Operating Your Ticwatch E

Maintenance
Battery Care
To ensure optimal battery performance, charge your watch regularly. If you experience sudden battery drops or short battery life, it is recommended to fully charge the watch for more than 2 hours before use, and then allow it to fully deplete and recharge for 1-3 cycles to recalibrate the battery indicator.
Changing the Watch Band
The Ticwatch E features quick-release strap settings, making it easy to change the watch band for customization or replacement. Simply locate the small pins on the underside of the band near the watch lugs, slide them to release, and attach your new compatible band.
Troubleshooting
Screen Visibility Issues
If you find the screen difficult to read in bright daylight, try adjusting the brightness settings. While the OLED display is vibrant indoors, direct sunlight can reduce visibility. Consider using watch faces with higher contrast for outdoor use.
Physical Design Concerns
The transparent plastic lugs, while contributing to the lightweight design, may feel less robust compared to metal alternatives. The slightly sharp edge of the screen bezel can also be noticeable during swiping. These are inherent characteristics of the design and material choice for this model.
Warranty and Support
Your Ticwatch E comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee for any reason, and a 12-month warranty for quality-related issues. For further assistance, please refer to the official user guide PDF available here.
