### 4/5 — Fajna

*2025-09-16, version 12.8.1*

Co trzeba, ma. Ba ma nawet więcej niż trzeba no ale stanu baterii nie ma. Smuteczek

### 3/5 — バックで作動しない

*2025-08-07, version 12.8.1*

バックで作動が、切れる

### 4/5 — Simple - two suggestions

*2025-04-21*

The watch works well and simply.   2 suggestions for improvements.  One - for IOS allow Siri Shortcut (since IFTT has blocked most useful things with a fee account)

Two - is it possible to show battery status of watch?

**Developer response:** Thank you for your review and feedback!  Your hybrid watch and its vibrations require more power to work properly than a regular watch does. Therefore would a battery measurement be very misleading. I will forward your suggestions directly to our development team for them to consider in future updates. /Kronaby team

### 3/5 — Uhr andauernd stellen

*2025-04-12, version 12.3.4*

Am Anfang war es nicht so, aber wenn ich jetzt die Uhr mal nicht unmittelbar in der Nähe des Handys habe, dann verstellt sie sich sofort.
Ich muss sie andauernd neu stellen.

Voll nervig, weil ich ja ne Uhr habe, um nicht immer aufs Handy angewiesen zu sein.

### 4/5 — Great But One Complaint

*2025-01-27*

I’ll give this 4 stars because ultimately I wanted a nice watch to track my steps that synced to my phone and allowed me to get AWAY from my phone in the evenings. This really helps me focus on my kids while keeping my step goal going in the background. A true “health” smart watch wouldn’t quite separate me from the digital world to the degree that this watch does. 

Along with that, this watch does have nice features like notifying me when specific people are trying to contact me. I find that extremely handy when I depart from my phone. And the watch itself is basic enough that I do get a feeling of being away from it all for a while when I leave my phone behind.

Now the one complaint. The watch just plumb goes every haywire now and then. Step counter gets off. The time gets off. The pushers don’t reliably do anything. It’s very odd. It’s an easy fix though. I just have to reset the watch through the app. But I would say it happens every 20 to 30 days. Besides that, the watch does everything I want it to do

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! We are glad that you are enjoying your watch!/ Kronaby team

### 5/5 — W

*2024-06-13, version 10.2.8*

It’s such a good app

### 3/5 — Alarma silenciosa

*2024-05-03, version 10.2.8*

Como casi todos los híbridos adolecen de tener una alarma silenciosa muy débil y no permite regularla

### 2/5 — “Distracted wondering if you’re connected”

*2024-04-26, version 10.2.8*

No out of range alert defies the purposed of a smartwatch.

### 4/5 — Quasi perfetto

*2024-04-12, version 10.2.8*

PRO
Orologio molto ben fatto, solido e costruito con materiali ottimi, si vede che non è un giocattolo. Esteticamente molto bello. Il prezzo vale il prodotto.
Grande scelta di modelli e dimensioni.
Tutti i modelli, anche quelli più piccoli o con meno quadranti, hanno le stesse funzioni.
Consumo batteria bassissimo.
App intuitiva.
Si interfaccia con qualsiasi app.
Consente di avere un orologio di classe ed al contempo di avere notifiche senza essere invasivo.

DA MIGLIORARE 
Per ricevere le notifiche bisogna abilitare sul telefono le anteprime dei messaggi (di qualsiasi app). Va detto che si può scegliere di abilitare le anteprime solo quando lo schermo è sbloccato, ma è comunque una limitazione.
L’app va tenuta sempre aperta in background sul telefono altrimenti si perdono alcune funzionalità.
Dovrebbe esserci un sensore che rileva quando l’orologio non è indossato in modo da non inviare inutili notifiche.

VALUTAZIONE GENERALE 
Orologio fantastico, di livello, che offre i vantaggi di uno smartwatch su un orologio di classe.
Pur con qualche piccolo dettaglio da migliorare lo coniglierei senza pensarci

### 4/5 — 履歴が残らない

*2024-01-27, version 10.0.8*

アクティビティの履歴が残らない。達成時にバイブで教えてくれるだけ。 また、加速度センサーがあるのに、睡眠モニター機能が無い。 今後に期待して星4つ。

### 1/5 — Disconnecting!

*2025-11-24, version 12.10.6*

Watch keeps on disconnecting whenever ios is updated. The app and watch does not get updated accordingly. This has happened after i have already got the watch serviced through the service centre.

### 1/5 — Time

*2025-11-07, version 12.10.6*

It’s very hard to make them show time.

### 1/5 — Good watch but support the worst

*2025-10-10, version 12.10.3*

Support is horrible. I’m in Canada so ordered through the us store. It’s just the worst and non existent support for a high end product I’ve seen. Wish I hadn’t bought now even though the watch is quite nice. It’s a digital product so support is required sometimes…

### 1/5 — Drahé baterie

*2025-09-18, version 12.8.1*

Hodinky na 100% splnily mé očekávání. Velikou slabinou je délka životnosti drahé baterie. Při  aktivním využití hodinek se musí baterie měnit 2x ročně.

