How To Connect Smartwatch to Smartphone?

Other than being able to keep in touch with the time, there are some main reasons why people purchase a smartwatch rather than a traditional watch. These lists below are the main reason for purchasing smartwatches:

• Tracking their health. This is the most common reason for purchasing smartwatches. Even sometimes, people are still willing to purchase a smartwatch without an internet connection as long as they can track their health and fitness activities like heart rate, sleep, and workouts. Smartwatches are also a perfect wearable to remind your health treatment, like the time to consume pills and medications, drink reminders, and stretching reminders when the users have been sitting for a long time. Most smartwatches are water-resistant, so users can still use the watch while doing water activities.
• Keeping in touch with notifications. Most smartwatches provide an internet connection. Either with their data or depending on the wifi connection. Smartwatches can receive notifications from calls, text messages, and social media with this internet connection. Even on some smartwatches, they can give action from the notification like calling back and replying to the text.
• Being able to control the smartphone remotely. Carrying a smartphone all the time might feel inconvenient, especially while exercising and working out. Most people will leave their phones away but still want control over their phones, so the Smartwatch is the answer. Smartwatches can do some action to your phone, like turning on the not disturb and silence mode, answering calls, and controlling the music and camera of your phone.

Most smartwatches need to be connected to a smartphone before using it. Sometimes they are so dependable with a smartphone. Even though some smartwatches can be used independently, connecting them to a smartphone is a good idea as users can always see the recorded data on their phones.


What type of connection will you use to connect a smartwatch to a smartphone?

• Bluetooth Connectivity. To connect the Smartwatch and smartphone via Bluetooth, the first step is to go to the setting and turn the Bluetooth on. Then make sure that both devices are on. Look for the Bluetooth name on both devices, type the PIN, and then synchronize it. Usually, before getting connected, they will ask for permission to pair the device regarding security. So, ensure that the user already gives the pairing permission on the Smartwatch and the smartphone. Connecting the smartwatches with a Bluetooth connection will allow the user to receive notifications and connect to the internet. Still, it cannot be far from the smartphone, which means the watch can only work with the smartphone nearby.
• Wifi Connection. The first step is transforming the smartphone into a router by turning on the internet tethering feature. Then, search for the wifi connectivity on the Smartwatch and connect to the smartphone's wifi. Once the wifi is connected, users can synchronize the data between the Smartwatch and smartphone and provide the internet connection to the Smartwatch. Same with Bluetooth connectivity, the wifi connection requires a smartwatch to be located near the smartphone.
• Additional Application. This method requires users to download a particular mobile app on their smartphone. To know which app to download, it is usually provided in the manual book along with the QR code that will direct users to the app on the application store. Most smartwatch manufacturers or companies are developing the application along with the Smartwatch to be downloaded on smartphones to get it connected. Then it can control the Smartwatch or be as simple as transferring data between those devices. Besides the company's designed app, some health and fitness applications can also recognize the smartwatch devices to read and monitor the users' health data.

So, once the users have downloaded the application, it usually asks permission to use several features of the phone, such as accessing contacts, cameras, and microphones. After that, the application will likely ask users to have an account. By this, users can register one or even skip it. For easier usage, we recommend creating an account so that when changing the device, users can still sign in to their account and still have their saved data.

After the application is settled, the user can start to find the smartwatch device and connect. The app might scan some devices nearby or show a QR code to be scanned. Some applications can only allow one device to be connected, but some others can do multiple devices. It is better when the application can connect to multiple devices so that users can control the movement and condition of the other family member, for example, to track their children while using the GPS watches for kids.

Why is my Smartwatch not connecting to my phone?
The issues of smartwatches that are not connected to a smartphone can be caused when these situations occur:

• Poor internet connection
• Low memory
• Not an updated operating system
• Not a compatible devices
• They are not allowing permission.

A standard error in operating smartwatches

• Not turning on the notification. Sometimes users are clumsy enough to forget the notification setting because not all applications and devices automatically have the notification on, so users need to get it set first. By allowing the notification, smartwatches and the application can read all the notifications the users receive, including personal information such as contacts, messages, and emergency alerts. If users do not feel so much comfortable receiving all information and notification, they can always control the notification setting on which types of notifications they only want to receive. Allowing notifications, especially the important ones, can improve users' devices' performance.
• Connect to multiple devices. Smartwatches sometimes do not function well on the equipment because they are connected to multiple devices, especially when all devices are connected with Bluetooth, like an airport and wireless speaker. With Bluetooth 5, the newer generation of Bluetooth, users might be able to connect a maximum of two devices at once.
