Using the software

Press "Try again" to access the interface of the software in Sports mode (default)


To take full advantage of the features that the software offers you need to enter some parameters on the watch. To do this access the Pedometer menu of your watch and type in the type of unit (imperial or metric), your weight and stride length. The software needs this information to give you the number of calories burned, distance traveled, etc ...



Now you see a large circle in the center with the note at the bottom of it "Switch to sleep" to give you information about your sleep. This panorama is described below in the page

Back to the default view "Sport". Once your watch pedometer based information about the number of calories burned, number of steps and distance will be displayed in real time

Push set : Enable or disable receipt of notifications (Service Notification), select the types of notifications you want to receive on your watch (app Notification) and an application to block / unblock some applications (Blocked app).
