4. Keep the app and firmware up to date

Always use the latest version of:

• The NOWATCH app

• Your device’s firmware

Updates improve performance, add new features, and fix known issues.

5. Keep the app active for proper syncing

The app syncs best when it is open or running in the background. For best results, open the app at least once a day. Learn more about this in this article.

6. Check that the sensors are active

When you wear your NOWATCH:

• The green LED sensors on the back of your NOWATCH should light up when the device is in contact with your skin. Make sure you’re wearing the watch on your wrist to confirm they’re active.

• The green LED light confirms the sensors are working and collecting data. If the lights are not visible, sensor tracking may not be active. Check out this article to fix the issue.

7. Reboot your NOWATCH if data does not update

If your data still does not sync after following the previous steps, reboot your NOWATCH device.
