6. Maintenance
6.1 Cleaning
Regularly clean your watch and strap to prevent skin irritation and maintain device longevity. Wipe the watch screen and body with a soft, damp cloth. For the silicone strap, you can wash it with mild soap and water, then rinse thoroughly and dry completely before wearing.
6.2 Water Resistance (IP68)
The HOCO Y25 is IP68 waterproof, meaning it is resistant to dust and can withstand immersion in water up to 1.5 meters for 30 minutes. It is suitable for daily activities like hand washing, showering (cold water), swimming, and snorkeling. However, avoid using it in hot water, saunas, or steam rooms, as steam can penetrate the seals and cause damage. Do not press buttons underwater.

6.3 Storage
When not in use for extended periods, store the watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure the battery is partially charged (around 50%) before storing to prolong its lifespan.
7. Troubleshooting
- Watch not turning on: Ensure the watch is fully charged. If it still doesn't turn on, try connecting it to the charger for a few minutes.
- Unable to connect to smartphone: Check if Bluetooth is enabled on your phone and the watch. Ensure the watch is within the Bluetooth range. Restart both your phone and the watch, then try pairing again through the app.
- Inaccurate health readings: Make sure the watch is worn snugly on your wrist, not too tight or too loose. Clean the sensors on the back of the watch. Avoid excessive movement during measurements.
- Screen unresponsive: Try restarting the watch by long-pressing the side button. If unresponsive, allow the battery to drain completely and then recharge it.
- Notifications not appearing: Check app permissions on your phone to ensure the companion app has access to notifications. Verify that notifications are enabled within the watch's settings and the companion app.
8. User Tips
- Regular Data Sync: Sync your watch data with the companion app regularly to keep track of your progress and ensure all health and activity data is saved.
- Firmware Updates: Check the companion app periodically for firmware updates. Updates often include performance improvements, bug fixes, and new features.
- Strap Adjustment: Adjust the strap for a comfortable fit. A strap that is too loose may lead to inaccurate heart rate and blood oxygen readings, while a strap that is too tight can cause discomfort.
- Explore Watch Faces: Don't hesitate to explore the wide variety of watch faces available in the app to match your style or mood.
- Optimize Battery Life: To maximize battery life, consider reducing screen brightness, turning off unnecessary notifications, and limiting continuous heart rate monitoring if not required.
