Welcome to NOWATCH!

We’re thrilled to have you on board!

This guide will walk you through everything you need to get started: from creating an account and setting up the device, to charging the NOWATCH and pairing it with the app.

Essential NOWATCH Items for Setup

Before you get started, make sure you have all the necessary NOWATCH components:

  • Case

  • Metal, Gemstone, or Time Disc

  • Strap

  • Charger

  • USB Cable

Attach the Straps

  1. Pull the small pin sideways to retract the spring bar on the strap (see A).

  2. Place the strap between the lugs on the watch case while keeping the spring bar retracted.

  3. Release the pin so the spring bar locks into place securely.

  4. Make sure the strap with the buckle is attached at the 12 o’clock position.

  5. The crown (button) on the case should always point to 8 o’clock when worn, whether you wear the device on your left or right wrist.

Insert the Disc

  1. Place the underside of the charger over the top of your Disc to activate the magnet (A).

  2. Lower the Disc into the case, making sure it sits perfectly aligned (B).

  3. Slide the charger sideways to disengage the magnet (C). The Metal Discs have a larger metallic mass, resulting in a stronger magnetic force when using the underside of the charger.

Important

  • Always keep the charger vertical when placing or removing a Disc.

  • Do not use your fingers to change the Disc.

  • Avoid tilting the Disc during placement or removal.

Download the NOWATCH app

Activate Your NOWATCH

To activate your NOWATCH, place the watch on the charger. It should activate automatically.

Placing NOWATCH on the Charger

  1. Place it with the lugs positioned perpendicular to the LED light (see ✅).

  2. The device will vibrate, and the white LED on the charger will turn ON to confirm charging has started.

Enable Notifications

Turn on NOWATCH notifications to stay informed! This way, we can let you know when your battery is running low and send you helpful reminders to check in and make the most of your NOWATCH.

To receive these notifications, please make sure to enable them in your phone’s settings.

How to wear your NOWATCH

Make sure to wear your NOWATCH just above your wrist bone, closer to your elbow, not your hand, and adjust the strap so it fits snugly. This helps the sensors maintain good contact with your skin for the most accurate measurements.

The crown should always point to the 8 o’clock position, no matter which wrist you wear it on.
