Im thinking about buying this. but need some stuff cleared. anybody here using this with a Xperia phone? if so will the music controls work with the Walkman? also when playing music can i choose the output (phone or watch)? i listen to music a lot. i want the phone to play music with the headset and the watch to control it(pause/next/volume). is it possible?
[Other SmartWatches] Albatros2605:
Yes, You can configure that whatever You want. I have this watch and I can listen to the music by the phone or watch or bluetooth headset. For example: Bluetooth headset is connecting with the phone for music and watch for calls and smses. But I didnt check the control by the watch when You listen music by the headset. I will do it.

OK now its clear, You can control the music in your phone by the watch only when you are connecting bluetooth multimedia. Then the music is only in the watch's speaker.
[Other SmartWatches] STALKER_88:
Thanks you, please check and let me know. im using a wired headset.

also any other cheap smart watches should i check out? i have about 52$ to spend.
[Other SmartWatches] panamakevin:
I use mine with wired headsets, just turn off media audio under your phones Bluetooth watch connection, my watch shows up as Hiwatch on Bluetooth... For less than 60 it's worth the extra loot... I'm keeping my u8 pro tilll they release the new MS watch....

Alarm when disconnects

Is there anyway to turn off the feature where the watch beeps when it gets disconnected from the phone. I thought if I turn antitheft off then it would disable this feature, but it doesn't help. Also, I use mediatek for the Bluetooth notifications, in case that matters.

Thanks

Android App

I already bought an U8 pro. To know how this functions, I read this whole usefull threat. To connect the watch with a android smartphone, the most of you use the app: BT Notification. There are more versions posted in this Threat. What version is the best stable, to use ?

Are there maybe other Android apps to use for the U8 pro ?
[Other SmartWatches] Albatros2605:
Its my problem too and didnt find any solution

I'm using BT Notification 1.3.20. Only this version works with function "find phone". I've got Note 3.

Thanks for the tips about BT Notification 1.3.20. In this threat I found a link on 3 august 2014. This link is not working anymore to download the file. Does anyone have a link for me to download this version ?

I'm using an note 3 too.

i phone compatability for u8 Pro Watch

This is a great discussion forum on the U8 PRO Watch. I purchased my U8 Pro smart watch from ebay seller mobile_spirit in late Sept. They provided a tracking number and I am expecting delivery on Tuesday Oct 14. Before purchasing the watch I sent a question as to whether the watch would work with i phone 5S and was told it was limited but would pair up without an App to the i phone and would work for taking calls but not for SMS Text messages. Has anyone used this U8 Pro watch with an i phone?

---------- Post added at 03:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:16 AM ----------

I noticed that Ali Express and mobile_spirit on ebay are now selling the HD Full Touch Screen U Pro P3 watch for about $20.00 more than the U8 Pro watch. It has a few more features than the U8 Pro i.e. Camcorder Video player, SD Card, Sound Recorder, etc. It also looks like the watch colours are different from the U8 Pro i.e. no Gold but a brown colour. Has anyone heard about this watch?

U8 Watch Pro Display Frozen - Is there a Reset Button on this watch?

Got my U8 Watch Pro today and after setting the time zone I went to set the year month and date and the watch suddenly went into a white screen with a bits of colors in the background. I have tried everything to get it out of this mode even removing the Battery and reinstalling it multiple times but nothing works!! It seems like the watch is frozen in this mode. Is there any way to fix this i.e. a Reset Button? Or do I have a defective Watch (Ali Express)? Any replies to get my U8 Pro working again would be very much appreciated.
[Other SmartWatches] bustanut666:
That's odd. So screen is still on even with battery removed? I know on regular u8 watch it had a reset button but I don't see one on pro. Maybe keep holding power button down for like a minute.
[Other SmartWatches] mitigator:
Thanks very much for the reply, no with the battery out the watch is dead. When I put the battery back in I get the white screen again with some very small colours in the background as small as a pin. Oh yeah a few bars of music plays also.

This is extremely frustrating after waiting 28 days for the watch from China and no reply from the ebay seller so far. I am out $72.00, very disappointing. I will try holding the button on the right for a minute but so far Nothing is working to get it out of this mode - its like the blue screen of death I saw once on a computer many years ago. Nope that didn't work either i.e. holding button in for a minute!!
[Other SmartWatches] panamakevin:
Did you try the reset button on the side? That may help, but could be a defective watch...
[Other SmartWatches] bustanut666:
I saw that hole also. I thought it was like a microphone or something. Lol. Didn't know it was reset button.
[Other SmartWatches] mitigator:
Tried the reset Button on the side with a paper clip and also a straight pin. It does nothing and there is no movement or give when a clip or straight pin is inserted into the watch so not sure if that is even a reset button. Ebay Supplier wants me to charge up the phone fully - which I've already done, and they want me to send pictures or videos of the problem with the watch so I hope to do this by tomorrow. I guess I'll try to take a picture with i phone then somehow attach it & send it to the ebay folks. Thanks for the reply but this watch looks like it is done! Very disappointing .

