I just got it on deal, but I updating the firmware then I try to connect to my S G not 3, but just basic watch is working. I can't do anything else with it, look like stupid expensive plastic watch for kids. crap product.
Recently changed to samsung s7 and my magellan echo watch won't connect anymore. Website isn't much help, a lot of the pages don't seem to work and i can't find anything to say of they are working on the s7 compatabilty. I now have an expensive paperweight. Gave it three stars as before this happened it was useful
The app connected to the watch them after doings it's idiotic software update for over an hour the app did nothing at all. Waste of time and money.
A complete waste of money, time and energy. With no response from the company or way forward for future fix or something. So disappointed!
All of the reviews below are accurate. Just got the watch, loaded, and then updated automatically, now the only function is the stop watch. Grrr. Web site for Magellan that is on the get started Page won't load. Very disappointed. And why aren't the company replying to these posts!!
Can't connect to the watch at all. Called company and they couldn't figure out the problem. Complete rubbish of an app and company
I just got this Echo fit as a present for Christmas. I actually requested it. Not only does the QR code not work and the set up URL is down but I install this app and it has no features! Why are stores and catalog still selling this if you're not supporting it? It's very disappointing that all my wife can do is show the time and have a stopwatch. I understand you can install apps for this watch but stand alone it's supposed to be able to do multiple things. What happened? This is very disappointing.
The watch stopped pairing with map my run. Tried reinstall. Tried other run apps. Tried other devices. Contacted magellan they said issue had been resolved. It hasn't. Totally disappointed.
to the latest version... The one that it came with is working fine so far... Only issue is battery draining - 2 coin batteries already replaced in 6 months..
Able to do just basic watch configuration. Was not able to configure any of the buttons or fitness metrics.
Magellan promise is not met..the watch is useless piece
Watch worked fine and synchronised with droid out of the box. Did the update and now they will not connect. Now it is just an expensive watch. Real shame.
I thought maybe by Dec 2016 the Echo firmware & app would be fixed. Nope. Its total garbage. Literally, "just threw it in the trash"...garbage. Won't waste my time with any Magellan products again. Trash, trash, trash. GS7.
Was ok for basic functions in 2.3.6 ... now won't connect at all, even when android giving multiple pair approvals. Please get at least the basics right? Nexus5, lollipop.
Use it for golfpad and loving it
Wasted money and time.
The app won't work. . . just keeps saying "loading"
Cannot complete connection process!
I got my echo last weekend after one update to the watch, the app doesn't load any settings options. The watch for the most part works with runkeeper but only with Google music to change songs. Great idea but needs some vast improvements to use interface and customer support, which is non existent.
Having just bought this watch and spent 1/2 the day trying to configure it for my Nexus 5- which I checked is listed as a compatible phone before buying the watch, the Bluetooth simply drops out within seconds of connecting to the Wahoo app that is recommended to use. Will not connect with Strava or other recommended fitness apps. I have not even been able to get as far as configuring the watch to the app let alone taking it for a run. Completely worthless; I have wasted my money on this watch.
Since loading the last two updates, my echo has become worthless. If you watch is currently working, do not load this update.
It was great, and simple. Everything worked flawlessly in February/March. Now its April and the stopwatch function which I use all the time, doesn't start. Please fix!
I can get as far as changing my watch backgrounds but when I want to add a profile it will not let me it freezes on the loading screen. This is crazy. We pay so much for a watch that we hope to work and it is not doing its thing!!!! Hurry up and fix the bugs in this latest update so we can use our so called smart watches!!
Phone will not pair with Echo Fit now that software has updated for utility and watch. Functionality is now useless.
Phone will pair with watch, however watch does not work. Waste of my time and money.
This is my first sports watch. I can't say much good about it really. I timed a run and saved it. Where do you see the run for future reference? I can't seem to pair it with strava. Even if I could what would be the point? I might as well just use Strava. The sleep timer is definitely inaccurate. Why is there no written instructions? The link to help is broken in the app. It's basically a watch and a pedometer oh and a alarm...
