Charge the smartwatch: Not only the smartwatch but any smart electronic product that can run on battery power. It is important to fully charge the device after purchase and before using it according to the capacity of the battery. If you don’t, the device may face various issues which can sometimes cause a lot of complications. So, be sure to fully charge your smartwatch after purchase and before use.Turn on the Smartwatch: Once your purchased Smartwatch is fully charged, refer to the packaging manual and press and hold the power button for 3-5 seconds to turn on your Smartwatch effortlessly.

Pair with your smartphone: The packaging or manual of the specific company’s model of smartwatch you’ve purchased will mention an app that you’ll need to download to your smartphone via a link or QR code. If you are using an Apple iPhone, then you will find these apps in the App Store or if you are using an Android smartphone then in the Play Store.close up Man with Mobile phone connected to a smart watch.

But sometimes you may be redirected to the company’s website to download these apps after scanning the QR code. But be careful not to download these apps from any unauthorized website. Once the app is downloaded, install it on your smartphone. Then connect your smartwatch through the apps installed on your smartphone. Bluetooth technology is commonly used here so make sure you have Bluetooth enabled on both your smartwatch and smartphone.

Set up language and region: After you turn on the smartwatch, it will prompt you to set up your region and language, in which case you select your desired region and language. Normally English language is set first in the smartwatch. Log in or create an account: Once the smartwatch is connected to the designated apps on your smartphone, you will get the option to log in or open a new account within those apps. Log in after signing up for an account using your email address or phone number. Note that while doing this process, your smartphone’s internet connection must be active because through this process your user profile will be connected to the manufacturer’s server. (e.g., Google account for Wear OS, Apple ID for Apple Watch). And through this, you will be connected to their ecosystem.

Agree to Terms: By going through the signup process discussed above, you have to agree to certain terms and conditions of the manufacturer. You will see this option while opening the account.

Personalized settings: At this stage, the smartwatch will decide some things for you like watch faces, notifications, display brightness, and more. Here you can change the settings you want later according to your usage pattern.

If any such update comes then allow it. These updates can usually come to those apps on your smartphone, but may also come to smartphones depending on the model. Be sure to keep your smartphone’s internet connection active while allowing this update wherever it comes from.