### 1/5 — No se conecta al iPhone 15

*2024-08-13, version 11.0.8*

Esto no se conecta al iPhone 15 pregunto

### 1/5 — Recenze

*2024-03-20, version 10.2.3*

Naprosto nepouzitelne hodinky, cca 1x za mesic se “nejak restartuji”, prestanou ukazovat cas, prestanou fungovat funkce a musi se pres aplikaci znovu priradit funkce a cele hodinky prenastavit. Rozhodne tento vyrobek nedoporucuji.

### 1/5 — No funciona biennnn

*2024-02-25, version 10.2.2*

No funciona bien… demasiado complicado

### 1/5 — Aplikace se nenapáruje

*2024-02-12, version 10.0.8*

Několik hodin trvání spárování s aplikací.Kov je měkký jako bláto.Kožený tah je rozpadlý už po dvou týdnech používání.Špatná luminiscence hodinových ručiček.

### 1/5 — Neaktualizované funkce hodinek…

*2024-02-07, version 10.0.8*

Neaktualizované funkce hodinek… Používám hodinky Kronaby již několik let. Po celou dobu disponují stále stejnými funkcemi. (Řadu z těchto funkcí běžný uživatel nevyužije.)Pro firmu Kronaby (a hlavně pro uživatele hodinek) by bylo přínosem, pokud by v této oblasti jejich snažení došlo k nějakému pozitivnímu vývoji.

### 1/5 — I am a reader - I want a manual

*2024-02-07, version 10.0.8*

There is no manual to read. There are just either videos or smart app settings. I am a reader learner and I need something to read (no video, no audio, no tapping) to understand. :(
The watch is beautiful and comfortable and works perfectly as that, a watch. To call it a smart watch though is quite the stretch, as you can only have 2 out of the many advertised functions active and to change them you have to use an app on a separate device.

### 5/5 — A Perfect Blend of Classic Style and Smart Technology

*2026-05-27*

I’ve been wearing my Kronaby watch for several years now, and I couldn’t be happier with it. The design is elegant and timeless, giving the appearance of a classic luxury watch while quietly offering smart features in the background. I especially love how it tracks activity, sends subtle notifications, and automatically adjusts to different time zones.

What really stands out is the craftsmanship and comfort. The materials feel premium, the watch sits perfectly on the wrist, and it works seamlessly with my phone. Unlike many smartwatches that need constant charging, the Kronaby keeps going for months, which makes everyday use so much more convenient.

Overall, Kronaby strikes the perfect balance between traditional watchmaking and modern technology. Stylish, reliable, and incredibly practical, I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a smart watch that doesn’t look or feel overly “techy.”

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for your review and feedback! We are happy to hear that you like the watch / Kronaby team

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-05-24, version 12.13.0*

First of all the watch is great quality but that’s not part of the app. The app is simple but can do anything you want it to do. Calibration is easy and takes 2mins tops, you can since steps to Apple health. One tip I recommend to  join the Kronaby labs as you get a lot more features at no extra cost like opening web pages or a tally which was missing from it originally. I would like a way to turn of the find my phone when you push it for three seconds since I’ve accidentally done it once

### 5/5 — Love the watch

*2026-03-09*

I’ve had this watch for 2 years now still as beautiful as the day I got it. Extremely comfortable and goes with a lot of different outfits.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your review and feedback. We are happy to hear that you like the watch! /Kronaby team

### 5/5 — Watch

*2026-02-08, version 12.11.4*

I love this watch!

### 5/5 — Love it

*2026-01-19, version 12.11.4*

A sharp, practical and fun timepiece

### 5/5 — Honest Review

*2025-07-09*

Only thing I want is a battery at the moment. Difficult to find a battery to buy online. Also I want the same watch, but with a blue face. This is beautiful

**Developer response:** Thank you for your review. We are glad that you like the watch. Please contact your local watchmaker if you need a battery change / Kronaby Team

### 5/5 — Great watch and app

*2025-07-08, version 12.6.4*

Very clean and easy to use. I’m a huge fan and have been recommended it to everyone.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2025-02-20, version 12.2.4*

I recently discovered Kronaby watches. They are classy and beautiful. I wanted to watch that wasn’t a screen and more traditional. This is a perfect combination of traditional watch with connected features. 

The app seems super robust and has exactly what it’s needed to do. This is such a great app.

### 5/5 — Sehr komplex

*2024-12-19, version 12.0.6*

Viel zu kompliziert. Selbst die Uhrzeit lässt sich nicht richtig einstellen

### 5/5 — Fantastic App & Watch

*2024-09-02*

I’ve worn my Apex daily for around two months and absolutely love it. The app and watch work flawlessly with my iPhone, and I feel like a spy wearing it, as no one would suspect that it’s not a traditional analog watch.

For anyone who’s on the fence due to the lack of fitness/health tracking (beyond counting steps), you can always supplement your Kronaby with a smart ring.

**Developer response:** Thank you very much for your review! We are so glad to hear that you love your watch! /Kronaby team
