2.9 Huawei Watch_What is Zirconia? Zirconia is a high quality, durable, hard, and optically clear synthetic crystalline substance. It is a man-made diamond-like material and usually colorless, but can be produced in a variety of different colors. Zirconia was first produced in a laboratory in the 1970s, where scientists discovered its great potential for the jewelry industry.
2.10 Huawei Watch_What is Swarovski Zirconia? Although Swarovski is renowned for precision-cut crystal, the company has been cutting genuine gemstones and created stones for many decades. In 1976, Swarovski started to cut zirconia, being the first company on the market to offer a machine-cut exponent of this synthetic stone. Ever since, Swarovski Zirconia has been known as the most precisely cut zirconia on the market, available in a wide variety of exquisite shapes, sizes, and colors.

2.11 Huawei Watch_What makes Swarovski Zirconia so special? Across the globe, the name Swarovski is synonymous with the art of precision cutting. The company is also famous for its revolutionary zirconia cut: the Pure Brilliance cut. For the first time in history, Swarovski managed to cut zirconia that was as brilliant as diamonds. By strictly adhering to the exacting standards for grading diamond cut quality from the Gemological Institute of America (GIA), the world's foremost authority on diamonds, Swarovski was able to develop a cut to rival the Tolkowsky diamond—the most brilliant diamond cut in the world. This makes the Pure Brilliance Swarovski Zirconia the most diamond-like Zirconia that is available on the market today. It is exclusively cut by Swarovski in Austria and complies with the country's high social and environmental manufacturing standards.
2.12 Huawei Watch_Is Swarovski Zirconia a synthetic diamond? Swarovski Zirconia is not a synthetic diamond, but it is commonly known as a diamond imitation. The difference between the two lies in their chemical properties. Synthetic diamonds are an exact replication of natural diamonds, except that they are created in a laboratory instead of being mined. Diamond imitations, on the other hand, are materials that visually resemble natural diamonds but do not necessarily share the same chemical characteristics, such as genuine gemstones like topaz or rock crystal, or created stones like Swarovski Zirconia or Swarovski Crystal.
2.13 Huawei Watch_How does Swarovski Zirconia compare to diamonds? Pure Brilliance Swarovski Zirconia is the most diamond-like Zirconia on the market—an excellent diamond imitation for use in jewelry. The two materials share a great number of similarities and are very difficult to distinguish from one another. The very high refractive index and perfect cut of Swarovski Zirconia imitate the brilliance and fire of the purest diamonds. However, diamonds are naturally occurring gemstones, whereas Swarovski Zirconia is made in a laboratory. Diamonds are the hardest minerals that exist with a hardness of 10 on the Mohs scale. Swarovski Zirconia is still very hard, reaching a rating of 8.5. In jewelry, Swarovski Zirconia is used in rings, necklaces, pendants, earrings, and bracelets and is often set in precious metals, just like natural diamonds. Swarovski Zirconia is also used in other industries, including eyewear, consumer electronics, and writing instruments.
2.14 Huawei Watch_Doesn't Swarovski only cut crystals? The Swarovski brand stands for more than crystals. It represents the mastery of light and cutting technology, creative innovation, and above all, tradition. These values also apply to

