Troubleshooting
Connectivity Issues (e.g., with iPhone)
The Black Shark Watch X Pro is designed as a standalone Android watch. It operates independently and does not require or support connection via an app to a mobile phone (including iPhones). Its primary connectivity features are its built-in 4G, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth capabilities for direct use.
General Issues

- Screen unresponsive: Try restarting the watch by holding down the Power button until the restart option appears, or force restart if necessary.
- Apps not downloading/working: Check your Wi-Fi or 4G connection. Ensure there is sufficient storage space (32GB ROM).

- App Exploration: Take advantage of the Android system to explore and download various apps directly on your watch for enhanced functionality and entertainment.
