Review on Movado Connect 2.0 Unisex Powered with Wear OS by Google Stainless Steel and Black Leather Smartwatch, Color: Black (Model: 3660028) by Jay Maryland

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Limited functionality with iPhone, great with Android phones

Elegant nice looking watch. The size is probably more suitable for men. But women who don't mind a big watch to give themselves a techie look will probably like this watch too. The watch connects to the iPhone via Android Wear. Calendar sync works. However, messages, notifications, etc. did not work. Unfortunately, Apple seems to be very restrictive on everything but its own Apple Watch. If you're stuck with Apple, the Apple Watch offers you the ultimate functionality. The next step was to reset the watch and pair it with my Android phone. What a world of difference! Calendar, Messages, Notifications, . everything just works. The watch responds very quickly. When the phone rings, I can see who is calling on my watch and reject the call without taking out my phone. I can check notifications, messages, etc. Great watch (expensive but you get Movado) for Android users. The watch is very responsive and the battery lasts all day with moderate use. Some battery-saving tips include turning off Wi-Fi when you don't need it and turning off auto-on when you tilt the watch face. I'm content with a light touch on the surface of the watch to turn on the display. There are very few accessories for this phone. There is no charging dock and Movado had to make that wireless charging happen. The charging adapter has nothing to offer, although it would be possible to build a simple stand for it and attach the charging head to the stand with double-sided tape.

Pros
  • Best in niche