the Swarovski Gemstones Business, Swarovski's unit for genuine gemstones and created stones.
2.15 Huawei Watch_How does Swarovski Zirconia compare to Swarovski Crystal? Swarovski Zirconia and Swarovski Crystal are both exquisite materials that have inspired a countless number of jewelry makers to create stunning designs. However, as there are various differences between the two, they are used for different purposes and cater to different needs. Swarovski Zirconia is very hard, heat resistant, and refracts light just like a diamond. These characteristics make it the most popular diamond imitation. It is almost always set in gold or silver and mostly used for bridge jewelry, watches, eyewear, and lifestyle electronics. Swarovski Crystal, on the other hand, is softer and less refractive and therefore different application techniques are used. It is a very popular material for costume jewelry and fashion and adds a glamorous sparkle to any design.
2.16 Huawei Watch_What is topaz? Topaz is a genuine gemstone that is generally found as a naturally clear, white stone. Topaz is a durable gemstone with good resistance to daily wear and tear, and a hardness of 8 on the Mohs scale.
2.17 Huawei Watch_Why should I choose jewelry that has been set with topaz? Natural: Topaz is a genuine gemstone with all the properties of a natural material. In addition, Swarovski's color palette is crafted with the use of Thermo Color Fusion (TCF™), an environmentally friendly process. Beauty: The new Natural Brilliance cut for Swarovski Genuine Topaz has 57 facets, which maximize the brilliance of each gemstone and bring out the best in any jewelry. Brand: With more than 100 years of experience in cutting and polishing stones, Swarovski guarantees quality, reliability, competence, and creativity. The strength of the Swarovski brand can be found within each of our products.
2.18 What makes Swarovski Genuine Topaz with the Natural Brilliance cut so special? Our new Natural Brilliance cut gives Swarovski Genuine Topaz more brilliance and fire than any other standard topaz cuts currently available on the market.

Another special feature of Swarovski Genuine Topaz is its environmentally-friendly coloring process, Thermo Color Fusion (TCF™), a special process which does not involve radiation treatment. TCF™ enables an array of exciting colors without causing damage to the stone or posing a health threat. TCF™ is a specially patented heat treatment which offers supreme color consistency and contains no radiation. It enables an enhancement and transformation of the White Pure Brilliance Zirconia, providing an array of fashionable colors that offer exciting possibilities for contemporary designs.
2.19 Huawei Watch_Why does topaz need to be treated? What is the environmentally friendly coloring process? Natural topaz is generally found as a clear white stone, and therefore needs to be treated in order to create different colors. The color enhancement of gemstones is a common practice in the industry, and not just for topaz. However, some processes are detrimental to the environment. The Thermo Color Fusion (TCF™) treatment is an innovative and environmentally-friendly surface enhancement process that is patented both in Austria and the United States. Offering a much wider variety of colors than the traditional radiation treatment, TCF™ has proven to be permanent, without affecting the quality of the gemstones.
2.20 Huawei Watch_How can I be sure that the watch I purchased is set with Swarovski Genuine Topaz? The special "Made with SWAROVSKI GEMSTONES" tag identifies products created and crafted by a selected partner of Swarovski and assures you that you are buying an authentic, high-quality product set with Swarovski Genuine Topaz.

5.27 Huawei Watch_Why do I still receive incoming call notifications on my watch when the Android Wear app shows it has disconnected?

6.2 Huawei Watch_What factors affect the accuracy of the step count? The Huawei Watch features a state-of-the-art 6-axis motion sensor to ensure an accurate step count. However, you may notice the following step count discrepancies in some circumstances: 1.
Step count is too low. Compared to other products, the Huawei Watch is less susceptible to generating invalid data when you are at your desk, moving your arms, eating, or brushing your teeth. Other products may therefore display an artificially high step count.
2.
Step count is too high. Even when you aren’t exercising, you may still move your arms or body from time to time. If this done with a regular rhythm over a long period of time, your watch’s motion sensor may erroneously detect this as walking activity and increase the step count.
3.
Steps are not recorded. The watch will not record step data when you only walk a few steps, which may result in very small discrepancies. This is an issue that affects all step counters.
You may notice a discrepancy between your watch step count and phone step count: 1.
Both your watch and phone may occasionally generate invalid step data. However, as your watch and phone are not subjected to exactly the same movements, invalid data generated by your watch may not be recorded on your phone (and vice versa). Discrepancies will also vary between users depending on individual movements.
2.
Both your watch and phone record step data using the built-in A+G sensor that measure the back-and-forth motion in your hips. However, as phones are normally placed in a pocket or bag, and watches are worn on your wrist, the thresholds for detecting movement are slightly different. Tests have shown that the Huawei Watch provides accurate step data for a variety of different activities, such as walking, running, jogging, and climbing stairs. If a user reports regular data inaccuracies, please send usage information, benchmark details, phone model, app version, and watch version to a senior engineer.
6.3 Huawei Watch_Why does my watch sometimes detect the wrong activity state (running)? Why is the step count on my watch sometimes different from the actual number of steps? The watch's counting algorithm is designed to record approximate data over longer periods of exercise. Please exercise for longer before viewing data. Switching activities after a short period of time may also affect the accuracy of step counts.

