User Reviews

Users frequently praise its ability to sync a range of watches quickly and affordably, with many reporting first-time success. However, performance can be inconsistent, and success often depends on careful device alignment and signal strength, making it unreliable in some locations. Overall, it’s a valuable tool when it works.
Pros
  • Works across many watch models (Casio, G‑Shock, Citizen, etc.)
  • Quick to sync (often takes only a few minutes, sometimes first-time success)
  • Good value for money (worth the $2)
  • Easy to use with simple instructions
  • Helps in areas with weak radio reception or poor signal where manual syncing is difficult
Cons
  • Inconsistent performance; sometimes doesn’t work or fails to sync
  • Requires careful alignment/positioning; success depends on placement of the watch and phone
  • Signal reception varies by location; in weak-signal areas it can be hit-or-miss
  • Some users report it doesn’t work or stops functioning (possible updates/compatibility issues)

I tried various combinations of the settings, but none of them resulted in anything but the Japanese local time being set. In other words, the app is not able to instruct the watch to set its time (not to mention day and date) to the local time of the app.

I was thinking twice about whether it would work for my g shock 3495 module square with a phone, it just works as stated. The clean simple UI / app is a great addition to my watch, definitely worth $2. Keeping watch on the phone or iPad over the loudest speaker (you can do hearing test to see where it is loudest), and then letting watch sit on it does the job in 3-4mins.
