Can I use the step tracker without connecting to a smartphone?
Yes, the watch will still track your steps and display them on the digital screen even without being connected to a smartphone. However, for detailed activity logs, trend analysis, and other advanced features, smartphone connection is required.
Is the display scratch-resistant?
The watch features a mineral glass crystal, which offers good resistance against scratches and impacts, but it is not entirely scratch-proof like sapphire glass.
Troubleshooting
Watch won't connect to the G-SHOCK Connected app via Bluetooth.
Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your smartphone. Restart both your watch (by turning it off and on if possible, or forcing a re-pairing) and your phone. Try deleting the watch from your phone's Bluetooth device list and re-pairing from scratch using the app's instructions. Make sure the watch is not already connected to another device.
Step count seems inaccurate or is not updating.
Ensure the watch is worn snugly on your wrist. Check the G-SHOCK Connected app for any calibration options for the step tracker. Ensure the app is running in the background on your phone if continuous syncing is desired. Make sure your personal profile (height, weight) in the app is accurate.
Time is incorrect or not syncing automatically.
Establish a successful Bluetooth connection with your smartphone and the G-SHOCK Connected app. The watch should automatically sync time from your phone. If not, check the app settings for manual time synchronization options or perform a manual time set on the watch.
Digital display is dim or difficult to read.
Activate the watch's backlight by pressing the designated light button. Ensure the watch is not in power-saving mode if such a feature is enabled (consult the full manual for power-saving settings). If the display remains dim, ensure sufficient lighting in your environment.
