Why does the GPS take a long time to find my location?
Your surroundings such as buildings can delay the GPS connection and may take anywhere between 2-5 minutes. You can improve the speed of GPS connection by activating the Assisted GPS within the Reflex Active APP.
Select ‘Smartwatch settings’ within the Reflex Active APP and select ‘A-GPS’. This will use the phone’s GPS feature and relay this to the watch.
Note, you can use the watch without the smartphone to track your GPS activity once GPS is connected.
Can I share my activity on Strava?
Yes, you can share your activity on Strava by selecting the Strava logo at the top right corner of the activity data within the Reflex Active APP.
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?

CAN I HAVE 2 WATCHES CONNECTED AT THE SAME TIME?

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.