Anyone able to receive group mms text on watch?
[Other SmartWatches] mesang:
Some information about this watch on http://www.chinese-smartphones.com as well. It's also listed on DX if I'm not mistaken.
[Other SmartWatches] mitigator:
Well the ebay supplier wants me to send the U8 Pro 1 watch back from Canada to China so they can repair it. They want me to find a courier to do this for $10 - $15 economy shipping with a Tracking Number which simply is not possible from Canada to China. Worst yet I would be waiting likely until Christmas (Dec 25) (since the watch took 28 days just to arrive here) before I would receive my repaired watch. This is unacceptable as I paid $72.00 for a new watch. I have filed a complaint with ebay for resolution.

Thanks for the all help guys, also just to let anyone know there is NO Reset Button on this watch re the supplier info. Also if anyone is interested I could post a picture If I am allowed to do this of the Frozen White Screen on my U8 Pro Watch which now is completely useless. Also is there any detailed documentation on this watch i.e. re time and date as the card instructions that they sent is extremely brief.
[Other SmartWatches] bustanut666:
Have u tried just leaving the watch on so it drains completely. I think I read somewhere someone had same issue I think.
[Other SmartWatches] michael.3:
Got the watch two days ago, I have a couple problems. Since I'm using a tablet with hangouts rather than the default dialer/sms app, is it possible to reply to texts and receive calls on the watch through hangouts? Also the time will not switch to 12 hour format, it did at first but after I saved some setting it reverted back and won't change again, despite my attempts to reset settings.
[Other SmartWatches] mitigator:
Thanks, but how would you let the watch drain completely as it just shuts off by itself after a minute or two? As it stands now the watch switches on now with the white screen on first press on 2nd press music plays for a moment, then it shuts off. Or do you mean to constantly press the on/off button every time it shuts off?
[Other SmartWatches] bustanut666:
Just leave the watch on. The screen will be off but it's actually still should be on. In a day or so. It will die completely.

Today I received an U8 pro. An wonderfull piece of techniks, in this little computer. Thanks to all the info in this threat, almost everything, you can find here

I hope the answer of two questions I find here:

How can you connect the U8 pro watch with an computer ?

Does it have the possibility to update the firmware, en where can you find the actual firmware of this watch ?

Near the bleu Bluetooth icon on top of the screen, sometimes there is an other bleu icon with an " ! " in it. What does this mean ?

is there an complete manual for the U8 pro available ?
[Other SmartWatches] mitigator:
Well that didn't work. Let the battery die completely then charged it for an hour. The white screen with coloured pixels returned - screen is completely unresponsive - this watch is toast i.e. useless.
[Other SmartWatches] mircorotondi:
Hello everybody!

Last week i've bought U8pro watch and I think it's a very good product.

Anyone know if it's possible to update the firmware (if there's a newer one or wathever this will be available)? And how I can connect the watch to the pc to see the folders in it?

Thx
[Other SmartWatches] aloysxda:
For the firmware I can't help you. This is what I am also curious about.

What about connecting on your pc, shut off the watch, then connect with the pc's usb and wait while the pc is downloading drivers. Then you can go to the folders by using your explorer.

i bough this upro watch but charger not included only data usb cable, my supplier said to charge thru laptop(i know) but what if theres no computer or laptop, can i know what charger voltage output and what amp. should i buy. tnx in advance.
[Other SmartWatches] Kev23:
I plug the supplied cable into a mains charger all the time and haven't had any problems.
[Other SmartWatches] blyx21:
What I mean is what charger adapter can I use? Mine doesn't have wall charger. What voltage output is your wall charger?
[Other SmartWatches] mitigator:
I think he means if you have a wall mains charger for your i phone or Android phone, you can plug in the USB plug from the U8 Pro watch into your cell phone charger and it should charge the watch without having to plug it into your Computer's USB port. Hope this helps.

Matt Screen Protectors

Sorry this took so long.

I have attached pics of my U8 with and without a matt screen protector and also with light reflection.

No matter what I do, I cannot get the digital watch face to show 12 hr time. Even when I change the settings to 12 hr it still displays 24 hr. Any idea?

It doesn't change the watch face, only the time format on screen where the apps are.

screen

Sounds like your screen was defective from the start. The little bit of music type stuff is the normal start up but if the screen is malfunctioning that's all you will get.

