@@Blade-Thing I've been looking around online and no one seems to mention anything about it. I'm guessing software issue or it's only supposed to retain its colour for a short duration?
I wasn't able to purchase one, BUT I SWEAR THEY SAID IT WOULD PAIR WITH THE GAME! I am trying to find a video of someone having paired it with their game, but this is the first video where people have recently said it currently does not pair with the game. What a bummer. This is the perfect game for me, and the watch is sooo cool.
What kills it for me is the lack of touchscreen. I am so used to working quick with a touchscreen (especially when sending messages) that this almost seems archaic to me. I'm a huge fan of physical buttons but It seems clunky to have to go through all that to see your texts. Beautiful watch though.
I hear you, but then again the watch is at most a $100-$150. It's a cool collectors watch. I honestly think that Bethesda should team up with Garmin for a much more expensive true smart watch.
@@circuitscore and when you work in factory, sometimes you have to remove gauntlets if you want to use your smartphone... so better have physical buttons to use this watch with space suit :D
Yeah, I also noticed it needs to be running in the background for it to stay connected. They really need persistent notification so we can make sure it's still running.
Are u getting this issue, mine is stuck on Finishing pairing and below it says Paired with Chronomark 4b48 but I cannot adjust any settings. Means its still not paired fully. edit: NVM I was an idiot and tried to pair without the app first. It works now!! Hope they add more functions for newer updates.
The weather is working as of now. For me the only thing I don't understand is a " notifications " feature. It just shows that ther " is a notification" and you cant read it.
Not on the main screen. It just shows an icon but if I go to the notification section, I can read all of them there. It also pops up on mine when it comes in on mine.
@circuitscore I just discovered the truth behind " no possibility to see the text." It ONLY ( exclusively) understands English. If text is in any other language that doesn't use Standard English symbols, then it CAN'T be displayed.
How do you call someone cause it tells me i can pick up the call and decline the call but when i pick it up it just doesnt pick it up and goes to home screen
You cannot call someone directly from the watch. If someone calls you however you can answer the call by hitting the top right button and end the call with the bottom right button. Keep in mind that you cannot speak through the watch as it doesn't have microphone. It will just answer the call on the phone itself.
If you go to the FAQ page it says weather is coming later. "Weather features will not be supported at launch. Phone connectivity limited. The Starfield Chronomark watch does not transmit phone calls, does not support cellular service and is not a touch screen device."
When I got my watch it worked perfectly fine out the box but then It wanted a fireware pdate and after doing that It no longer has bluetooth as a setting in the watch and it no longer pair to my phone. contacted bethesda Support but got the generic response of have you charged it fully, have you try soft and hard resetting which nothing has worked. Hoping someone knows a fix but any insight would be lovely. Its a real shame that its nolonger wanting to pair and that certain settings like bluetooth that was on the watch are no longer there.
Hey so finally got around to testing this with my work iPhone. In the app I had to hit pair, then confirm on the watch itself hitting the top right button, and then back on the iPhone hit allow to get it to pair.
Maybe check the weather settings in your iPhone settings menu. or the Constellation watch app in the iPhone settings, there might be a weather setting.
Or maybe have the weather app open on your phone, then check the watch? I know fitbits need Spotify open to access the app on the watch, iPhones are always so tricky
I've had this problem too, it's nothing to do with the phone's settings. I sent a ticket to Bethesda Support too and they just echo the same thing. "Turn on the weather settings through the app." So... Yeah. Not sure why it doesn't work but it is a recurring issue.
Don’t update the firmware it will brick your watch! I did it and it removed Bluetooth and whitelisting option in settings. I’ve contacted Bethesda customer support but they haven’t gotten back to me about replace it for refunding me yet.
@@talos2384 that's no good. Sorry to hear that. I've heard of a few people that this happened to on that firmware version. My watch was on the same update in this video. It has since been updated a second time to activate the weather app.
This looks like the kind of thing youd wear for 2 days then realise how much trouble it is for its limited functionslity and put it back in the box forever
If someone with a big heart does not want their watch or has an extra one that they want to donate, I am willing to accept it with all the love in the world.
The $299 price tag is way too high, the problem with this thing is the fact that the collector edition comes with that nice box, the steelcase with the key with the game code, the watch and all that add up the price. They are trying to cut spends giving the game on a digital format. Technically they're giving you a the rights to use the game and $300 dollars toy. I have the game on gamepass and the premium upgrade that's all I need, my constellation edition will be for sale soon or I'll keep it sealed for a couple years till gains value, the only problem with that is the watch battery won't last forever and the digital code of the game may expire. In the worst scenario I'll probably return it. The premium upgrade is great because you have the first DLC, digital add ons, the steelcase and the constellation patch, not bad for less than $40. Also that "smartwatch" isn't smart at all, you can't download apps or customize the watch, the software looks old and outdated. This is the kind of item that has more collector value than functionality value. So definitely to keep for selling it in the future.
At least they provide a functional device and crazy nice case. Much better than the cardboard cutout props that most collectors editions come with. 300 is a pretty high price tag but in the landscape of other collector edition bundles this one provides much more value IMO.
Whole Starfield theme of these watches and app is nice, but the watch screen quality looks like in those "Aliexpress-like" watches, no? I know they don't cost same as Apple or Samsung watches, but still...
Dumbest 320 dollars ive ever spent. I really thought that this watch was gonna be like the pip boy and connect to the game. Im a Gshock collector and wont even pay the 300 for the Gshock i really want. Idk why i thought this was gonna connect to the game. The watch is ugly af too. Im gonna sell it on ebay.
Also disappointed so far it doesn't have any functionality in game. Maybe in a future firmware update this will change. Personally I think it's a slick looking watch.
@@circuitscore yeah I retract my statement about it being ugly. I have been wearing it for the past couple days and it's kinda grown on me. Still with that being said I don't think it's worth the price point, because of the lack of in-game capabilities and other features.
I’m curious as to how it performs in game. I haven’t seen any posts on that.
The watch has no connection to the game :/
@@1543glkp Oh. I thought they said the watch was supposed to interact with whatever planet you were on in the game.
Yeah I swear during the reveal of the constellation edition they mentioned in game functionality too.
Apparently the weather is an upcoming addition to the app that they're still workin on. (Though I can't find the post anymore so I'm not sure)
So is there a stated plan that it will have in game features?
At this point, unfortunatly there is no connection to the game
Nothing as of now. I swear they mentioned it when the special edition was announced.
How to connect it with the game to get planet specific HUD details?
So far the watch doesn't connect to the game unfortunately.
To enable the weather app, hold on the apps icon, press settings, permissions, enable access to GPS & maps.
Thank you!
After installing & updating, the original colored screen logo, bluetooth setting and locale disappeaered.
So yours went all grey too! Odd!
@@rad121 yes. So it does happen. I thought i was the only 1. You send yours back?
@@Blade-Thing I've been looking around online and no one seems to mention anything about it. I'm guessing software issue or it's only supposed to retain its colour for a short duration?
@@rad121 software most probably.
@@rad121 did your option for bluetooth also went missing?
Would be cool if they could link the watch to the game, maybe just stats but still cool nonetheless. Still nothing as of a few days after release
Yeah I'm pretty bummed it can't connect to the game. Maybe we will see a firmware update soon. It is still a pretty cool watch overall.
no one talked about the firmware that brick the watch? removing bluetooth feature : 2v18.2174
Mine did not have this issue. Firmware has updated twice now. Currently on 2v18.2180 which enables the weather app function.
I wasn't able to purchase one, BUT I SWEAR THEY SAID IT WOULD PAIR WITH THE GAME! I am trying to find a video of someone having paired it with their game, but this is the first video where people have recently said it currently does not pair with the game. What a bummer.

