The Amazfit GTS watch is a stylish and functional smartwatch that offers a plethora of features, including activity tracking, heart rate monitoring, and sleep analysis. But before you can dive into these features, you need to make sure your watch is displaying the correct time. This guide will walk you through the simple steps of how to set time in your Amazfit GTS watch, ensuring you’re always on schedule.
Getting Started: Initial Setup
When you first receive your Amazfit GTS watch, it’s likely in a factory setting. You’ll need to perform an initial setup to establish your time zone and other preferences.
1. Powering Up: Press and hold the side button on your watch to turn it on.
2. Connecting to Your Phone: Download the Amazfit app on your smartphone (available for both Android and iOS). Open the app and follow the on-screen instructions to pair your watch with your phone via Bluetooth.
3. Setting Time: Once connected, the app will automatically detect your phone’s time zone and set your watch accordingly.
Adjusting the Time Manually
While the automatic time setting is convenient, there might be instances where you need to adjust the time manually. Here’s how to do it:
1. Accessing the Settings: On your watch, swipe down from the top of the screen to access the quick settings menu.
2. Navigating to Time: Scroll through the settings menu until you find the “Time” option.
3. Setting the Time: Tap on “Time” and use the watch’s touch screen to adjust the hour and minute settings.
4. Confirming the Change: Once you’ve set the desired time, confirm your changes by tapping the “OK” button.
Understanding Time Zones
The Amazfit GTS watch automatically adjusts its time to match your phone’s time zone. However, if you travel frequently or live in a location with multiple time zones, you may need to manually adjust the time zone on your watch.
1. Accessing Time Zone Settings: Open the Amazfit app on your phone and navigate to the “Device” section.
2. Selecting Time Zone: Within the “Device” settings, locate the “Time Zone” option. You can either select your current time zone from the list or manually input the desired time zone.
3. Syncing the Time Zone: After selecting the time zone, the app will sync the new setting with your watch.
Utilizing the 12/24 Hour Format
The Amazfit GTS watch allows you to choose between a 12-hour and 24-hour clock display. This preference is easily adjustable:
1. Accessing Display Settings: On your watch, swipe down from the top of the screen to access the quick settings menu. Scroll through the menu and select “Display.”
2. Selecting Time Format: Within the “Display” settings, you’ll find the option to switch between 12-hour and 24-hour format. Select your preferred format.
Troubleshooting Time Issues
If you encounter any issues with your watch’s time, here are some troubleshooting steps:
1. Check Your Phone’s Time: Ensure your phone’s time is set correctly. The watch automatically syncs with your phone’s time zone.
2. Restart Your Watch: Sometimes a simple restart can fix minor glitches. Press and hold the side button until the watch power off menu appears. Select “Restart” and wait for the watch to reboot.
3. Re-Pair Your Watch: If the time issue persists, try re-pairing your watch with your phone. Unpair your watch from the Amazfit app, then re-pair it by following the initial setup steps.
4. Update the App and Firmware: Outdated apps and firmware can sometimes cause time inconsistencies. Make sure you have the latest versions of both the Amazfit app and your watch’s firmware.
Time for a Time-Saving Tip: Auto Time Zone Detection
For those who travel frequently, the Amazfit GTS watch offers a handy feature: auto time zone detection. This feature automatically adjusts the watch’s time zone based on your location.
1. Enabling Auto Time Zone: Open the Amazfit app and navigate to the “Device” section. Find the “Auto Time Zone” setting and toggle it on.
2. Location Services: Ensure that your phone has location services enabled. This allows the app to accurately detect your time zone based on your GPS location.
