Starfield Watch

Love the watch but it constantly messes up. Doesn’t show the right time, steps or save my preferences. Have to do a reboot almost every day.

No one has that dumb watch just let us use the app on a smart watch or just give us a similar app to fall out 4’s pip boy app

I’ve been using my watch since it was released. It looks great and functions nicely. Although it’s rather basic for a supposed “smartwatch” it still impresses me. My issue is mostly with the app and its connection to the watch. Even though I have it paired to my iPhone, it seems I have to periodically “reconnect” or “update” the connection throughout the day. There are times if I check the weather feature that it has changed from Fahrenheit to Celsius, (I prefer Fahrenheit). I then have to update the located and connection again to make it switch back. And yes, I’ve check the settings in the app and it shows that I’ve selected Fahrenheit. Additionally I’ve noticed my watch gaining or losing time throughout the day. Some days it stay right on time. Other days it may be as fast as 10 seconds to 1 hour or slow just as much. When I notice something isn’t right, I have to open the app, (and mind you, I don’t fully close it, it’s always running in the background), I have to go to the second page in the app and select “set time on watch” to get it to correct the time. Developers, you seriously need to get an update out that fixes these crazy issues. As it is now, I cannot rely on my “Chronomark” to give me the correct time.

The app does not work when pairing the watch to your phone. Bethesda has been unresponsive to the issue despite several tickets and follow up. There are numerous Reddit threads chronicling the issue.

Doesn’t connect even when fully powered, plugged in, settings reset, soft reset, just very unresponsive.

A glitchy buggy crash filled mess

I have reset this watch to factory settings more times than I’ve ever reset a device in my life. The software is VERY buggy. This is just ridiculous at this point. I would be happy if all this watch did was tell time, but it doesn’t even do that consistently. It’s change timezones or switch to 24 hour time, or just be wrong in general. Resetting and resetting to factory now does not help at all. It ignores all settings from the app. Please fix this software! I am about to start bugging Bethesda for a refund. I love the game but this watch is a joke—at least on iOS. UPDATE 10/10/23: I have everything working after re-pairing it a couple more times EXCEPT for weather and haptics. My watch is not vibrating and I’ve turned the feature off and back on again in the app and still no luck. I have yet to do the manual firmware update that I mention below. Still would rather see an official update. UPDATE: Just saw some folks on Reddit talking about a firmware update that is fixing some folks issues but you need to download a separate app to upload the firmware manually and follow specific instructions. Any chance the devs can just give us another official app update with this new firmware included? Once this watch is doing all the things that have been promised it will do I will happily up this review to 5 stars! MY ORIGINAL REVIEW: I made the mistake of updating the firmware and a bunch of the coolest settings on the Chronomark are gone. Really wanted to tweak the settings to create my own gesture to turn on the watch face. Regardless, on iOS, this app has been buggy as heck. Sometimes it doesn’t want to pair the watch, sometimes it does but doesn’t stay connected. When it does stay connected it might stay connected for 10 or 12 hours but then drops again. On the rare occasion, when all the features work, it’s really great. Right now my watch is paired but the app can’t turn on notifications or music control. I’ll flip the toggles in this app but as soon as I look away they flip back. Also the Weather app on the watch keeps saying that there is no weather data. None of these problems exist when I pair it to my 1st gen Surface Duo, ironically enough. But my Duo isn’t my primary phone. I hope you can update this app and the firmware asap! I love this thing but it just isn’t worth anything close to what we paid for it currently.

I have been wearing this watch pretty regularly since release and I haven’t gone a single day of putting it on where I haven’t had some issue. The most common problem is it just seems to freeze while charging. I have to reset it pretty much every time I put it on. It’s sounds like a small gripe but honestly you’d expect your watch to just work, especially for something you want to wear daily. My other biggest gripe is that the weather functionality is buggy. Most times I have to go into the app to force the weather data onto the watch (which defeats the point, if I already have my phone out I can just check it there). Worse though, it’s buggy when it comes to Fahrenheit / Celsius. I use F but i can’t seem to get it to display the temp in F properly. Either it just displays C, or it displays the “F” text but is clearly using the data for C (so it’s just wrong). I really hope the don’t just stop updates for this thing because I paid good money for it and as of now it’s failing to deliver both on expectations of basic functionality and extended features.

@bethesda, please fix the issues with this watch. i cant connect it to the app or my phone. even worse my wife feels horrible since she purchased this insanely expensive paperweight as a gift for me.

Weather update needs work. Here in America we go by Fahrenheit, and once checked to use it, only lasts one day. A person has to manually update weather inside this app for it to work. Otherwise it only shows the days from your last manual update. I have to go into this app daily to switch the /Fahrenheit-Celsius daily to keep the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit. For $300 of Constellation, and a boring game, not much effort is put into the code of a simple smartwatch. DO BETTER for your customers!!!! I am only an amateur coder and could do better than this!
