12 Product Maintenance

12.1 Saving battery life

Watch battery life depends on battery capacity and usage. If you install lots of third-party apps

or use watch features intensively, this will reduce the standby time.

The following tips can help improve battery life:

A. Disable unnecessary app notifications

Method 1: Go to the settings screen in the Android Wear app. Under Block app notifications,

select those apps for which notifications should be disabled.

Method 2: Swipe left on the screen when you receive a notification message and touch Block

app to disable notifications for that app.

B. Disable the Always-on screen feature

Watch battery life depends on battery capacity, watch features and usage. For example, a watch with a

color screen uses more power than an e-ink screen. Likewise, smart watches use more power than

ordinary electronic watches. Frequent use of smart watch features will also increase power consumption.

12.2 Adjusting the strap length

- Stainless steel mesh strap: Please adjust the strap yourself so that it fits your wrist.

- Leather strap: First try adjusting the strap yourself so that it fits your wrist. If the strap

does not fit comfortably using the existing holes, please take your watch to a

professional dealer (for example, a Huawei Watch retailer or jeweler) for adjustment.

- Stainless steel link bracelet: A special tool is needed to adjust the bracelet. To prevent

any accidental damage to your watch, please take it to a professional dealer (for example,

a Huawei Watch retailer or jeweler) for adjustment.

Caring for the watch display

The watch display is protected by a layer of scratch-resistant sapphire crystal (synthetically

produced crystal). However, avoid dropping the watch or exposing it to strong impacts. Do

not allow the watch face to come into contact with sharp objects. For example, avoid

scratching the face with a knife or against a rock.

Caring for your leather strap

- Pull the strap carefully when putting your watch on to reduce wear and tear.

- Keep your leather strap in a dry, well-ventilated area and wipe it dry immediately after

exposure to water. Use a tissue or soft cotton cloth to wipe dust off the strap.

- Avoid wearing the watch in hot or rainy weather or when swimming, taking a shower, or

exercising for prolonged periods. Wipe off any water or dirt using a clean cloth or tissue.

Place the strap in a cool, well-ventilated area to dry and then apply a layer of leather

polish.

- Do not dry the strap by placing it in direct sunlight or by using heating appliances such

as microwaves or hairdryers, otherwise it may shrink/expand.

- Avoid contact with rough or sharp objects to prevent damage to your strap.

- Do not compress the strap or bend it for prolonged periods, otherwise it may change

shape.

- Keep the watch strap away from flammable, acidic, and alkaline materials. Natural

marks or imperfections on the leather are not covered by the warranty.

- Do not pull the strap too tight to prevent creases. Do not bend the strap in the wrong

direction, as this will result in creases or cracks in the leather.

- Do not attempt to punch holes in the strap yourself. Failure to apply protective oil after

punching holes will cause the strap to crack.

- Apply a thin layer of vaseline to the strap during the autumn/winter. Wipe the strap dry

using a soft cloth and then apply the vaseline. Reapply the vaseline after approximately

one week.

13.4 Why do Android phones take so long to reconnect to

the watch when Bluetooth disconnects?

The icon indicates that the watch has disconnected from your phone.

Follow the steps below if the Bluetooth connection fails to be re-established automatically:

- If you are using the watch with a Huawei phone, ensure that the Android Wear app has

been added to the protected apps list. Check whether any phone or power management

apps are restricting Bluetooth access.

If you are using a Huawei phone, add the Android Wear app to the list of protected apps

and the Doze whitelist as follows.

Android version Add to protected app list

Android 5.0 Select Phone Manager > Power saving > Protected apps

and select the Android Wear app.

Android 6.0 Select Phone Manager > Battery manager > Protected

apps and select the Android Wear app.

Android version Add to Doze whitelist

Android 5.0 N/A

Android 6.0 Select Settings > Apps > Advanced > Ignore battery

optimizations and add the app to the whitelist.

- Your phone will automatically reconnect to your phone when the Android Wear app is

open.

If the Android Wear app continues to display the Connecting... status message in the

upper left corner, touch in the upper right corner to disconnect and then reconnect to

the watch.

