Starfield Watch Reviews

It’s be nice if StarfieldWatch would connect to the watch easier or if they added a pairing mode on the watch rather than the plug-in and wait method, which isn’t working for me. Also, it’s be nice if they allowed you to change the watches unit of measurement using StarfieldWatch . As of now, much like Bethesda’s games, it could use some work on launch day.

If you ain’t first you’re last!

Having the most challenging time getting StarfieldWatch to recognize the watch. It’s a pretty watch but limited in functions. Having an app that pairs with the watch would be great.

It’s almost time!!!

If your downloading StarfieldWatch while not having the watch, your a real one

Would be cool if they added a stop watch/timer to the watch on one of their updates.

Paired the watch to my phone easily the first time but it disconnected and won’t reconnect, might be because the game hasn’t released yet.

Bethesda/Xbox update StarfieldWatch to use a smart watch, charge us whatever. This is a perfect time to make a few extra million dollars.

I wish this had a separate app that had a more interactive and/or more graphically feature rich menus.

I love the Starfield App. It pairs with the game and instead of checking in game 24/7 on the time in game per world it shows you on the Watch.

Got the watch and am finally ready to play. If only it linked to the game too like the pip boy

Boys this is legendary. Haven't been this excited since the early halo days or oblivion. Have fun guys.

Says it’s shipping tomorrow but you know I’m HYPED

I don’t have the Starfield Watch. I was just hoping it would pair with the Apple Watch. This would be a big seller and reach way more homes. Update when and if it’s ever supported.

The watch is nice and the game itself is fantastic. Personally just see it as a novelty but appreciate the effort BGS put into this.

I have connected and updated my watch and it’s working pretty well. I see two issues so far.
The first thing is something I am guessing will be added/updated in the next firmware update. I’m talking about the weather feature. As I scroll through the features on the watch, I see the “moon phase, notifications, sensor graphs, music control, torch, settings, and WEATHER. If I select “Weather”, I get the message: “No weather data. Enable weather in mobile app.”
However, checking the mobile app on my phone, there is absolutely no mention of weather anywhere on there. I guess that is something yet to come??? I wish the developers would at least acknowledge that in StarfieldWatch and let people know it is still in development.

The second issue is the screen timeout. I usually have mine set to timeout after 20 seconds. I also have it set to never timeout when being charged. The problem is that if a notification comes through while the watch is on the charging puck, the watch will timeout after 20 seconds and the screen goes out. I’ve seen this happen every night.
I hope the developers fix this soon.

Just let us use this on any smart watch or better yet give us an inventory management on any phone or tablet just like what was done with fallout 4 pip boy app which is what I assumed this was because this is just pointless atm

I took my watch out of its amazing case, plugged it into its little dock, got it synced with my phone.
After 20 or so minutes of messing around with it, plugged it back onto the dock.

Looked into StarfieldWatch , saw a firmware update!
Figured, maybe there are some extra features.

No, I’ve been given a firmware update to my essentially 225 dollar smartwatch that removes it’s smart capabilities by shutting off Bluetooth forever and removes the option from the settings.

Woo.

To the devs. Way to go.

Love to say I want a refund but I just want it to work. -a friendly development analyst.

Bethesda please fix the connecting problem

It doesn’t work, doesn’t connect. Did anyone in Bethesda send StarfieldWatch to QA? If they did, they need to be fired. What a crap application that doesn’t work.

I got it connected the first time good, and nothing was wrong and stalled the first firmware update about five hours. After that, Bluetooth stopped working entirely and now I can no longer reconnect, and the worst part is I followed all the steps that they provided in StarfieldWatch to troubleshoot it anything it made it worse because now it will not reconnect, no matter what Another problem with it is the weather is not released at launch, so we still do not have weather yet, or an option to change from Celsius to Fahrenheit

After downloading StarfieldWatch, I thought everything was gonna be cool but the moment I connected the watch and set it to download the update that was already ready for it to download, the update bricked the watch, disconnected it, and took all Bluetooth settings and discoverability off the watch, and made it completely unable to connect by Bluetooth!!!😡
I seriously hope that Bethesda is planning on fixing this somehow because at this point the watch is just a gigantic paperweight with no Bluetooth connect ability whatsoever being possible.
you guys really screwed the pooch on this one Bethesda time to make things, right…

Besides the issues already noted here (watch saying to use StarfieldWatch for features that don’t exist in StarfieldWatch ), the watch is very poor quality and a large number of people are finding the screen freaking out with vertical lines (like interlacing) appearing all over the display with ghost images and shaking text. Customer support says to do a factory reset and then download the firmware and install it again. However, the factory reset feature of StarfieldWatch is broken as all it does is erase your settings and reboot the watch. It does NOT restore it to the factory settings as the latest firmware is still downloaded to and installed on the watch.

need more language

The watch was working fine until the latest patch. Now anytime I change the settings, they immediately revert back to the default. It seems to be some sort of communication issue. I.E. if I change the time to “12-hour” time with StarfieldWatch , the watch screen will blink, but the time on the watch won’t actually change to “24-hour” time. If I then click on the Status tab, then return to this tab, all of the settings I have changed had reverted back to the way they were on their own. Essentially rendering all attempts to do anything utterly futile. The watch still displays the time, but none of the other functionality works. So much for a “smart” watch.

If StarfieldWatch worked alongside the watch properly, this wouldn’t be a half bad app. The problem is that the watch/app never gets beyond the “pair with phone” phase. I’ve been sitting here hitting that green check mark every 10 or so seconds for the past 15 minutes just to see if it connects. Somehow it finally connected while I was writing this.

Update it connected and gets some notifications, but StarfieldWatch doesn’t actually show it connected and dumps it into pairing mode when I launch StarfieldWatch . What a piece of junk.

I have an iPhone13 running on iOS 17 and I have tried everything from resetting the watch to trying to connect it on an iPhone using iOS 16 and all it does is get stuck in a loop that keeps asking me to click the green checkmark on the Watch for it to connect. How pathetic that you release a productwith most of its features not available on day one and I can’t use it with the game at all. What was the point of this watch pathetic

Great design, but i can’t get the watch to pair through StarfieldWatch . i get stuck in a loop of pressing the green check mark to start pairing. i enjoy the watch and the features it has, however i can’t use 90% of those features without being paired

Thank you for the update the watch works perfectly and it was worth the wait . I appreciate your time in trying to get the fixed for iOS 17 !! I’m stoked !

Downloaded thinking I was finally going to live my dream of using a Pip Boy now that I have an Apple Watch, just to realize it’s only for a Collectors Edition smartwatch. Pretty disappointed. Would love to see these features enabled for iOS watches so more players can enjoy!!!

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, StarfieldWatch 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 rate occasion, when all the features work, it’s really great. Right now my watch is paired but StarfieldWatch can’t turn on notifications or music control. I’ll flip the toggles in StarfieldWatch 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 StarfieldWatch 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 StarfieldWatch 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.

I wish this had a separate app that had a more interactive and/or more graphically feature rich menus.

Probably the most interesting and capable watches with abilities with G-reader, Pressure, and Temp. This is a watch with loaded abilities to tell more than just time. The game itself is jaw dropping with its uniqueness and beauty. Already one of my top 3 games! Thank you Bethesda!

It’s been awhile since I put the watch on, but neat to see the updates come in. However the watch does not update the temperatures correctly. It stays stuck on Celsius even though Fahrenheit is selected.

I have no complaints, the thing does even more than I expected and it looks so good. Im in move with it. Starfield is a great game! Just had a bad launch but now its so good