Please remain static when measuring your heart rate. Heart rate readings should not be used for medical purposes.
6.6 Huawei Watch_How does the Huawei Watch measure my heart rate? The Huawei Watch comes with a cutting-edge heart rate monitor that calculates your heart rate by monitoring your pulse. The heart rate monitor should not be used for medical purposes.
6.7 Huawei Watch_What can affect the heart rate monitor's accuracy? If the watch fails to detect your heart rate or displays variant readings over a short period of time, follow the steps below:
Ensure that you have removed the transparent protective film on the back of the watch.
Ensure that the back of the watch is clean and dry and that there are no objects between the back of the watch and your wrist.
Check that you are wearing the watch properly. The watch should sit comfortably on your wrist. Do not wear the watch too tight or too loose.
Keep your wrist still and avoid shaking it when measuring your heart rate.

The watch uses a state-of-the-art AMOLED display which is susceptible to damage if the same screen pixels are constantly lit.
AMOLED displays offer excellent contrast and bright colors. Huawei will continue to improve AMOLED technology to bring users the best possible experience.
10.15 Huawei Watch_Why the watch screen is flickering when it is in ambient mode? Some third-party watch faces (non-official ones that you downloaded on your own) do not follow standard design regulations and have an oversized white area on the screen. Therefore, when your watch is in standby mode, the screen looks like it is flickering. To solve this issue, use the watch faces that come with your watch or download official watch faces from the Google Play Store. If you are using a pre-installed watch face but your watch is not the latest version, you are recommended to update it to the latest one.

11.3 Huawei Watch_What is the watch usage time and standby time? Why is the battery life shorter than with other watches？ The watch uses a 300 mAh lithium battery manufactured by a leading brand. The battery typically lasts 1.5 days with normal use, including 24 working hours and 8 resting hours. Watch battery life depends on battery capacity and usage. If you install lots of third-party apps or use watch features intensively, this will reduce the standby time. During a 24-hour working period, the watch can perform the following typical tasks:
Wake up the screen 6 times/hour
Receive 20 notifications/hour
Initiate 5 calls/hour
Reject 15 calls
Answer 30 calls
Remain on standby for the remaining time (with Always-on screen enabled)
The following tips can help improve battery life: A. Disable unnecessary app notifications Method 1: Go to the settings screen in the Android Wear app. Under Block app notifications, select those apps for which notifications should be disabled. Method 2: Swipe right on the screen when you receive a notification message and touch Block app to disable notifications for that app. B. Disable the Always-on screen feature
A full charge takes approximately 90 minutes. Please charge the watch in advance if you think the battery might run out.
Watch battery life depends on battery capacity, watch features and usage. For example, a watch with a color screen uses more power than an e-ink screen. Likewise, smart watches use more power than ordinary electronic watches. Frequent use of smart watch features will also increase power consumption.
The typical usage scenarios above are for reference purposes only.
11.4 Huawei Watch_What are the charger specifications? Please use the standard charger included with your Huawei Watch. If you need to purchase a new charger, the Huawei Watch supports the following charging voltages/currents: 5 V/0.5 A, 5 V/1 A, 5 V/1.5 A, 5 V/2 A.

11.9 Huawei Watch_Why does the watch get warm when it is charging？ The CPU and watch components continue to operate when the watch is charging, therefore the temperature of the watch may increase slightly; this is entirely normal.
The watch will become warm if you use it while it is charging, and the charging time will increase. Charge the watch in a well-ventilated area and avoid using apps for prolonged periods when the watch is charging.
When the watch has finished charging, allow it to cool down before putting it back onto your wrist.
11.10 Huawei Watch_Why won't the charging icon disappear even when my watch is fully charged? 1.
The charging icon indicates that your watch is connected to a charger. Therefore, the charging icon will not disappear when your watch is still connected to the charger, even when it is fully charged. This is a universal design pattern for watches and smartphones in the industry.
2.
We will optimize the charging icon in subsequent versions and produce a solution so that you can tell whether your watch is fully charged.
11.11 Huawei Watch_When charging my watch, why is a crossed-out battery icon displayed? First, check that the watch is connected to the charger properly and that it can power on. If the watch is able to power on, wait until its battery is drained, and then try charging again. If the watch will not power on and a crossed-out battery icon is displayed even after hours of charging, please contact your local service center to arrange for a replacement device or refund.
11.12 Huawei Watch_Will playing music or making calls on my watch consume a lot of battery power? Yes. Playing music or making calls on your watch will consume a lot of battery power and shorten the standby time. Your watch has a standby time of 4 to 5 hours if you continuously play music or make calls. To reduce power consumption, lower the volume.

