Troubleshooting
Watch not syncing with the COROS app
Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your phone and the watch is within range. Try restarting both your phone and the watch. Check if the COROS app needs an update.
GPS accuracy is poor
Ensure the watch has a clear view of the sky. Update to the latest firmware for improved GPS performance. Perform a GPS reset through the watch settings if issues persist.
Heart rate readings seem inaccurate
Make sure the watch is worn snugly on your wrist, about one finger's width above your wrist bone. Clean the sensors on the back of the watch. Avoid excessive hair or lotions under the sensor area.
Battery draining faster than expected
Check for background activity or widgets that might be consuming power. Reduce screen brightness or set the display to always-on mode less frequently. Ensure GPS settings are optimized for your activity type.
Watch screen is unresponsive
Try restarting the watch by holding down the power button. If the issue persists, perform a factory reset via the watch's system settings (note: this will erase all data on the watch).
