Why won't my smart watch connect?
What to do if the watch does not connect to the phone or other problems or failures occur during operation? Here are the answers to some of the most common questions about working with the device.
System updates needed
The watch will not connect to your Google smartphone if the minimum working updates are not installed:
- Google Play - no lower than 7.3;
- SearchApp - from 4.0;
- Android Wear - 1.1.
Weak watch battery
The watch does not connect if the battery is not charged, and also if it does not hold a charge. Bluetooth connection is one of the most energy-consuming processes for any gadget.
Reasons why the watch battery may be overcharged:
- The Google Now app runs in the background and drains battery. You will need to put it into sleep mode.
- Interruption of wireless Internet connection. Constantly searching for a network increases battery consumption.
- System applications reduce battery capacity through automatic synchronization. You need to disable all unused applications.
- Problems in the OS. If the smartphone runs on Android 7, the firmware itself may consume an excessive amount of energy. Update required.
Why is there no pairing?
This situation occurs in the case of several parallel connections via Bluetooth. To solve this, you need to cut off third-party connections.
Notifications do not appear on the watch display
The problem is solved by rebooting the gadgets and resynchronizing. It is also recommended to check the operation of the application installed on your smartphone, update it and restart it.

In the first menu, when you just turned on the smartwatch, Russian may not be in the list of available languages. Most of the models that you purchased at mobile phone stores or electronics stores are already adapted for Russia. English or Chinese languages are mostly present in models ordered online from abroad.

The main purpose of a smartwatch is usually to monitor the wearer's health. In this role, the watch is very functional. They can measure heart rate, determine blood pressure, count steps while walking, track various types of physical activity, check sleep quality and perform a number of other similar functions. All received information is stored in memory and can be viewed using a smartphone synchronized with the device.
There are models that can work with SIM cards. You can use them to make calls or exchange SMS messages. Although such communication is not as convenient as on the phone, it allows you to exchange the necessary information with your interlocutor if necessary.
The watch can usually also be used in the normal way to tell the time. Planning tools are used here to help you remember what needs to be done. Here you can create a schedule for a long period and receive notifications. Which remind you of what needs to be done.
There is a timer and stopwatch, and it is possible to listen to audio tracks. You can manage widget parameters.
The connection is complete, but it is unstable, what should I do?
If the connection between the smart gadget and the phone is successful, but it is unstable, check how far the devices are from each other: it should not exceed 1 meter. The Internet connection may also fail, make sure it is stable. Also try to follow the steps that apply if there is no connection: updating the OS and programs to the required version, checking Bluetooth activity, making sure airplane mode is disabled. Then we follow the same pattern: we try to reinstall Android Wear or reset the parameters.

The maximum error is 5-7 units. It’s no wonder that this watch is the company’s flagship product today. True, it is not recommended to measure blood pressure with them on the go; to obtain the most accurate data, sit on a chair, place your hand on the table so that your wrist is in line with your heart and go ahead!

Perhaps one of the best budget models. The stylish GSMIN WP 41 smart watch with a removable silicone strap will look harmonious with both a sports uniform and a formal suit. The rectangular, smooth plastic body without buttons makes them look like some kind of mini-communicator from a science-fiction film about the future.

Connection and setup instructions
Due to the fact that this version of the smart watch is a new generation, before starting work you will need to install an application specially developed for it on your mobile phone. This is Fit Pro. You can download it from the Google application store. Select the application language “Russian” and start setting up your smart device.
To do this, you will need to launch the FitPro program and create a new account. You need to click on the “New User” tab, which is located at the top left of the screen. You will need to provide a work email address and create a password. After this, you will need to confirm and complete the registration by clicking on a separate button.
After registration, you should go to the application and go to the “Device” section. In it, select the “Search for a device and connect to it” tab. If the bracelet is located next to your mobile phone and you are ready to connect it, you will see its name. You will need to click on it, and also wait until the device finds and connects to the smartphone.
Note! Your mobile phone must have the Bluetooth function connected, and the operating system must be updated to a version no lower than 4.4.
Finally, the user can begin to customize the M5 smart bracelet to suit their own needs and transfer the necessary information to the device.
Setting up notifications in the Mi Fit app
To set up notifications, a stable connection between the watch bracelet and the smartphone is required (installed using the MiFit or Amazfit Watch applications).
If the connection is established via MiFit, you need to launch the program, go to your profile, select the device model (Amazfit Bip). Then activate the “App notifications” tab and grant access there. In the middle bottom of the display there will be a virtual “Manage Apps” tab. Once there, you can mark the applications you need. Notifications will begin to arrive.
FitPro app for M5
The FitPro app for the M5 smartwatch allows you to track your workouts and fitness level. Remember that through the settings you will be able to change the application language by selecting English. Unfortunately, the menu is so poorly Russified that it makes no sense to use it; everything will be clear to a user who does not even know English.
Before you start working with the device and application, be sure to provide your personal information. These are your weight, height, and age. This must be done in the Mine section. In this case, the application will more accurately track your physical activity and calculate the correct number of calories. In this section, you can also indicate the minimum number of steps you are willing to take during the day. There is information on the steps taken during the week.
The watch and the application have a function for synchronizing information in the “Health” section. In the Motion section you can show what kind of workout you did. By starting the timer, the program will count the number of steps taken, calories burned and other data.
As a result, this smartwatch option is an excellent option for those who are not ready to spend money on such devices, but need to have them. Therefore, using such smart watches, you can more carefully monitor your health, as well as track the workouts you have done and the number of calories burned.
Problems and methods for solving them
Inexpensive smartwatches, which are often ordered from AliExpress, may display an “Offline” message. This happens when the IMEI and watch ID do not match (required for registration) or due to incorrect network settings. In the first case, only a specialist can solve the problem, but in the second, you need to contact the telecom operator’s technical support.
In addition, the absence of a network is possible if the SIM card is installed incorrectly, which needs to be rearranged after the watch is turned off . If the problem cannot be resolved, you should contact your mobile operator.
Budget or expensive, from a little-known manufacturer or an industry giant - all devices perform similar functions. Setting up your smartwatch takes a little time and effort. But after correctly installing all the parameters and applications, you can use the gadget for many months without additional difficulties.