13 Product Maintenance
Ensure that the metal ridge on the clasp remains within the adjustable area marked on the strap.
Do not attempt to secure the clasp outside of the adjustable area. This may cause irreparable damage to the strap.
If it feels like you need to use force to secure the clasp, adjust the strap slightly and then try again.
13.2 Huawei Watch_How waterproof/dustproof is my watch? Can I wear it while swimming or diving? The Huawei Watch has an IP67 water and dust resistance rating, meaning that you can use it when washing your hands, cooking, washing your car, or when it is raining. However, the watch is not designed for swimming, diving, or prolonged submersion in water.
13.3 Huawei Watch_How should I clean and care for my watch? Keep the watch and your wrist clean and dry and wipe off any sweat after exercising. Clean your watch regularly using a soft cloth. Regularly use a soft brush to remove any dust or dirt that becomes trapped around the watch face crystals.

If you purchased a watch with the stainless steel mesh strap, do not attempt to bend the strap, as this may cause irreparable damage.
13.4 Huawei Watch_In what scenarios will my watch become warm? Your watch may overheat when charging if it is not well ventilated or if it is exposed to high temperatures. For example, if you charge your watch when it is wrapped in clothing, placed under a pillow, or exposed to direct sunlight or ambient temperatures of over 40°C, the watch/charging cradle may overheat and your watch will not charge properly.
13.5 Huawei Watch_Is the watch scratch-resistant?
The Huawei Watch is housed inside a cold-forged 316L stainless steel bezel. This type of stainless steel is 40% stronger than conventional stainless steel with excellent scratch-resistant properties.
The watch display is protected by a layer of scratch-resistant sapphire crystal (synthetically produced crystal). However, avoid dropping the watch or exposing it to strong impacts. Do not allow the watch face to come into contact with sharp objects. For example, avoid scratching the face with a knife or against a rock.
The strap on the Elegant/Jewel/Topaz models features a gold alloy coating. Gold alloy is a relatively soft material and should be kept away from hard materials and surfaces such as diamond, corundum, oxidized metals, quartz crystal, stones, sandpaper, nail files, knives, and concrete walls.
13.6 Huawei Watch_How can I avoid scratching the watch ？
The Huawei Watch has passed stringent scratch-resistant tests. All watches are shipped with a protective film.
The watch is designed to withstand impacts during normal everyday use. However, do not allow the watch to come into contact with sharp objects such as keys and other metal objects that may scratch the watch.
Avoid impacts with metal objects or hard materials. Care for your watch in the same way you would care for your phone.
13.7 Huawei Watch_Why does the leather strap crease？ It is normal for the leather strap to crease during use. All leather straps are molded at a high temperature before delivery. When you wear the strap, it will bend to fit the shape of your wrist, which will extend the fibers in the leather. Creases will appear when you take the strap off and bend the leather. This is entirely normal.

