- Cannot pair with phone: Make sure Bluetooth is enabled on your phone and the watch is within range. Restart both devices and try pairing again through the Zepp App.
- Inaccurate GPS tracking: Ensure you are in an open outdoor area with a clear view of the sky. Allow the watch sufficient time to acquire a GPS signal before starting an activity.
- Battery draining quickly: Check for excessive background app usage or frequent screen wake-ups. Reduce screen brightness, disable always-on display, or limit notifications to extend battery life.
