Getting Started
Starting the Watches
Charge your watch. Attaching the clip may cause the watch to reset. This is only for Beta units.
It is due to the Reset pin used for 2-wire JTAG (embedded debugging) being turned ON by
default.
Resetting the watch causes pairing information to be deleted. This (pairing information) will be
stored in Flash memory in the next revision of software. If you reset while paired, be prepared
for a new pairing request.
If you are using a large grey charge clip that has an 18 pin ribbon connector on the back, you
should attach your clip to the watch BEFORE applying power via the micro USB socket.
If you are using the small black clip with only a micro USB socket, then you should be able to
attach to the watch however you like. It may be possible to short the power against the steel
case back; there are protections in place to limit any damage, but you may notice the clip
getting hot if this occurs. Try to verify that everything is seated correctly and that the watch is
charging.
Digital Watch
There are 6 buttons on the digital watch. When booted the digital watch has these functions
(mostly for demonstration and debug). The watch boots in a “radio mode”.

Analog Watch
There are 3 buttons on the Analog watch. When booted the analog watch has no UI functions.
MetaWatch.org User Manual Draft APK v0.1.9b
Watch v0.7.15
This is a temporary situation. There will be a default analog watch UI similar to the digital watch
UI.
Starting the Android APK (Meta Watch app)
Enable 3rd party app installation from Unknown Sources; this check box is found in Settings-
>Applications on Nexus S OS 2.3.
The APK file can be installed by installing from a GMAIL account or by loading on the SD card
via USB and then browsing for the file using a file manager application. We use Astro File
Manager.
Once installed, you should be able to open the app (named “MetaWatch”, press the Android
Menu button and go to “Settings”.
1. Under the ‘Notifications’ title, you can check or uncheck the items you want pushed to
the watch. Some are experimental, such as Gmail and Alarm which do not have official
APIs from Google to get reliable information.
2. Under the ‘Device’ title; use Select Watch to discover and select your watch. Be sure
your phone has Bluetooth turned on. You should see your watch’s MAC address
displayed on the phone. Alternatively, you can use the MAC button to manually enter
your MAC address. Skip this for now.
3. Under the ‘Other’ title. Here there are two experimental check boxes for the digital
watch only, one labeled “Music Controls” which turns the buttons on the the 9 o’clock-
side of the watch (D, E, and F Idle buttons) into a music control cluster. The other is
labeled “Last Notification Replay” which turns button B into a signal to the phone to
replay the last notification you received again (does not replay transient notifications like
calls or alarms).
Select the “font size” and “weather location” that works best for you. The weather location is a
free form field, you should be able to put a city, or zipcode. It requires an HTTP data connection.
The “Packet Wait” setting is for debugging and should be set to 0 (zero).
“Invert LCD” changes the LCD from White on Mirror to Mirror on White. Play around with it to
see what you like best, but implementation is incomplete and may require you to start and stop
the Meta Watch APK service.
Keep ‘Skip SDP Lookup’ unchecked. It is for debugging.
‘Test SMS loop interval’ is for debugging.
Press ‘Back’ to go back a screen.
Pairing and Connecting
Here is the procedure:
MetaWatch.org User Manual Draft APK v0.1.9b
Watch v0.7.15
1) Make sure the watch is charged and the radio is ON. (For analog, you may need to reset the
watch to ensure the radio is on) -- Right now, the watch will stay ON with no connection for 10
minutes. After that, it will turn OFF and you will need to start it again.
2) In the App, hit Menu->Settings->Select Watch
3) Select your watch from the menu. The name of the watch should include “Fossil”
and “Analog” or “Digital”. You should make sure the MAC address matches if there is more than
one watch around.
4) Once the watch is selected, press ‘back’
5) Press Menu->Start
6) The Application will start searching for the watch and connect to it. If you paired using the
Android pairing menu, then it should simply connect. If you have not paired yet, then you will
get a pairing request. Sometimes the pairing request pops up, or sometimes it goes in your
notification system bar at the top of the screen. You may need to pull this down and press
the ‘pairing request’ notification to get the dialog.
When connected the logo for the MetaWatch serivice displays a tiny watch in the system bar.
The MetaWatch App will remember the MAC address of the watch you selected permanently.
you do not need to select watch again unless you change watches or you delete the
information.
Disconnections
If you wander too far away, if you turn off the radio, reset, stop or exit the android service, etc,
the connection will drop.
When the watch loses the connection, it immediately goes to the radio screen and tell’s
you “paired”. It will stay this way for 10 minutes and then turn off the radio (future builds will put
the watch on standby as long you leave it alone). If the watch’s radio is ON (or paired), it will
reconnect automatically when the phone is back or the service on the phone starts again.
When the phone loses the connection, the phone will start displaying a pop-up error for a java
error and a Service Discovery Failed error alternating. This is normal, just a little annoying. You
can stop the errors by open the app and doing Menu-Stop. remember to start it again when you
want to connect to a watch.
How to Reset
Software Reset Digital Watch:
Software reset: Press and hold button C for 10 seconds. The watch should reset when you
release the button.
Software Reset Analog Watch:
No software reset method at the moment.
Hardware Reset (both):
Flip the watch over so you can see the four gold pins on the back. Take the metal part of the
buckle and touch it to the last two pins on the 6 o’clock side. Shorting these two pins can reset
the watch.

Watch v0.7.15
If you have had a big enough software crash (usually associated with phone’s that misbehave),
then you may need to wait for the batteries to run out if all else fails.
You can connect to the USB debugger and send a reset signal. Let me know if you need that.
Connecting the charger can cause a reset at the moment (because of a debugging signal that’s
on)
There is a way to remove and reinsert the battery. Let me know if you need that.
Trouble Shooting
If you notice any corruption of the display or slow reactions to the phone events, there may be
an issue with the particular phone you have. Try resetting the watch and see if it happens every
time. Let us know if it happens right away, after 10 minutes, or a day or a week along with the
description and your phone make/model/service provider/OS version.
Selecting the experimental functions like “music controls” can take over your buttons and
prevent you from using the base UI (like the LED). This is just experimental stuff right now.
Use the upper left button (button F) to check on your battery level. If your phone supports Sniff
mode like it should, this should last you ~4 days with today’s software.
Since we have the Reset pin on the back active, sweat can actually cause the reset right now.
If you notice your watch acting funny any you’re sweaty, take it off and see if it works better.
A small piece of scotch tape to cover these will do the trick if this is happening to you. Future
builds will have this OFF by default, but it’s too useful right now.
If you really have issues you can’t figure out, try a hard reset of the watch (see above) and a
hard reset of the phone (turn off, pull battery, wait, put battery back in, boot). You may also want
to delete the paired information from the Android Settings->Wireless->bluetooth and the MAC
address from the MetaWatch App. Please report back.
