Unfortunately it doen't.

I don't have a device "MTP". And this effect I have with all my devices. i tested it with Win7 (32bit), Win 8 (64bit) and with Win8.1

After connecting with a never used PC I get a message on the monitor like "Connecting" with somelike an installation of a driver. But thats all. After this first contact nothing more. No entry in the "Device Manager". Nothing.

I remember, that a few OS-versions of the watch fewer, it worked. But now nothing

Sorry

Oskar
[Other SmartWatches] v-angel:
sorry

sorry for my english.

i mean that you have to purchase the app from the appstore and install it both devices.at the watch and at the mobile.
[Other SmartWatches] kamillo:
;v-angel

Can you contact the watch to the phone with BT or WIFI only?
[Other SmartWatches] probstc:
I am not sure what is going on in your situation, as I have tried and successfully connected the watch to both Windows 7 and 8.1, 64 bit. As I indicated the device that appears in "Devices and Printers" page of the Control Panel is MTP,for a watch that has had debugging enabled, otherwise it appears as Android Tablet for watch that does not have debugging enabled. I am running the latest firmware on the watch (version 35 from March 25th). Good luck with your troubleshooting!

I ordered this watch about two weeks ago. It supposedly shipped the next day, but tracking has been less then helpful. Singpor tracking says the package was dispatched for over seas, USPS site has been stuck on origin post is preparing for shipment. I should have known better then taking the free shipping. Anyone got any idea how long it might take?

I had make some tests, install some updates on the PC and so on.

Now I have this effect:

I can see the watch in the "Devices and Printers" as "Android Tablet"

So far so good. But nothing in the explorer.

Any idea what to do now?

I wrote in a threath, that I have to install a additional driver by clicking right mouse an this device. But there isn't any possibility to install a driver.

[Other SmartWatches] BlastTyrantKM:
I had the same problem as you.. PC wouldn't detect the watch properly. I had to delete every Android driver currently on my PC. I thought I had deleted them all at one point, but my watch still didn't show up in Explorer. I did a further search and found an Android driver by ClockworkMod. After I deleted ClockworkMod Android Driver and rebooted my PC, the watch showed up in Explorer 1 minute after plugging it in.

Any one else having trouble with latest update v3.6?

[Other SmartWatches] Oskar_Sch:
Good hint. I will try it the next days and give answer.
[Other SmartWatches] probstc:
As I indicated in a previous post, you have to set "Debugging On" the Zwatch to be able to set the USB Composite Device driver and ultimately see the device in File Explorer. The fact that it shows up as "Android Tablet" means that you have not enabled debugging. To do so (at which point you will see a device called MTP) you have to go to Settings/About and tap a few times on the Model Number and you will get a message to that effect.
[Other SmartWatches] Oskar_Sch:
No, unfortunately not right. The watch has "Debugging On". I know that feature, but Ifound an other forum with Z-watch themes. They gave me the hint to delete all android drivers and restart the cleaned PC. That should work. So I will try this the next days.
[Other SmartWatches] drmpk:
Right. Remove all Android related drivers from pc and restart. Connect watch to pc (no need to enable anything). Pc should show watch in explorer as z watch. Drivers which were removed from pc can be added later one by one.

Watch Band Smart Q Z Watch

Hi,

I recently found a pebble watchband, the design is to make the watch and band better looking together.

I got one and stuck it on my smart Q, I reckon it looks pretty good. Much better than the orginal

I HAVE NO AFFILIATION, just a good product I think.

the website is www.richardtracybrand.com

Comes in leather and other colours

Again, I have nothing to do with the company.
[Other SmartWatches] Kuehnau:
Waste of money so far.

I am over all totally unimpressed with this watch. I ordered it from SmartQMe and it took about a month to get it in the mail. When I bought it they advertised that the watch would be compatible with my iPhone and iOS 7.0+

What I am finding out is my iPhone refuses to synch up with the watch via BlueTooth, it discovers it, but claims the watch is unsupported. The watch says it is paired with the phone, but does not upload any of the contacts or any other information. Because I can't pair the phone with the watch (and their app from iTunes is completely worthless!) I can't use ANY of the features the watch has advertised that I found even remotely useful.

I thought it was supposed to support WiFi but I am not finding ANY settings for actually connecting to WiFi.

Basically right now, I have a moderately expensive watch that basically does nothing for me. If anyone has any recommendations please let me know, there is practically NO information for this watch at all online.
[Other SmartWatches] titoodj:
Hi man! I bougth that smartwatch 2 months ago, thinking that it will be work with my iPhone 5s, but i have the same problem that you have. I resolve using the zwatch app. You have to open the APP, and looking into your smartwatch, settings - bluetooth , and then see that another BT point was created (something like zWatch (iphone) or something like that). Try to connect and you see how your iPhone will respond, BUT!, i have to say that using that smartwatch with iPhone is a waste of time. You cant do nothing. Only notifications, nothing more, is a waste of time and a waste of money. I dont know how smart Q say that the smartwatch is compatible with iPhone...