13.8 Huawei Watch_How should I care for my leather strap?
Pull the strap carefully when putting your watch on to reduce wear and tear.
Keep your leather strap in a dry, well-ventilated area and wipe it dry immediately after exposure to water. Use a tissue or soft cotton cloth to wipe dust off the strap.
Avoid wearing the watch in hot or rainy weather or when swimming, taking a shower, or exercising for prolonged periods. Wipe off any water or dirt using a clean cloth or tissue. Place the strap in a cool, well-ventilated area to dry and then apply a layer of leather polish.
Do not dry the strap by placing it in direct sunlight or by using heating appliances such as microwaves or hairdryers, otherwise it may shrink/expand.
Avoid contact with rough or sharp objects to prevent damage to your strap.
Do not compress the strap or bend it for prolonged periods, otherwise it may change shape.
Keep the watch strap away from flammable, acidic, and alkaline materials. Natural marks or imperfections on the leather are not covered by the warranty.
Do not pull the strap too tight to prevent creases. Do not bend the strap in the wrong direction, as this will result in creases or cracks in the leather.
Do not attempt to punch holes in the strap yourself. Failure to apply protective oil after punching holes will cause the strap to crack.
Apply a thin layer of vaseline to the strap during the autumn/winter. Wipe the strap dry using a soft cloth and then apply the vaseline. Reapply the vaseline after approximately one week.
13.9 Huawei Watch_ Will the watch crystals become dislodged or crack? The crystals used on the Huawei Watch are embedded into the watch case in a 4-prong setting and will not normally become dislodged or crack, provided that the watch is not exposed to strong impacts.
13.10 Huawei Watch_Is the leather strap water-resistant? The leather strap must not be exposed to water or sweat for prolonged periods, such as when swimming, taking a shower, or exercising during rainy weather, otherwise the strap may develop an unpleasant odor, lose its soft texture, or become deformed or cracked. Ensure that you care for your strap during day-to-day use.
13.11 Huawei Watch_How do I remove water stains or dirt from the leather strap? If there are water stains or dirt on your strap, follow the steps below:

13.12 Huawei Watch_How should I clean and care for light-colored straps? If you watch has a light-colored strap, do not allow it to come into contact with dark-colored clothing, otherwise the strap may discolor.

Check that there is no dirt or corrosion on the metal charging contacts or the charging cradle pins.
Check that the pins on the charging cradle are intact.
It is recommended that you plug the cradle into the back of your watch then check to see if the charging icon is displayed. If you cannot see the charging icon, you may need to wiggle the cradle until contact is established and the charging icon appears.
If you encounter any of the issues above and cannot rectify them by yourself, take your watch to your local Huawei service center.
14.3 Huawei Watch_Why does the watch drain the battery so quickly? If the battery life is short, follow the steps below:
Check whether you have installed third-party apps or watch faces such as wearADay. Third-party watch faces are not approved by Google and can drain the battery very quickly when in ambient mode.
If you find that you often wake the screen unintentionally when lifting or tilting your wrist, open the Android Wear app and touch to open the settings screen. Under DEVICE SETTINGS, select the connected Huawei Watch and turn off Tilt to wake screen.
On Android phones, you can open the Android Wear app and touch to open the settings screen. Under DEVICE SETTINGS, select the connected Huawei Watch, and then touch Watch battery to view detailed battery statistics. If a third-party app is using too much battery, try uninstalling it and see if your watch's battery life improves.
If none of the above are effective, follow the troubleshooting steps below:
Check that the phone paired with the watch has a working Internet connection and that it can access Google PlayTM.
Check if the watch is connected to other devices. Swipe left on the watch's home screen and touch Settings > Bluetooth devices to view the connection log.
Check whether Wi-Fi is enabled on the watch. Swipe left on the watch's home screen and touch Settings > Wi-Fi settings > Wi-Fi. If this setting is set to Automatic, then Wi-Fi

Check that the watch is in the correct position on the charging cradle and fully connected to the charging pins.
Check that there are no foreign objects on the charging cradle or metal contacts. In addition, check that there is no sign of corrosion on the metal contacts and ensure that the charging pins are not bent.
If the charging cradle or metal contacts are damaged, contact your local Huawei service center.
14.5 Huawei Watch_Why don't I receive push notifications when my phone is locked？ Push notifications are sent to your watch via the Android Wear app. Ensure that your watch is paired with your phone via Bluetooth, then check that the Android Wear app has been added to the Protected apps list.

