Quote : "the COOKOO is essentially a little notification centre on your wrist that happens to be a nice-looking watch." "A camera tab in the Cookoo app lets you take a photo using the watch's Command button. This comes in handy when you want to take a self-portrait." |

Quote : "If you are a tech geek with a love of the ’80s and an obsession with your cellphone, you’ll go cuckoo for the Cookoo watch and free app." "So why are we crowing about it? Well, even if you are not a fanatical iPhone user, you’re bound to think this gadget is pretty neat." |

Quote : "The Cookoo looks - and functions - just like a normal watch but is linked to the smartphone in your pocket and notifies you when you have received an email or when one of your Facebook friends has updated his or her status." |

| 27 Feb 13 | Tech Hive | Quote : "Where the Cookoo differs from rival watches is with its battery – this smartwatch contains a standard CR2032 button cell battery that can be bought at stores and easily replaced by users." | |
| 27 Feb 13 | New York Times | Quote : "The Cookoo offers a bidirectional "find" feature and a low-phone-battery warning; it can also set off your phone's camera by remote control, which is great for self-portraits. There's also a weird emphasis on "dropping pins" – telling your Facebook friends where you are, for example. A standard watch battery lasts nine months, and the price is reasonable." | |

| 17 Feb 13 | Selwynuy Blog | Quote : "I personally think its worth it given the price difference to the mutewatch and the Pebble. The Pebble does give a strong consideration but it really depends. If you want a cool looking minimalist watch and consider the notifications as extra features, then the Cookoo watch is the one to get. If battery life is important to you, then cookoo is the one to get. Consider the Pebble as a viable option if you do not care much about the price, battery life and is after the e-paper display." | |

| 8 Feb 13 | Philippine Tech Blogs | Quote : "I must admit that I loved the Sony SmartWatch but I grew tired of charging it every one or two days. Reading and watching something on my watch felt nerdy on the SmartWatch, but it did not give me the satisfaction I wanted. As a matter of fact, it even came to the point that I found my watch too cumbersome. I realized that I never actually needed a nerdy watch. The Cookoo watch triggered such realization, and for the first time in my life, I finally got what I really wanted: analog and digital at the same time; elegant yet style-compatible; connected but not complicated." | |
| 6 Feb 13 | Techlicious | Quote : "If the mere thought of missing a text message makes your heart skip a beat, then the innovative COOKOO watch is for you" "The COOKOO has some worthy features, including a phone call notification feature. While you may think that's silly, considering I have my cell phone tethered to me nearly 24/7, the reality is there are plenty of times I've never heard it ring, and missed plenty of text messages until hours, even days, later." | |

| 25 Jan 13 | Macrumor | Quote : "Now the command button features are awesome. This stops me from having to pull my phone out for simple tasks. There isn't a ton of command features built in yet. Cookoo has told me there is more in the works as well as an open API for developers coming soon." | |

| 18 Jan 13 | David Loeser Youtube | Quote : "Bluetooth Smart watches are huge at CES this year...in my honest opinion, COOKOO is ... among all of them...the one that makes most sense. App is version one...it will improve as time...that's the beauty of it. I highly recommend it. I tried all five of them at CES and this is by far...the best..." | |
| 18 Jan 13 | LAPTOP magazine | Quote : "Super-long battery life; Beautiful design; Useful proximity alert" | |
| 15 Jan 13 | Coolest Gadgets | Quote : "Rather than serving as another device on which to read or interact, I would prefer something that is sort of an extension of my phone features. Cookoo proves to be a reminder device rather than a total communication device." | |
| 14 Jan 13 | NDTV Gadgets | Quote :"Smart" watches that talk to cellphones have been around for some time, but they've been hampered by their high battery drain - usually needing recharging every few days. At this week's International CES electronics trade show in Las Vegas, a startup launched a smart watch, the Cookoo, that runs for a year on a standard button cell." | |
| 14 Jan 13 | Daily Grommet | Quote :"Jules Pieri, Daily Grommet's cofounder and CEO, says the COOKOO watch appealed to her team because it solves the problem of wanting to check a smartphone during a meeting or social gathering but not wanting to appear rude or inattentive." | |

| 12 Jan 13 | Apps Gone Free | Quote :"Most importantly, the Cookoo watch doesn't need recharging and uses a standard button battery that can be easily replaced by a user" | |
| 11 Jan 13 | Laptop magazine | Quote : "the COOKOO, an analog watch that's more fashion wrist piece than high-tech gadget, might be your best choice." | |
| 11 Jan 13 | Oregon Live | Quote : "CES also saw the launch of the Pebble, a programmable smart watch with a fully digital display. Users can send different "watch faces" to it and make it perform a wider range of tricks than the Cookoo can, but it needs to be recharged every week." | |
| 11 Jan 13 | Fox 2 News at 9 | Quote : "The watch can also talk back to the phone, so you can use it as a remote release for the camera." | |

| 6 Jan 13 | Forbes | Quote : "[COOKOO] is an elegant piece of wearable tech - in that at first blush it doesn't look like tech. The smart watch's analog aesthetic is complemented by simple icons...For iOS users who embrace the idea of being constantly connected, this watch piece is quite a viable option." |
