went back to using my iPhone. This watch has connected and disconnected 4 times while writing this review. My daughter has a knock off snartwatch she got from TEMU and it works like a charm. What a waste. Now I have this nice looking paperweight watch.

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.
