7. Maintenance

  • Cleaning: Regularly clean the charging port with brushes and a soft cloth to remove sweat and dirt, which can affect charging performance.
  • Water Resistance: The watch is IPX7 rated waterproof. While it can withstand immersion in water up to 1 meter for 30 minutes, for optimal performance and longevity, store the product in a cool, dry place and clean it after exposure to sweat and dirt.
  • Storage: When not in use, store the device in a cool, dry environment.

8. Troubleshooting

  • Distance Measurement Displays "—": If the distance measurement shows dashes instead of figures, connect the watch to power and recharge it. Low battery levels can activate a power reserve mode, reducing GPS range and affecting location accuracy.
  • GPS Not Locating: Ensure you are in an open area with no obstructions covering the GPS receiver. If the issue persists, ensure the device is adequately charged.
  • Charging Issues: Clean the charging connectors on both the watch and the cable to ensure good contact. Use only 5V USB power sources.
