Verdict
The Connectedevice Cookoo 2 is a decent first smartwatch for beginners, with a traditional look and months of battery life, but its tiny screen and few features hold it back.

Third-party reviews

What customers like about Connectedevice Cookoo 2

  • Exceptional battery life that lasts for months using replaceable button cells
  • Stylish, traditional analog design that appeals to those who prefer classic watches
  • Reliable water resistance up to 10 ATM (100 metres), suitable for swimming
  • Supports both Android and iOS devices
  • Dual battery system ensures the analog hands keep ticking even if the 'smart' battery dies
  • Handy remote features like camera shutter control and phone finder

What customers don't like about Connectedevice Cookoo 2

  • Tiny digital notification display that is difficult to read
  • Limited functionality compared to full smartwatches; no support for apps
  • Confusing activity tracking with basic, non-interactive graphs
  • Occasional Bluetooth connectivity issues leading to dropped pairings
  • Bulkier and heavier design than most modern smart wearables
  • Silicone strap can be uncomfortable and acts as a 'dust magnet'

Verdict

The Cookoo 2 is a hybrid smartwatch featuring a Japanese quartz movement paired with a digital icon-based notification display protected by a mineral glass lens. Rated at 10 ATM water resistance, it utilizes Bluetooth 4.0 LE to alert users to calls, emails, and social media notifications via icons and vibrations, and includes a dedicated 'Command' button for remote camera triggering or music control. Its main pros are the exceptional battery life—utilizing a standard CR2032 button cell that lasts months without charging—and its classic rugged aesthetic; however, cons include the lack of a text-based screen for reading messages and occasional connectivity stability issues with the Connected+ app.