- Go to Settings > Bluetooth on the phone and check whether the Huawei Watch is

displayed in the list of available Bluetooth devices.

− If the watch is not listed, unpair the devices and then re-establish the connection.

− If the watch is listed, disable and then re-enable Bluetooth.

- If you still can't re-establish the Bluetooth connection, restart your watch and phone and

then try again.

- Do not unpair your phone and watch from the Bluetooth settings menu on your phone. If you do so,

you will have to restore your watch to factory settings to re-pair it with your phone.

- After your phone disconnects from the watch, the Android Wear app will attempt to reconnect. The

watch can accept reconnect requests, but cannot initiate them. If the watch is disconnected for a

prolonged period, the reconnect delay will reach 256s, in which case your phone may take a few

minutes to reconnect.

- On some phones running Android 6.0 or above, the Android Wear app may be unable to re-establish

the Bluetooth connection automatically when the screen is locked and you will need to reconnect

manually. Huawei will release a fix for this issue in upcoming version updates.

13.5 Why does it take so long to reconnect to an iPhone

when Bluetooth disconnects?

If a Bluetooth connection with an iPhone is interrupted, the watch can reconnect automatically,

or you can establish a connection manually.

- Automatic reconnect: The watch will attempt to reconnect to the iPhone at incremental

intervals to save power: 30s, 1 min, 2 min, 4 min, 8 min, 16 min, 32 min, 32 min, 32

min…

- Manual reconnect: The watch will display a notification card when Bluetooth

disconnects. Touch the card to reconnect manually.

If your watch does not reconnect for a long time, it could be due to the following reasons:

- The Android Wear app is not running on your iPhone.

Your watch can only connect to the iPhone when the Android Wear app is running.

- Bluetooth has been disconnected for too long and the reconnect interval is now every 32

min.

In this case, touch the notification card to reconnect manually.

- Try unpairing and re-pairing your watch:

a. On your watch, press and hold the watch crown (side button) for 3 seconds, swipe

on the screen, and select Settings > Unpair with phone.

b. On your iPhone, open Settings > Bluetooth.

To the right of your watch's name, tap the Info icon > Forget this device.

At the top right, tap More > Pair new wearable. Then follow the steps on your

screen to re-pair your watch.

13.6 Why can't the phone search for my watch?

Before pairing your watch with a phone, download the Android Wear app from the Google

Play Store or App Store, and you will be able to use this app to set up a connection between

your watch and the phone.

- Do not use Bluetooth in the phone settings to pair the phone with your watch.

- Before pairing, keep your watch on the pairing screen where the watch Bluetooth name is displayed

(the time is not displayed). If your watch already has the watch face screen displayed, restore your

watch to its factory settings before pairing: Press and hold the watch crown (side button) for 3

seconds, swipe on the screen, and select Settings > Unpair with phone.

13.8 Can I use my Bluetooth car kit to take calls when my

watch is connected to an Android phone?

Mobile phones cannot stream phone audio to multiple Bluetooth devices at once. Therefore,

you cannot listen to a call using a car kit and watch at the same time.

If your phone is connected to your watch and the phone audio feature is enabled, the car kit

will not be able to connect automatically.

It is recommended that before driving, you go to Settings on your phone, turn on Bluetooth,

and connect to your car kit manually.

- The watch prioritizes Bluetooth connections and only connects over Wi-Fi if Bluetooth

disconnects.

- Bluetooth connections use less power than Wi-Fi connections.

- When the watch is connected over Wi-Fi, notifications may be delayed in order to save

power.

- When the watch is connected over Wi-Fi, your phone must also have a working Internet

connection. If your phone is not connected to the Internet, you will not be able to use the

watch's voice command, voice search, contacts or message notification features, even if

the watch is connected via Wi-Fi.

13.12 I can receive notifications and messages on my watch

but cannot reply. Why?

you will not be able to send a reply using your watch. This is not an issue with your watch or

the Android Wear app.

13.13 What can I do if my watch doesn't notify me when

receiving notifications?
