Reviews: What People Think About Watchla for Tesla
jginfl
Rating: 4/5
Watchla is great for using a smartwatch for Tesla tasks, like opening the trunk, when your hands are too full to reach your smartphone. BUT…it often takes too long to connect to Bluetooth, and I find myself hitting a command twice before it registers. Today, I hit “Open Trunk” twice. The trunk opened, and I leaned over to load groceries into the hatch. But suddenly the trunk lowered, with the edge of it hitting me high and hard on my forehead. So, my request of the deveioper is to ensure that a command doesn’t register twice when chosen twice in quick succession.

I have 2 Tesla’s and setup this app to connect to both of them. However, I’m having difficulty in getting the bluetooth to connect to them on a consistent basis. After adding the vehicles, the app on my watch says bluetooth is connected but when I switch to my other car, it shows disconnected, even if I’m sitting in the car. Then I can’t have it connect to either, even when I’m within the Watchla app on my watch. I tried force closing the app also. The only thing that seems to work when I can’t get bluetooth to connect is restarting my watch altogether.
Another thing is that you have to explicitly select which vehicles bluetooth you want to connect to, whereas another Watch app that I’ve tried will connect to both my cars without having to choose. Of course, I expect to have to choose which car when I want to send a command, but I don’t want to have to select a car just for unlocking purposes.

Things I like about this app:
1. The price. For what it claims to do, the price is better than the others. It’s a one-time fee and not a subscription.
2. It was relatively easy to set up.
3. It had all the features I was looking for. Other apps only do a minimal amount.
Things I don’t like about this app:
1. It takes a LONG time to connect to the car/app on phone. When trying to actually use the watch app, it rarely, if ever works in a timely manner. I hope you’re not in a hurry to get the watch app to work.
2. 90% of the time when I need to use the app, I don’t get to. Either I got tired of waiting for it to connect and just dug my phone out, or my husband came to rescue me.
3. They advertise that you can program voice commands for Siri. I have never gotten any of them to work. And I have set them up? Double checked to make sure I set them up correctly, they still didn’t work. I uninstalled the app, reinstalled it, re-setup the voice commands. Still didn't work.
Overall, I wanted this app to work as described I’m still hoping that one day it might. But right now, it’s a bit disappointing. Even on a good day when it connects in a decent amount time, it still doesn't do many of the things you need to do. Maybe one day they will update enough to fix their concerns.
