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.