I hope i helped you :)
[Other SmartWatches] Kuehnau:
It sucks

No, you didn't. Frankly the watch is a piece of ****, at least for iPhone users. They make some promises that ultimately they don't keep. Further, SmartQme is kind of shady. Turns out I bought the "lite" version of the watch, the one with only 22mb of space and no WLAN module. They advertise the product using a different models advertising and then tossed some small don't text on there letting you know it's for comparison and that you are getting the cheap ass ****ty version.

So they advertised features I can't use and they were directly misleading (in my opinion) and am filing a dispute with Paypal to get my money back.

As far as the "real smartwatch" tag line goes, I doubt it. I didn't see anything impressive from this watch and it's hardly smart or useful. I'd rather spend more money on something that's actually useful instead of handicapped and worthless.
[Other SmartWatches] Kuehnau:
Got a refund.

It took PayPal less then an hour to decide to issue me a refund, even before SmartQme had a chance to respond. So there's that.
[Other SmartWatches] pox67:
Did you return it or just get a charge back from PAYPAL?
[Other SmartWatches] dersie:
Yes, on wifi it works like any other android device (phone or tablet, normal it is an android 4.4 device). Just connect on wifi network by setup the network security key. When connected you can do all you want, sync Kepp, GMail, mail, Calendar, weather, evernote, google task........

On wifi network ZWatch can works in standalone mode without phone. You can install app from app store if you install gapp or Rom like DJDroid or Skynet. Internet surf, instant messagerie.....
[Other SmartWatches] Kuehnau:
You didn't read what I wrote.

You didn't read what I said. Turns out they sell a model that has no WLAN, the only way to access any of it's extra features through phone access.

Further the model without the WLAN only has like 119mb of space formatted, so there's some firmware updates you can't install because there simply isn't enough space.

As for the refund? I filed a dispute through Paypal, they decided to issues a refund, but I need to return the package first. I got 10 days to provide a tracking number. I got no idea how much it's going to cost to ship it back.
[Other SmartWatches] drmpk:
Returning would be costly affair. But the shipment charges would be given back to you as a coupon which you can use to buy something else.

The model you have is the lite version of z watch. Its not as bad as you are thinking it is. Wifi is not of much use. Battery drains rapidly on wifi. Even without wifi you get all notifications from phone through bluetooth connection. Don't worry about small space available. You don't need large space for ota updates performed through the sync app on your phone. They would be approx 20 mb which the watch can handle. But if you download the whole firmware from smartq site and want to put it on watch and update larger space may be required. But again firmwares for lite version are smaller than 100 mb I suppose which again the watch can handle.

If you using the watch with iphone, then you are at loss. You may as well return and buy pebbel or wait for I watch. But again there are not many watches which can be used on closed source platform like ios except pebbel. On Android you can be sure it works as advertised at that price point.

As for installing custom firmware like djdroid, don't think it's possible, as they are not for lite version of watch. You would have to search custom firmwares for lite version.
[Other SmartWatches] Jamesch:
Warranty process?

Hello

Am I right in assuming that the watch being IPX7 is supposed to withstand being taken in the shower?

It is necessary to use the "allow mock location" function.

I updated a couple hours ago and now my watch won't connect to my phone. I don't know if this is typical for this update, tho.

EDIT - A factory reset got everything working... But it took several bonding attempts to get my phone & watch to pair.
[Other SmartWatches] pox67:
I had the same problem with pairing the devices after updating the ZWatch App on the phone.

I had to restart the phone and the watch and then pair them.

Then I updated the watch to v3.7

it is all working now.
[Other SmartWatches] pox67:
Oddly enough when I was having trouble pairing the devices it got to a stage where the phone wasn't paired but the watch thought it was, odd. At that point the watch had a settings icon next to the paired phone icon and in the settings button I was able to select Connect to Internet through Bluetooth.

Then I got the watch and phone paired properly and the setting icon disappeared :(

[Other SmartWatches] mjkall:
Yes, it is a bit higher than the original, but otherwise smaller. Actually it is higher in a restricted area and i put it horisontally and after 1 day the cover looks sealant, but i have not tested the waterresist, not even when the watch was new.

The new battery is much better. Now the watch runs a whole day if the voltagemeter is showing 30% in the morning. Before the replacement 30% batterylevel in the morning killed the watch after 1-2 hours. Maybe my original battery was faulty.