Dude me too!! I swear I saw that in their announcement video. Did you ever find the video?
The game will likely work with the watch in future updates
What kills it for me is the lack of touchscreen. I am so used to working quick with a touchscreen (especially when sending messages) that this almost seems archaic to me. I'm a huge fan of physical buttons but It seems clunky to have to go through all that to see your texts. Beautiful watch though.
I hate touchscreens because my fingers always leave prints XD
I hear you, but then again the watch is at most a $100-$150. It's a cool collectors watch. I honestly think that Bethesda should team up with Garmin for a much more expensive true smart watch.
At first I felt the same way about not having a touchscreen but I really started to like the physical button controls.
@@circuitscore and when you work in factory, sometimes you have to remove gauntlets if you want to use your smartphone...
so better have physical buttons to use this watch with space suit :D
Garmins are like 600€ but they have physical buttons because the majority of the people find physical buttons comfortable
Yo thanks man for the help got a new subscriber 😊
No problem. Appreciate the sub!
Do you have to keep the app open in order to have the watch connected? If I close the app mine disconnects from the phone
Yeah, I also noticed it needs to be running in the background for it to stay connected. They really need persistent notification so we can make sure it's still running.
My watch is not activating on tab or on motion. Is your watch working. I tried everything
Yeah tap and motion work here. Might have to contact customer service.
what is the sice of the case?
I'm having trouble connecting the watch to my phone, i need some help
Are you on an iPhone with IOS 17 by any chance?
@@RDR2Jammy1337 nope Android
Are u getting this issue, mine is stuck on Finishing pairing and below it says Paired with Chronomark 4b48 but I cannot adjust any settings. Means its still not paired fully.

