FAQ about Hardware
Why does the watch fail to turn on when charged?
The watch must be charged to be activated before first use. If it won't turn on after being off, it needs to be charged again. If over-discharge protection is activated, charge it for more than 30 minutes. Avoid using a fast-charge power supply as it can damage the internal components.
What should I do if the watch doesn't turn on after charging?
If the watch fails to turn on within a minute because of over-discharge, charge it for over 30 minutes until it turns on. For long-term over-discharge, if the watch has not been charged for an extended period after running out of power, it may not turn on due to battery issues.
Can I use a fast-charge power supply with the watch?
No, using a fast-charge power supply (9V) can cause damage to the watch's capacitor, leading to potential short circuits or PCB issues.
What are the possible causes of boot failure for the watch?
Boot failure may be due to non-waterproofing issues, short circuits, especially if exposed to water above 40°C, or falsely welded battery wires that prevent power output from the battery.
What should I do if the watch screen doesn't turn on during charging?
If the watch vibrates and the heart rate LED is flashing, it may indicate a screen failure. If there is no vibration or flashing, there may be a hardware issue. In either case, the watch should be returned for repair.
Why does the watch consume power quickly?
Rapid power consumption can be due to using a non-5V charger, loss of waterproofing, long periods without being turned on or charged, or enabling functions like all-day GPS which significantly drain the battery.

Check whether you have turned on the watch screen when searching for device on your mobile phone. Please turn on the watch screen, so that the Bluetooth of the watch will send a 60s broadcast signal and the watch will reconnect in 60s.
-
If there is no problem with the above, try to restart your mobile phone. If the connection failure persists, please use another mobile phone.
FAQ about Smart Reminder
A connection failure occurs during data synchronization. What should I do?
Data synchronization can be activated automatically when the App is started. You can also pull down the message list on the Home page of the App to activate data synchronization. If a connection failure occurs during synchronization, try the following: Turn on the watch screen and check whether the watch is still in Bluetooth connected state. Turn on the watch screen, and the watch will send a 60s broadcast signal and synchronize with the App automatically. You can also pull down the Home page of the App to synchronize with the watch. Note: If you are using an iPhone, please find the XXX device in the Bluetooth device list of your phone, click and ignore such device, then disable Bluetooth and enable it again, or restart your iPhone.
The watch fails to synchronize data with the App. Why?
The synchronization failure may result from a data error after a long time of use. You just need to repeat the synchronization operation. If the mobile phone has been used for a long time, its Bluetooth function may decline, resulting in a long duration of the synchronization process; or the Bluetooth signal of the mobile phone is interrupted during the synchronization process, resulting in synchronization failure.
After the connection between the App and watch is interrupted suddenly, my attempt to reconnect fails repeatedly. Why?
Before connecting the App to the watch for the first time, you need to enable 'Bluetooth', GPS, and WiFi on your mobile phone. The connection may be interrupted if you fail to maintain the effective distance of Bluetooth or due to other interferences. Please initiate a reconnection in the effective distance: turn on the watch screen, so that the watch will send a 30s broadcast signal and the App will reconnect automatically. The App version may also be too low. Please update the App in the App Store. If the problem persists after these operations, report the problem in the App under My Questions and Suggestions. There you can check Upload Log, describe the problem, provide your email address, and then click Submit to submit your feedback. Finally, contact our customer service and provide your email address. We will find your feedback by email address and propose a corresponding solution.
Can I connect my iPad to the watch?
You can download the iPhone edition of the App to your iPad and connect it to the watch. However, the App cannot work properly on iPad due to compatibility issues such as loss of UI and some functions. Therefore, it is not recommended to use the App on iPad.
Should I keep Bluetooth enabled on my mobile phone?
Step counting, sleep monitoring, and HR monitoring do not require connection to the App.
FAQ about HR
What factors can affect the HR measurement results?
Non-standard wearing can affect the measurement of HR signal, such as the light leakage caused by incomplete fitting. Swing of the arm, slight movement of the watch on your skin, etc, wearing too tight, raising the arm and making a fist, etc. can affect your blood circulation and thus affect the HR signal. Correct measuring method lay the arm flat, relax and stay still, and hold the watch against the arm. Note individual differences such as skin color, hair, tattoos and scars can also affect the HR signal, despite correct wearing of the watch.
How can I measure the HR value correctly?
Hold the light-emitting part of the watch against the skin muscle to ensure that the watch will not shift a lot during your exercise tighten the watch strap to achieve a comfortable tightness. Excessive or insufficient tightness can affect the measurement results avoid light leakage and shift of the reflected light. Do not hold the light-emitting part of the watch against the protruding bones radius and ulna on the wrist side, or the watch may fail to correctly receive the red light reflected by blood vessels, which will affect the measurement results. To obtain a more accurate HR value, you can wear the watch on your wrist.
The back of the watch glows green automatically. Why?
Design philosophy the light transmittance of the blood is changed by the pulse, and then converted into electrical signals by simple light reflection, which will be recorded; our blood is red and can absorb the green light to the maximum extent; the final data after reflection is the most accurate, so we use green LED as the HR measurement tool. If you enable automatic HR monitoring, your HR will be measured every 5min. You can also enable manual HR measurement. During the measurement, the HR LED will automatically flash and emit green light.
