Melissa in Australia Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 my neighbour gave me a smart watch. I can't work out how to start it.. It has green lights underneath after I charged it. So I think it is charged. I put it on my wrist.. Then pressed the button on the side. It sort of of vibrated . And that was it. The screen remained black.. Nothing happened at all. No time or home menue or any of the things the very brief instructions mentioned.. How do I get it to turn on? Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LifeLovePassion Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 Is there a button on the side? Ours you have to do a long hold press to get it to power up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LifeLovePassion Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 Does it have a phone app you can download to see the watch status. Probably around 5 seconds. Do you know what brand it is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melissa in Australia Posted September 21, 2023 Author Share Posted September 21, 2023 I just watched a few garmin YouTube clips and the watch doesn't seem to be doing anything like what I saw was meant to happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
