Your video was SUPER helpful. I lost the manual and was having the darndest time trying to link a new phone to the watch. Thanks to your video, I'm back up and running. Thank you so much!
I've had this watch about 10 days. Paid $39.00 on Amazon. There was no bluetooth calling option listed. The messaging worked well for a few days. Now no messages appear, even with the bluetooth enabled. Restarted the watch several times, but no success. As far as the watch faces go, you can make a personal watch face from pictures on your phone gallery. One cool feature. Havent tried any of the workouts yet, but a pretty basic fitness watch.
If anyone finds one that has HR readings more frequently for about $60 or less, I'd appreciate you letting me know. Got this one today and just not loving how infrequently it updates my HR, but I have it on the 5 minutes setting. I know I can click and have it update, but I have POTS and would like to just glance at it to see how I'm doing. Thanks!
I just bought mine and it vibrates with who’s calling and a reject and mute button just like it says on Amazon. It says that you can not talk just mute or reject.
Thank you for confirming that the H80 does not have bluetooth calling. I was looking everywhere for it because it advertises this feature. Ughh! Thankfully, I only paid $8. I love the battery life that it lasts 5 to 7 days, which is much better than another smartwatch that I had. The BP is not accurate at all. It measures way lower than a cuff BP device. What about music? Can you play music through the H80, or only controls the music on your phone? Does it have a speaker? It's a great looking watch and slim. If it had calling, it would be a fantastic watch!
I think it depends on where you buy it and what claims they make in their advertising. It is not entirely rare that they get their specs wrong in their ads since they are simply reselling and don't actually know the device on a personal level. I actually open a dispute and return the device when that happens.
I purchased it from an Amazon overstock returns location, so there are no returns. Had I purchased it directly from Amazon and paid full price, $49, I would have definitely returned it. For $8, I won't complain.😊
@@DaveTheKayaker Actually, I uninstalled the app, reset the watch, and updated the software and it actually has bluetooth calling. At least the watch notifies me that the phone is ringing. There is a hang up and a mute option, but no option to actually answer the phone. Very weird. Now if I can figure out how to actually answer the phone from the watch, that would be great. Also, the BP and all other measurements seem to be more accurate too. :-)
Yes, unfortunately. A few of these smartwatches allow you to set the time from the watch itself, but not this one. Thank you for the kind words and for watching my reviews. I just dropped one more tonight and will drop another on Tuesday. After that I have 4 more smartwatches on the way to me so it will be a busy February of smartwatch reviews. And I still have the Samsung Galaxy 4 on deck for a review that I will eventually get to. It is just taking me a while to learn the Samsung ecosystem. Plus the weather is warming so I'll be back on the water for my main passion--kayaking! What watch would you like to see me review?
How to make my H80 smartwatch appear messages? Because right now I'm having a problem where it appear NO MESSAGE on my watch. I'm using iOS. It should be no problem right?
Did you scan the QR code with your phone to connect the two? The messages will show, but I'm using an Android. However, it should work for Apple devices. Afterwards, make sure you set the notifications in the app. Hope this helps.

I noticed when i move my wrist the screen lights up an i able to turn that off. It keeps lighting up
I have not found where you can shut that off, only where you can dim the display
Are there any in app purchases to use any of its features step tracking, sleep, etc?
No
Does it have alarm clock to set on the watch itself or just a reminder of the ones set on the phone?
It does have a vibration alarm, that you set thru the DA FIT on your phone.
How to keep the screen from blacking out after a couple of seconds?
You can change it from the app!!
Where do K get the H80 ap? It doesn't show up in Play Store or anywhere else.
The app for it is called Da Fit. At least that's what mine says.
If you get a call does the call pop up to accept or reject? Does it have find my phone? Ty
This device is falsely advertised. It does not have bluetooth calling, even though it says it. That is very disappointing.

How do you set the time on this watch?
Synch it with your phone.
@@DaveTheKayaker Thank you!! that means I absolutely HAVE TO download the app, right? Love all you reviews btw.

I've looked EVERYWHERE and cannot find where I can set the correct time...any suggestions, anyone?
Synch it with your phone. It pulls the time from your phone.

I don't get mine either...

I did get messages and then it just stopped. Don't know why. Cannot figure it out. Frustrating 😡!!
How do you turn off the screen at night to sleep?? Uuugh
Turn off the lift your wrist feature.
I can't find that feature anywhere!?@@DaveTheKayaker
