WHY IS THE BLUETOOTH FAILING TO CONNECT?
There are a few possible causes to this problem.
a. Please check your Smartphone meets the requirements: Android 9.0 and above version, iOS 12.0 and above version.
b. Please ensure you have the latest version of the Reflex Active app.
c. Make sure the device (screen) is switched ON.
d. Make sure the Smartphone Bluetooth is switched ON.
e. Make sure your Smartwatch is within 10 meters of your Smartphone.
f. Make sure you allow access to your location from the app (this will automatically pop-up when you start the app).
WHY IS BLUETOOTH DISCONNECTING OFTEN?
Please ensure the device is within 10 meters of the Smartphone to avoid the Bluetooth disconnection. Reset Bluetooth connection by disconnecting and reconnecting from your smartphone. Bluetooth connection can be lost if your phone is in stand-by or low power modes.
WHY IS THE BLUETOOTH SYNCHRONISATION UNSUCCESSFUL?
Ensure the Bluetooth connection is live and has not timed out. To sync the data, open the app and it will sync automatically or you can swipe the home-page of the app to refresh. GPS sport data may take slightly longer to sync to app. Close the app from background run, re-open it again, Bluetooth connection will automatically connect, then you can sync the sport data again.
HOW DO I CONNECT MY WATCH IN THE CAR?
If your car is compatible with Bluetooth devices and you wish to make or receive a call, please ensure within the app settings> notifications that you have turned off ‘other apps’. This will ensure there is no disruption to the call.
WHERE IS MY SLEEP DATA?
The device is designed with auto- sleep detection from 21pm-8am the next day. Your sleep data will be visible after 8am for the previous night’s sleep. It is essential to wear the device on your wrist when you fall to sleep. Please check your device has sufficient battery life for the night, sleep data will not be saved if the device switches off in the night due to lack of battery.
WHY IS MY WATCH NOT RECORDING STEPS?
The watch uses sensors called accelerometers; these detect wrist movement in order to measure step count. Therefore, some movements such as pushing a pram, shopping trolley or walking a dog may not fully record the step count as the watch sensors cannot pick up the 'walking' motion.In order for the full step count to be recorded on the app, you must go into the Reflex active app and sync the watch. This needs to be carried out on a daily basis, failure to do so will result in the full steps count not pulling through on the app. The continuous steps will not be visible on the tracker itself, you will only be able to see the step count for that day as it resets to 0 at midnight.
WHY ARE MY NOTIFICATIONS NOT COMING THROUGH ON MY WATCH?
Please ensure the Smartwatch & Smartphone are connected. Go to Setting - Notifications, then switch on the apps you want to push notifications to your Smartwatch. If the Reflex Active app you wish to send notifications to is not displayed, go to Settings - Notifications - Other app and switch on. Notifications will be pushed if the app itself is in use. If these steps do not solve the problem, then please restart the app.
To ensure notifications from other APPs work as required, you must allow notifications from your APPs settings. Your phone settings must also allow notification previews for the Reflex Active APP to relay these messages to your watch.
HOW DO I USE MY WATCH AS A SELFIE REMOTE?
Once connected to the app, the photo feature will be accessible via settings> take pictures. You will then be able to take an image on your camera phone by pressing the touch key on your watch, which is in the 'more' settings. The photo will then automatically save onto your phone gallery.
CAN I HAVE 2 WATCHES CONNECTED AT THE SAME TIME?
You are only able to connect one device at any one time to the app, but you can switch between the devices.
On the watch in the ‘More’ function there is an ‘about’ section. This has the reference code for that particular watch, it will begin with BT. This is the watch identity, each watch number is different.
In the app settings you have the option to disconnect the device. Select this to disconnect the 1st watch.
The option will then change to ‘connect device’. If you then select this, it will show you the available devices that you can pair to- your 2 watches.
You can then select the 2nd watch and this is what will then be visible in the app.
IS MY WATCH WATERPROOF?
Our Series 17 smartwatch is IP67 water resistance.

HOW DO I UPDATE THE LANGUAGE ON MY WATCH?

Performance graphs for activities are shown on the GRAPH icon at the bottom of your APP screen. The data from activities are also added to your HOME icon summary graphs.
WHAT IS AN ACCELEROMETER?
The watch uses sensors called accelerometers; these detect wrist movement in order to measure step count. Therefore, some movements such as pushing a pram, shopping trolley or walking a dog may not fully record the step count as the watch sensors cannot pick up the 'walking' motion.
FIND MY PHONE IS INTERMITTENT, WHY?
If your smart watch has the ‘find my phone’ feature, the APP must be running in the background on IOS for this to work. If the APP has been closed down, it will be unable to connect and therefore the feature will not function.
DOES THE MUSIC CONTROL FEATURE CONTINUE TO WORK WHILE WEARING EARBUDS/HEADPHONES?
Yes, your watch will control the music linked with your smartphone, and in turn will sync with any earbuds/headphones also connected to your smartphone.
GPS CONNECTIVITY AND THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ACTIVITY TRACKING STARTED ON WATCH AND ON APP
When starting the activity within the APP and connected to your watch, the APP will utilise the built in GPS capabilities of your phone to plot your route and activity data more accurately. When starting an activity from your watch, it will calculate all data using built in accelerometers to determine your data which is limited in accuracy.
Note Series 18 uses built in GPS technology and therefore neither of the above applies.