FAQ about Sleep
No sleep data is recorded, or the sleep data is inaccurate. Why?
Check whether you wear the watch before going to bed. If no, the App will not generate sleep data after synchronizing with the watch. Your sleep quality can be a reason. If you have trouble falling asleep, the App may not generate sleep data. You can take some measures to help sleep, for example, doing some exercise, drinking a glass of milk, relaxing your body and not playing with your mobile phone. Please wear the watch correctly (in case of insufficient tightness, there is a certain probability of failure to detect the watch). The sleep algorithm only records sleep that lasts for more than 3h. If you get up frequently, the App may not generate sleep data. You are recommended to arrange your sleep time reasonably and drink less water before going to bed. The watch will adapt to the individual situation of each user. You can wear it for several days for observation purpose. If your skin is rather dark, the App will be very likely to fail in detecting the watch, and thus will not generate sleep data.
FAQ about Step Counting
The number of my steps is not accurate. Why?
At the first time, you must provide your gender, age, height and weight and other information honestly and accurately. Inaccurate information will affect the algorithm of the acceleration sensor, resulting in inaccurate exercise data (steps, distance and calories). Your steps are calculated based on three- dimensional acceleration data, so the wearing condition of the watch also has a certain influence on the accuracy of the results. Make sure that the watch will not move left and right, up and down in the wearing position during your exercise. Your arm swing posture, stride length, body shape, uphill and downhill, as well as the smoothness of the road surface, can also affect the value of steps. If your body moves during sleep (turning to another side, getting up and falling asleep again, etc.), if you are in the car or driving the car, or if the road surface is rough, new steps may be generated.
New steps are generated when I wake up from sleep, or when I am in the car or driving the car. Why?
The shaking and displacement of your hand. The watch is equipped with a built- in relatively high-precision acceleration sensor. The displacement of the watch in space can be detected by the integrating accelerometer so as to determine whether new steps are generated. If your body moves during sleep turning to another side, getting up and falling asleep again, etc.), if you are in the car or driving the car, or if the road surface is rough, there will be a certain probability of misjudgment by the sensor. We are optimizing the anti-interference algorithm currently, and will control the misjudgment rate to acceptable to users subsequently.
No new steps are generated on the watch after I walk 5 steps. Why?
The step counting algorithm has been optimized into an intelligent anti- interference mode. If you wear the watch and walk 10 consecutive steps in the absence of irregular movement, the watch will record your new steps. If there is irregular movement within 10 steps, the watch will recalculate your steps.
How many steps can be displayed on the watch?
Up to 99,999 steps can be displayed on the watch. If the number of your steps exceeds 100,000, you will need to view it in the App.
The number of steps displayed on the watch is different from that displayed in Apple Health. Why?
The number of steps displayed in Apple Health is calculated based on the steps data uploaded from multiple data sources Apps using the unique algorithm of Apple Health platform, instead of displaying the steps data uploaded from our App directly. You are recommended to set our App as the first data source. However, we still cannot guarantee a 100% consistency between the number of steps displayed in our App and in Apple Health.
How does the watch determine my walking distance?
Your walking distance is calculated based on your height, exercise intensity, stride length and stride frequency using the built-in step counting algorithm
How does the watch calculate my calories? How will my height and weight information affect my calories?
Steps directly related to your stride lengthset your height, and calculate your stride length using the step counting algorithm.
Other FAQ
The measured SpO2 value is not displayed.
When measuring your SpO2 level, the watch will collect 15 values until the SpO2 value displayed on the watch screen becomes stable. Only the stable value displayed on the watch screen can be synchronized to the App. The watch supports manual SpO2 measurement, not automatic SpO2 measurement. During the SpO2 measurement, you need to stay still. Individual differences such as skin color, tattoos and hair can also affect the SpO2 signal, despite correct wearing of the watch. For the sake of SpO2 measurement youd better wear the watch where there are no tattoos.
After wearing the watch for a long time, my hand skin appears red and itchy.
Wearables are usually made of metal, leather, silicone and TPU. A few people may be allergic to the material of the watch strap. Do not wear the watch too tightly. Make sure that a finger can be inserted between the watch strap and your wrist. If you wear the watch too tightly, your wrist skin can become airtight, and the watch can easily leave marks on your wrist, causing a wrong feeling of red and itchy skin. Keep the contact area of your wrist dry. You may feel uncomfortable when the watch strap is wet and covers your wrist under airtight conditions. Clean the watch strap properly. After you wearing the watch for a long time, the watch strap may come into contact with some unclean stains. If the stains are not removed in time, your skin may have allergic reactions. Please clean the watch strap in time and carry out reasonable maintenance and care.
The camera function of the watch does not work.
Maintain the Bluetooth connection between the watch and your mobile phone Bluetooth receiving distance 10m. Authorize the App to call the system camera Place the mobile phone at a distance and lift your wrist to take a photo.
