APPS & FEATURES

Fitness And Exercise (Sports Mode)

Your smartwatch is equipped with 11 sports modes to track specific exercises such as running, golf, football, basketball, and more. Each exercise tracks details including steps, total time, average heart rate, calories burned and distance.

Sports modes included are:

   Hiking                             Football
Running                        Tennis
Cycling                          Basketball
Cycling Indoor                Golf
     Walking                        Baseball
  Soccer

• Once you begin a sports mode, the exercise on the watch may show two pages (you’ll see two small dots at the bottom of the screen). The first page shows activity data and the second page allows you to pause or stop the activity. Swipe left and right to navigate.
• You can perform the sport either near your smartphone or away/not connected to your smartphone. Once the smartwatch comes within Bluetooth range of your smartphone, it will automatically sync with the app. The activity will appear in the app dashboard (home screen).
• Sports modes should be performed one at a time. After stopping one mode, ensure that the data is synced to the app first. Then start your second sports mode. Completing multiple modes without syncing to the app will cause data you have acquired to be lost.
• The watch will alert you if the activity time is too short to record. Activities not performed for at least 3 minutes will not be saved to the app / watch.

You can view all of your completed sports modes for the day as well as the calories burned during each activity within the Calories card found on the mobile app dashboard (home screen).

Notifications & Messaging
The watch can display call, text, social media, and other app notifications from your smartphone. The smartwatch and phone must be within Bluetooth range of each other to receive notifications on the watch.

• In the mobile app, tap the `Menu’ icon and tap Settings. Then go to Watch Notifications.
• From Watch Notifications, you may select the notifications you wish to receive on your smartwatch

Note: Notification permissions differ between iOS and Android users.

When your smartwatch and smartphone are within range, notifications cause the smartwatch to vibrate. If you don’t read the notification when it arrives, you can check it later by navigating to Messages on your smartwatch. To view unopened messages and notifications on your device, swipe up from the main watch face to reveal the Messages. Tap on any message to read the full message. To exit the messages feature, swipe down from the top of the screen or swipe right if in the expanded message.

Your smartwatch continuously tracks a variety of stats whenever you wear it. The information is then synched with your watch any time you are within Bluetooth range. We recommend syncing your smartwatch to the app at least once a day to ensure all data is transferred.

Track Daily Goals
This smartwatch tracks your progress towards daily goals based on the goals you set when first setting up your account on the mobile app. When you reach your goal, the app will send you a push notification that the goal is completed.

To snap photos using your smartwatch, navigate to the camera remote function. With the app open, navigate to the settings page and tap Camera Remote. This will launch the built-in camera app (iOS Users: Tapping on Camera Remote will advise you to open up your native camera to take pictures with your watch). To take a picture, tap on the Camera Remote icon on your smartwatch or rotate your wrist towards / away from your body and your phone will take a picture.

Weather
Once your smartwatch is paired with our mobile app, open the app, go to Settings, scroll down and choose `Weather’. Your location should be automatically found or you can enter your location information manually. Once done, the watch will instantly update with the latest weather readings. From the Weather screen on your smartwatch, you can tap the screen to view more weather data. Your smartwatch shows the weather forecast for 5 days and updates hourly (as long as you are connected with the application on your mobile phone). You can also change the units of measurement for temperature here as well. If your smartwatch cannot update the weather during this time frame, it will show no information. This normally will happen if your phone and smartwatch aren’t connected. To correct this, use the application to connect your smartwatch to your phone again.
Note For Android Users When you fully connect to this smartwatch, you may see the weather as incorrect or not matching what you see from the forecast you’re observing. This is due to Android now preventing some information to be sent from your phone to the watch. Follow the steps above to ensure your weather data is always updated.

Note: your watch must be within range of your phone, connected via Bluetooth and powered on.

Time / Unit Formats
Tap on Time Formats under Settings in the mobile app to select between 12 and 24 hour format. Tap Units under Settings to change the units of measurement reflected on your smartwatch and/or app. Choose between the metric and imperial systems of measurement for your watch. You can choose other units that you can see in the app within this section as well.

UPDATE, RESTART, AND RESET

Update Smartwatch Firmware
Firmware updates are needed to fix bugs, make stability improvements, and feature enhancements. If a firmware update is available for your smartwatch, you should receive a pop-up notification from the app. We suggest manually checking for updates from time to time as well. To check for updates, open the mobile app, go to the main menu (top left) and tap Settings. Scroll down to Update Firmware and open to check for updates. Tap the Update button to download and install. Be sure that your smartwatch remains within Bluetooth range of your phone while updating. Once the update is complete, your watch will automatically reset.

Restart Your Smartwatch
If you can’t sync your smartwatch, have trouble with connected GPS or stat tracking, restarting your watch should fix most issues. From the main watch face, swipe down to reveal the Quick Settings and tap the power icon. Tap the blue check mark to confirm powering off. Allow your device 30 seconds to fully shut down. Then tap and hold the screen of your smartwatch for 3-5 seconds to turn it back on.

Reset Your Smartwatch
If restarting the smartwatch doesn’t address the issue, tap the Reset option found in watch Settings to reset your smartwatch and clear all data on it.

Wear And Care

Our smartwatches are meant to be worn all day and night, so it’s important to follow wear and care guidelines.

To keep your band clean and your skin happy, we recommend the following:

• Clean your band and wrist regularly – especially after intense workouts or sweating.
• Rinse the band with water or wipe it with a small amount of rubbing alcohol. Do NOT use hand soap, dish soap, hand sanitizer, cleaning wipes or household cleaners, which could get trapped beneath the band and irritate your skin.
• Dry the band thoroughly before putting it back on.

This smartwatch is IP67 water resistant, which means you should not submerge your smartwatch in water deeper than one meter for longer than 30 minutes. We advise not to swim with your smartwatch. However, your device can withstand many splashes, rain, and daily activities such as washing dishes. If your smartwatch gets wet, we advise you to remove it until dry. It is not good for your skin to wear a wet band for long periods of time.