Bytheway, now i use full light in the screen and with BT on 3 days is normal.

New Battery option

I have been exploring the options for a new battery for this watch to give us longer time between chargers.

I have spoken with a few Chinese companies, one believes they have a solution.

Here is an extract from the latest email

"As per your size 6*28.8*33mm, we could make capacity 410mAh packing with PCB , in order to work out the detailed data sheet for your checking*, we need to get to know what is your working current and peak current ?"

Does anyone know the working and peak current? How would I find out?

Battery Update

Alright I have spoken to several Chinese suppliers. I can get batteries that will work with 480 mah

It is the right size, energy wise and cavity size. The problem is I need to order 1000 as a minimum

I'm afraid that wont work for us.
[Other SmartWatches] simple1i:
Yup they always hit you with that one. No worries. What about the 300 mah option that user Adro mentions (on the link I sent same post)?

not need...

Battery are not perfect, you can have 300mah, 280mah... with same battery.
[Other SmartWatches] newton123:
In my experience that is correct, especially with these, it is considered a general guide at best. I don't think a stated 20mah is worth cracking the back open so to speak.

---------- Post added at 08:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:33 AM ----------

If anyone is interested, here are the details of the 390mah, I know it says a minimum order of 10 but in reality it is 1000. Perhaps if someone else approaches them asking for 10 upfront it might be workable.

I think this battery should work, if you do get your hands on some I would like one sent to Aus, as always use at your own risk though

Let me know if anyone else has an opinion on the stats of the battery, always glad to be shown how I am wrong

[Other SmartWatches] dersie:
I work with Lipo batt since a lot of years for my RC Heli. On this domain it is a real scam with the seller.

They sell lipos with fake features. They do not hesitate to sell a 300mA as if it was a 500mA.

Otherwise we agree a margin of error of at least 10% capacity announced. So a little lipo sold for 300mA can be a 330mA or a 270mA but it is usually 270mA. If we really measure can be real to 250mA for a 350mA of sold.

So if you buy a 300mA hoping have more power, you can also have a less than original battery capacity.

Battery

Just bought this battery:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/171245040907?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649

450mha. It does fit in the watch (a slight bulge when screwing on the case).

Unfortunately the tight fit caused me to lose my vibration notification. I can still hear notification on my phone and an look on watch instead of taking phone out of my pocket.

I was only getting about 8 hours out of my old battery with average use ( disappointing)... I now get about 12 hours so a 50% increase in battery size is roughly getting me 50% more watch life.

Took about two weeks for the battery to arrive from China.

VERY little room to work with.. you need a VERY tiny soldering iron to get to the contacts on the board or cut the wires coming from the board to the battery and solder to the wires ( which is what I did). I taped the solder connections and between the tape and the tight fit when the case is screwed back on is what probably lost my vibration notification. For 50% more battery life it was worth it for me but still is disappointing the watch is sucking up so much juice...
[Other SmartWatches] drmpk:
Or is your vibrating motor in the watch got fried up due to some faulty voltage or current?
[Other SmartWatches] newton123:
There is a chance the watch may also not be waterproof with that battery.

Earlier measurements done with calipers show only 6mm clearance (including the space inside the battery cover) this battery is declared at 7mm so is probably/possibly somewhere between 6.5 and 7.5mm given the attention to "precision" coming from these factories.

All in all a great effort, I don't think I will try it, it only gives a few hours more and may have some really undesirable consequences.
[Other SmartWatches] dkirker:
I used this battery. It is too thick. I noticed that when I tightened the back, it pressed into the screen. I wonder if the board flexed when you tightened the back and it disconnected the vibrating motor? Try loosening the back a little?

For what it is worth, the watch will loose its water resistance with this battery. I suspect you will need to use an epoxy to close it up. I have thought of 3D printing a new back cover with more clearance.
[Other SmartWatches] drmpk:
OMG, 3d printing a new back cover? I dont think its all worth enough just to bump up the battery capacity a bit. I am actually comfortable with my watch's battery life. I dont meddle with it much. It just does its duty of showing me notifications. It just takes me through the day and by the end of 24 hrs, i will be left with 30% juice when i recharge. I am waiting for watches running android wear. Till then i have learned to be satisfied with this "worth every single penny spent on" gadget.
[Other SmartWatches] standef:
Poor battery life

I did loosen the case but no luck. I'll bet you're right when I tightened the back the board flexed and disconnected the vibrating motor.

I didn't have the screen issues you did though. I am hesitant to opening up the back and touching anything in there again for fear of breaking off a wire -- or worse.

Guess I'll live with it as is. The poor battery life is really disappointing.