If you need to adjust the size of your watch strap, take it to a specialist shop (such as a Huawei Watch retailer or a watch shop). Do not attempt to adjust the strap yourself.
14.11 Huawei Watch_Why does the watch case look so thick？
The watch case is 11.3 mm thick and contains over 260 components. A certain amount of space is needed due to the large number of components and the complicated manufacturing process.
A thick watch case is also a trendy design feature seen on many other watches.
The watch has been designed based on current trends in watch fashion. Huawei has signed a partnership with two of the world's biggest fashion icons - Victoria's Secret supermodel Karlie Kloss and male supermodel Sean O'Pry – to market the Huawei Watch to a global audience.
14.12 Huawei Watch_Why is the Huawei Watch so expensive？

The classic circular design provides a comfortable wearing experience.
Huawei provides a selection of stylish watch straps to suit a variety of different occasions.
14.13 Huawei Watch_Why are the watch's vibrations so weak？
The watch's vibrations come from a cutting-edge motor that is built into the watch case. Due to the small size of wearable devices, the motor is relatively small.

temperature may exceed your skin temperature when it is charging or when you download or update apps. Remove the watch when performing these operations and wait for it to cool down before putting it back on.
Avoid using the watch in direct sunlight or high temperatures to prevent the watch from becoming hot and causing discomfort.
14.15 Huawei Watch_Why does the watch get warm when the screen is off？ Normally, the phone only consumes a small amount of power when the screen is off, therefore it is unlikely to become warm. Remember to close the Android Wear app on your watch after use to prevent third-party apps from running in the background and resulting in high CPU usage or excessive power consumption.
14.16 Huawei Watch_Why does the watch get warm during OTA updates？ CPU usage increases during OTA updates in order to speed up the update process. This will cause the watch's temperature to increase, which is entirely normal.
Before updating, remove the watch from your wrist and ensure that there is sufficient battery power remaining.
Place the watch in a well-ventilated area when performing an update and wait for it to cool down before putting it back on.
14.17 Huawei Watch_Why does the watch get warm during a factory reset or when syncing via Bluetooth？ CPU usage increases when you perform a factory reset or sync data via Bluetooth. This causes the watch's temperature to increase. Depending on the amount of data synced and time it takes to complete the syncing process, the watch's temperature may exceed the temperature of your skin. This is entirely normal. Before performing a factory reset or syncing data, remove the watch from your wrist and place it in a well-ventilated area.

14.18 Huawei Watch_What features does the watch support when the temperature is lower than 0 °C or above 35 °C？
When the temperature is lower than 0 °C or above 35 °C, some of the watch's features may not be available. For example, you may not be able to charge the watch, or the sensor's accuracy may decrease.
In extreme temperatures (below –10 °C or above +55 °C), the touchscreen may malfunction. This can result in irreversible damage.
Avoid prolonged use in extremely hot, cold or humid environments.
14.19 Huawei Watch_Why does the watch only recognize a few voice commands when it is not connected to the Internet via my phone？ The watch needs to connect to Google servers in order to recognize your voice commands. If the watch is not connected to the Internet via your phone, it will not be able to connect to Google servers and will only recognize "Ok Google". All other voice commands will be ineffective.
14.20 Huawei Watch_Why does the Offline icon appear when I say "Ok Google"？ There are two possible reasons for the Offline icon appearing on the watch when you say "Ok Google".
If your watch is not paired with your phone via Bluetooth or your phone is not connected to the Internet, your watch will only be able to recognize the "Ok Google" voice command. No other voice commands will be recognized, therefore the Offline icon will be displayed.
If your watch is paired with your phone and your phone is connected to the Internet, the Offline icon may appear when the Internet connection is slow or intermittent, or when the watch is syncing a large amount of data from your phone.
14.21 Huawei Watch_Why is there a large discrepancy between heart rate measurements after a period of strenuous exercise?

14.32 Huawei Watch_Why is the audio quality so poor when I make a Bluetooth call using my watch? There are many factors which can affect audio quality in a call, including the signal reception of either phone, or wireless interference. It is normal for there to be occasional problems with audio quality. Bluetooth is a close-range, low radiation wireless technology.

To ensure optimal audio quality, it is recommended that you disconnect your watch from your iPhone before connecting a Bluetooth headset, speaker, or car kit.
