Datel GO-TCHA Classic For Pokemon GO - Iphone/Android (Android)

Where to start with this thing…first off:BATTERY LIFE. Or lack there of. The battery only lasts around 2 hours. So if you are planning to use it on a day out, while in work, while driving, etc, don’t expect much game play time as it is fully drained before a standard film has even finished. It can’t even complete half of community day. The original Go-tcha lasts several days before needing charged.THE CHARGER. The charging design is terrible. This Go-tcha has two small prongs that magnetise into two tiny holes on the Go-tcha. It is so flimsy that one small knock and it stops charging. The original Go-tcha would slide into its charger, so it was secure.DISCONNECTING FAULT: Normally the standard connection time of a Go-tcha or Go Plus is an hour. This Classic Go-tcha disconnects sometimes after only 5 minutes of connection, then other times it behaves and stays connected.THE STRAP. The strap is not child friendly. I am a female adult and the strap is too large for my wrist, so a kid (the targeted audience) would not be able to wear it without it falling off. The strap also feels cheap and thin.REMOVAL FROM STRAP: Again, not child friendly. I find it very difficult to get it out of the strap. It is secure in the strap, but too secure as your really have to put force into getting it out.TOO BULKY. The original Go-tcha is much smaller. (Shown in my picture). This Classic Go-tcha is too bulky on the wrist or to be placed onto a keyring and then onto your keys as I do. It’s almost double the size of the original.FAULT IN SCREEN: When it starts up, the whole screen flashes black and white, like white noise/static on an old television. (Shown in my picture).DAMAGED: I think mine was preowned has the back is damaged and lifting. (Shown in picture).VIBRATION FAULT: I have the vibration turned off, but it still vibrates. It seems to randomly vibrate (sometimes, not every time) when I touch it, lift it or set it down. So if you want it to be silent, it is not at all, as it is a loud aggressive vibration that won’t turn off.THE PRICE: The price is ridiculous for the standard it gives. The original Go-tcha is worth the price, and it goes the distance in all ways. This Classic Go-tcha can’t even last a standard evening walk.OVER ALL: A complete disappointment that I won’t be using.

Great product disconnects too fast sometimes but easily solved

I’ve used these for years and never had any real problems with them but the latest version, in spite of boasting a colour display and a battery meter, is a significant downgrade on the older model.The battery life is less than half what the old one gives (I have one of each at present) and it seems to run out quite abruptly in spite of the warning meter.When the battery runs out, it’s nearly impossible to position the short wire in such a way that the weak magnet in the charge cable will actually keep the device on the charger and if you set it down whilst charging more than half the time the charger turns about a millimetre and the device disconnects so you leave it charging and come back to find that the battery is still empty because the charger has disconnected. It’s also possible to put it on the charger upside down so it won’t charge at all. The old slide-in charger design wasn’t perfect but it did at least work above 50% of the time.I use it with the vibrate feature turned off but the screen is really sensitive so if you even brush against the device lightly or it touches anything (like your sleeve or a desk or something - real risks if worn on the wrist but worse if you have a fob-type holder) then it turns itself on with a loud and violent vibrate which apparently drains the battery.So to summarise, it won’t charge properly, even from full the battery only lasts about 4 hours on a good day, and it’s noisy and intrusive.The old one was so nice. I would quite happily have just bought another.

Different to others I've had. The black band is more subtle which is nice, this is lucky as I don't think this one can be removed like others. VERY fiddly to charge and disconnects if any of your storage is full, which is very annoying.

This is one of the worst things I've ever bought1. incredible difficult to charge, has to be right in a specific position and then it falls out every time (why not make it so it has to be plugged in?)2. constantly looses connection and needs to re-paired (sometimes several times a minute)3. Will NOT work unless it is absolutely fully charged, will refuse to connect otherwise

I had unfortunately lost my original gotcha and purchased this to replace that and if you - like me, are purchasing this product with the expectation that it is similar to the original GO-TCHA, don't be fooled. The original one is much better quality and lasts 2-3 days longer. You can use this product for at most one day and the battery will be drained. Secondly, it will disconnect every 15-20 minutes making it very annoying while you are on a longer walk or just have it on whilst doing other things. The charger for this one as well is horrible, it is magnetic to connect and charge but the magnet is not strong enough and if you don't have the device propped up properly it simply will not charge. Those are my main complaints. The only redeemable quality of this device is that the screen is larger and in colour apposed to the original device. I would consider looking into other auto catchers before purchasing this one.

Works better than any other gottya I've had. Looks better, easy to set up.

The go-tcha is great when it's charged getting it to charge properly is a ball ache... the battery only lasts a day but for me this isn't a problem as I charge it with my other devices over night. If the charger isn't connected properly you get a very aggressive vibration which I can hear from another room which is also very annoying... HMU if a better charging solution is found....

Se supone que tiene la función de auto cachar todos los pokemones en el camino pero solo recoge unos cuantos

Where to start with the battery life or the connection issues constantly connection issues disconnected constantly or would think connected but won't be catching anything therefore the battery also went completely in about 2 hours it was dead doesn't even work even close to the old model certain things are nice having color and and just looks really nice but it doesn't work or really anything don't waste your money get the old one or something else

Das Armband macht was es soll- Pokemon unterwegs alleine fangen... Aber das Laden ist mehr als eine Katastrophe: Der Magnet hält kaum am Armband, sodass gar nicht bis wenig geladen wird. So wird das Armband unbrauchbar. Kontaktaufnahme mit dem Verkäufer nicht möglich- keine Rückmeldung... Schade drum...

Tengo una de cada de la Go-Tcha original, la Go-Tcha Evolve y esa Go-Tcha Classic. La Classic es la peor de todas, y con diferencia.* Bateria: La original aun aguanta una semana o mas con uso medio de 2h al dia minimo. La Evolve aguanta un par de dias como mucho, pero la Classic a veces no llega ni a acabar el dia. Para un Community Day entero, ni en broma.* Conexion: Conectadas al mismo movil, la Classic es la que mas desconexiones tiene. No sé porque, pero es molesto.Hecho de menos la original. Con su pantalla sin color y bateria que sigue durando dias y dias despues de años de uso.... pensaba que esa Classic seria muy parecida... pero no.

4h d'autonomie.Obligé de redémarrer le smartphone à chaque utilisation pour la trouver.Grip magnétique non fiable.À quand le premier modèle sans amélioration ?!
