Troubleshooting
Connectivity Issues
- Watch not connecting to phone: Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your phone and the watch. Restart both devices and try pairing again through the Mi Fitness app.

Battery Life Concerns

Inaccurate Readings
- Heart rate/SpO2 readings seem incorrect: Ensure the watch is worn snugly on your wrist, not too tight or too loose. Clean the sensor on the back of the watch. Avoid excessive movement during measurements.