You have to pair it with the app not in the bluetooth settings.
@@circuitscore I did

I had another person mention the same thing. That is a HUGE oversight on Bethesda part. They need to update this watch for other languages.
Is it waterproof?
I've read its splash resistant, but I don't think it can be submerged. I take it off in the shower.
@@circuitscore thanks 👍
How do you call someone cause it tells me i can pick up the call and decline the call but when i pick it up it just doesnt pick it up and goes to home screen

Keep in mind that you cannot speak through the watch as it doesn't have microphone. It will just answer the call on the phone itself.
Maybe you gotta give the app permission to use weather data like on an iPhone, also how’s the battery life on it?
Possibly a permission problem. I will check it out.
If you go to the FAQ page it says weather is coming later. "Weather features will not be supported at launch. Phone connectivity limited. The Starfield Chronomark watch does not transmit phone calls, does not support cellular service and is not a touch screen device."

Hoping someone knows a fix but any insight would be lovely. Its a real shame that its nolonger wanting to pair and that certain settings like bluetooth that was on the watch are no longer there.
With mine it will only pair in the companion app and sometimes I need to reconnect it if the app closes.
How do you charge the watch?
Wireless charger it brings it with the watch.
It comes with a USB A to a Micro USB cable that connects to a wireless charging puck.
Connected mine to phone and firmware update now won’t let me connect to phone at all
Did you ever get it working? Mine the firmware update took forever.
Mine won’t pair with my iPhone
Hey so finally got around to testing this with my work iPhone. In the app I had to hit pair, then confirm on the watch itself hitting the top right button, and then back on the iPhone hit allow to get it to pair.
did anyone else’s brick? i think it happened to mine after updating the software. it won’t turn on at all & the FAQ hardware resets don’t do anything
It comes with little to no charge so don't be surprised if it turns off after a few mins then needs a full charge
@@RH3D it’s been charging for a couple of hours now
Sorry to hear that. Did you ever get it working?
Maybe check the weather settings in your iPhone settings menu. or the Constellation watch app in the iPhone settings, there might be a weather setting.
Or maybe have the weather app open on your phone, then check the watch? I know fitbits need Spotify open to access the app on the watch, iPhones are always so tricky
@@buttkissery2k yeah, iPhones are tricky, luckily he's using a Pixel ;)

"Turn on the weather settings through the app."
So... Yeah. Not sure why it doesn't work but it is a recurring issue.
So another commenter mentioned that the weather app is not available yet. Not sure what the hold up is but it should be available in a future update.
The Weather App will be patched in at a later date.
Yeah that's what I was reading as well. It's just interesting such a simple feature is taking so long to implement.
Don’t update the firmware it will brick your watch! I did it and it removed Bluetooth and whitelisting option in settings. I’ve contacted Bethesda customer support but they haven’t gotten back to me about replace it for refunding me yet.
Shoot I just updated mine, but mine says music control not ready when I try and use that feature.
@talos2384 what firmware version do you have?
@@circuitscore it was the initial firmware update when I first unboxed it.
@@talos2384 that's no good. Sorry to hear that. I've heard of a few people that this happened to on that firmware version. My watch was on the same update in this video. It has since been updated a second time to activate the weather app.

Nailed it! 😂 I also do some casual game collecting on the side. It looks really nice in my display case haha.
I was going to buy this but it does not work with the game and then its not worth it.
Yeah so far no functionality in game. It's for sure a let down.
After two days the watch is lost the connection with the cellphone, no more bluethoot option, now i have a crap, simple watch...
Try to power cycle and repair it in the app.
Really dissapointed in the lack of functions... My Garmin instinct makes this thing look like a kids toy... Cool to have as a display I guess lol😂
It is pretty limited overall. The space sensors are pretty cool though.
Maybe I should find an app/skin for my actual smartwatch instead?
If someone with a big heart does not want their watch or has an extra one that they want to donate, I am willing to accept it with all the love in the world.
Man. Weather functionally doesn't work? That's kind of disappointing
I don't understand why it would take them so long to implement weather. Its apparently coming in a later update.

Not touchscreen? For the price.. not really worth it
It is more of a collectors item so not surprised by the price but yeah a touchscreen would have been cool.
Already 600$ US on Amazon......😮
Yep I got it when it first went live. I knew this was gonna be sold out.
Still available on gamestops website so
@@fuentesjuanjose90 theres a shop here in Sweden, theres 6 left of theese versions :) i bought one 1 hour ago :)
No one is paying $600 for this. The Constellation Edition is only being snagged on eBay for between $375 - 420.
317USD here in sweden :) so not 600 hehe@@nerdloftgaming
I just want the game , but it’s not a physical edition , so I wouldn’t bother with it.
It's a fair complaint for sure. They really should have included a physical copy with a collectors edition.
I’m waiting for Ali express to drop a knock off.
Nice. Can't go wrong with Ali Express. Actually, scratch that. It def could go wrong 😂
Man this watch sucks ass. It was paired now unpaired and wont pair up anymore.
Yeah it was cool at first but it now live on a display as a collectors item.