The place you were sticking the paper clip is the microphone. I am not sure there is a reset button. I had no problems with my watch and when working with the correct software it is pretty good value. My only big problem with it is that it isn't very Goodwin humid conditions as moisture can get in through the back which doesn't have a seal. A good idea is to use a cuff watch strap so there is a layer of leather between your skin and the watch back.
[Other SmartWatches] mitigator:
Thanks a lot for the reply. The really frustrating thing about this watch was that it worked okay for about 10 minutes after I opened up the packaging. The watch was really poorly packaged with very minimal bubble wrap. The white screen with pixels in the background came on when I was trying to set Date and Time, and its remained in that state ever since i.e. like the screen is frozen. So the screen and watch now are completely useless.

I did some checking and came across a company called Timestar Electronics Co. Ltd. in China and I am wondering if they are the manufacturer of this U8 Pro smart watch - I believe they call it the A-Watch W2014. I have tried to contact them to ask them about this problem but have had no success so far.

Also I informed the ebay watch seller that costs to send the watch back from Canada to China with Tracking and 28 Days delivery was $47.00. The supplier contacted me and said if I sent them an additional $40.00 USD that they would send me a new replacement watch Before my damaged watch returned back to China - that is only if I could find a courier to send the watch back for $10.00 to $15.00. This is just Not possible and why would I now want to pay $70 + $40 = $110.00 USD for just one watch?? Very frustrating, I have requested a refund from ebay. Thanks

U8 message and notifier not able to connect

I have already install the BT Notifier app to my smart phone but my U8 watch for message and notifier still not able to connect and show asking me install the app but the app already install. Any idea?
[Other SmartWatches] jrvenge:
Hmmm

Just picked up one of these U8 Pros as a first step into smart watches just to see how i get on.

Really enjoying the ability to rapidly look at notifications its good.

Some problems though...

1: When i receive a message, even after reading and deleting the bluetooth message icon stays on screen, only way to get rid of it is to reboot the watch?

2: the find phone option asks me to disconnect bt music, then does nothing?

3: time stuck in 24 hour mode

4: what is car theft option for?

5: cant select only audible for notifications, always vibrates, annoying

6: watch makes a loud beeping noise when disconnected from bluetooth, how to disable? (Anti lost is off)

7: when connected all phone audio goes through to the watch.. annoying

8: UI is pants

How to Permantly set time and date on U8 Pro Watch?

Can someone please tell me how to Permantly set Time and Date on the U8 Pro Watch? I can set the time and Date manually BUT as soon as I set them in -the watch returns back to 3:05 PM, how the heck do you set the settings permantly? Any replies would be very much appreciated.
[Other SmartWatches] panamakevin:
That's what I ended up doing.. Looks OK but you have to cut it smaller so it doesn't pop up where the glass bends around the sides. Not to noticible and it gives me the piece of mind that the watch won't have scratches should I decide to resell

As far as I know, U8 PRO = U8 + Waterproof

AND FIND A COUPON CODE :U8PRO AT http://bit.ly/1zhI580
[Other SmartWatches] bigo93:
I've had the U8 Pro for a few months now, I actually just got it as a watch, but wanted to see how a basic smartwatch is like.

It claims to be waterproof but it doesnt seem like it to me.

I've had my U8 Pro suddenly turn off, then on again by itself. And it then just cycles for quite a while, turning itself on and off for no reason.

After a while I realised it happens when I wash my hands or sweat a lot.

From the looks of it, it is VERY EASY for water to get into the battery compartment, and I believe it is this which causes the watch to kindda short itself out and hence the watch turning itself on and off continuously.

On the whole you get what you pay for.

I used it just as a watch, so no bluetooth, no notifications or calls from my phone, and maybe because of the moisture getting into the battery compartment, I found the battery life to be way too short, 2 maybe 3 days max before I have to recharge

So I cannot imagine how this will be like for those who use it for more than just a watch. But again maybe the moisture in the battery compartment is helping to drain the battery faster.

This could probably be easily fixed by a simple rubber seal along the edge of the case lid.

The manual is the usual Engrish, and it doesnt even go into the features of the phone.

You have the anit-lost app which is self-explanatory, but then you also have the Car theft pp as well??? What exactly does that do?!

The sleep monitor isnt perfect, it claimed I was awake in the middle of the night for 2 hours when I was asleep.

Also the factory reset doesnt reset the lock code.

Others claim their U8 Pros have 4 watch faces, whilst mine has 6.

As others have asked, noone knows where to get the firmware updates from.

I also emailed the manufacturers but they never got back to me, regarded the firmware or the moisture issue.

I would say this is a good priced smartwatch for you to test out before deciding on buying a more well known branded one.

Though I just looked at the manufacturer's site and it seems they have a new watch out, the U10.
