To set time on Spade and Co smartwatch, you do not need to manually adjust the watch face. The time is automatically set and synchronized when the smartwatch is paired with your smartphone via the dedicated companion app.
How to set time on Spade and Co smartwatch automatically
The Spade and Co Health Smartwatch series is designed to sync the time from your phone automatically. Before you begin, ensure the smartwatch is fully charged and that you have a compatible smartphone. The Spade & Co Health Smartwatch series is compatible with Android devices (Android 6 and up) and iPhones (iOS 9 and up).
- Install the VeryFit app (or the app name specified in your quick start guide) on your smartphone. For Health Smartwatch 4, the app is typically 'VeryFit' or the specified app name in the quick start guide.
- Before pairing, ensure the smartwatch is fully charged.
- Turn on Bluetooth on your phone.
- Open the app and follow the on-screen instructions to pair your Spade and Co smartwatch with the app.
- Once paired, the smartwatch will automatically fetch the correct time from your phone and display it on the watch face.
After the initial pairing, the time will stay in sync as long as the Bluetooth connection between the watch and phone remains active. There is no manual time-setting option on the watch itself; all time adjustments are handled through the app-based sync method.
Troubleshooting: Why won't my Spade and Co smartwatch show the correct time?
If the time on your smartwatch is incorrect, the issue is almost always related to the connection or settings between the watch and your phone. Here are the most common causes and their solutions.
Bluetooth disconnection
If your smartwatch loses its Bluetooth connection to the phone, it cannot sync the time. Check that Bluetooth is enabled on both devices. Open the VeryFit app and confirm the watch is listed as connected. If not, tap the device in the app to reconnect.
Outdated app or firmware
An outdated app or watch firmware can prevent proper time synchronization. Open your phone's app store, search for the VeryFit app, and install any available updates. Also, check the app's settings for any firmware update options for the smartwatch itself.
Incorrect phone time zone settings
Your smartwatch pulls the time from your phone. If your phone's time zone is wrong, the watch will show the wrong time. To fix this, you need to change phone time zone to the correct one for your location. On an iPhone, go to Settings > General > Date & Time and enable "Set Automatically." On Android, go to Settings > System > Date & Time and turn on "Use network-provided time zone."
Automatic time setting needs toggling
Sometimes the automatic time sync in the app can get stuck. Open the VeryFit app, navigate to the device settings, and look for an option related to time sync. Toggle the automatic time setting off, wait a few seconds, then toggle it back on. This forces the watch to re-sync with your phone's current time.
Phone time format confusion
If your watch displays the time in a 12-hour format but you prefer 24-hour (military time), or vice versa, the fix is on your phone. You can change your phone time to military time in your phone's system settings. On most phones, this is found under Settings > Date & Time > Time Format. The watch will automatically match whatever format your phone uses.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I change the time on my Spade and Co smartwatch when I travel to a different time zone?
You do not need to adjust the watch manually. Simply update the time zone on your smartphone, either manually or by enabling automatic time zone detection. Once your phone shows the correct local time, the smartwatch will sync to match it the next time it connects via Bluetooth.
Why does the time on my Spade and Co smartwatch keep resetting?
If the time resets frequently, the watch is likely losing its Bluetooth connection to the phone. Ensure the VeryFit app is allowed to run in the background on your phone and that battery optimization settings are not killing the app. If the problem persists, try unpairing and re-pairing the watch in the app.
Can I set the time manually on the watch itself without using the app?
No. The Spade and Co smartwatch does not have a manual time-setting option on the device. All time adjustments are controlled through the automatic sync with your paired smartphone. This is different from how to change the time on a Fitbit without the app, which some other brands allow.
How accurate is the time on my Spade and Co Smartwatch?
The time on your smartwatch should be relatively accurate, provided that it has been properly set and is connected to a stable internet connection for periodic synchronization. However, it is worth noting that slight variations in timekeeping may occur due to factors such as network delays or software limitations.
What should I do if the time is still wrong after trying all troubleshooting steps?
First, restart both your smartwatch and your smartphone. Then, open the VeryFit app, remove the device from the app's device list, and pair it again as if it were new. This fresh connection often resolves persistent sync issues. If the problem continues, contact Spade and Co customer support for further assistance.
