New Chinese app 3.2.8 was released yesterday, firmware remained the same at 3.32 or 3.35. It seems to be a bug fix version for devices that suffer from disconnection or bad reporting issue.

There are no news about when a new version of the app to come out for outside China. :confused::confused:

However, it is confirmed a new revision of the watch firmware will be scheduled for release in early July. According to the moderator in Weloop forum, this is a re-write to in hope to fix the battery draining issue, therefore it will take time to test and tune. Users are welcome to report new bugs and they will also be incorporated into the new version in July.

I am not sure if this is encouraging for us English users.
[Other SmartWatches] valeriosza:
This app and firmware are on github? I would like to help translate and remove the error keep changing forever Chinese.
[Other SmartWatches] GastonP:
Nope... It's neither open hardware nor open software.

So if they decide English is not worth the effort we are left alone in the dark. But for the Open Source Sportswatch initiative in Hackaday.

In order to flash the cronos eco firmware on my tommy i have to use the chronos eco app on my phone but i really have to register to be able to use it ?
[Other SmartWatches] spyrale:
Yes...
[Other SmartWatches] Pehehetri:
ok. i flashed the chronos firmware on the tommy and i had to try for about 10 times until the flashing procedure went to 100% because it kept stopping (maybe the blutooth was disconnecting ??? boh). I noticed that the messages i received remained in memory even after all of that flashing.
[Other SmartWatches] SifJar:
Quick question: For going back from Chronos Eco FW (I'm on v3.18) to WeLoop FW, can I just put my watch in OTA mode, open the latest version of WeLoop app and do the 5 taps to force the update in OTA mode? Or do I need to do anything more than that? Or anything in the Chronos app? (Don't want to end up with a watch stuck in OTA mode)
[Other SmartWatches] qkall:
That's what i did to get from chronos to weloop. I genuinely don't know why people like chronos over weloop - I've had both (on two different watches) and weloop was more to my tastes. *shrugs*
[Other SmartWatches] SifJar:
I've been trying for a while now; my watch seems to keep rebooting (still in OTA mode), never sticking long enough to get the update installed. Sometimes it does start installing, usually only gets to about 5/6%. One time it got to 90% and then rebooted, back to 0%. Are there any ways to make it more likely to actually work? Getting a bit fed up with it.
[Other SmartWatches] qkall:
i've only found success with a rather old version of weloop... i can't remember the number but it was the oldest in op's thread for old versions (i stumbled across this idea from another forum of people using that version for flashing).
[Other SmartWatches] DiegoEnzo:
weloop is unusable is your languaje is not english or chinese. Besides I really like sleep control of chronos and the ability to enable or desable bluetooth and select background white or black. I'm happy with the change.
[Other SmartWatches] ashensii:
chronos eco app

At chronos eco app Last night I added alarm to wake me up 05.00 but the alarm went on 00.50. Has anyone been able to get alarm work right? I flashed chronos Fw few days ago and in my opinion chronos has much more usable functions than weloop. For example alarm, notes , silent mode etc. It also asks more information about user (weight/height) so fitness part of the app should be more accurate than weloop's.
[Other SmartWatches] MarcinXDA:
I had the same. Reboot watch just before update. Try, try, try... You will do it as I did .
[Other SmartWatches] raicg:
When this happen to me, I noticed that only happen when I use the wrong app.

If you are using weloop, try use the goclever to flash the new firmware, or the inverse.
[Other SmartWatches] DiegoEnzo:
Since I updated my zenfone 5 to Version WW_2.22.40.53 goclever app stoped working (i can't log in) anyone experienced the same?
[Other SmartWatches] taleboblen:
i guess its stuck on 0% screen?

Turn of bluetooth

Delete connection on phone

turn on bluetooth

connect through weloop app (Device Connect)

go straight to Software Update pane and press update.

Keep trying i had to do et several times before i succeded.

if all fails if possible use ios device or other android device.
[Other SmartWatches] tommo_:
Now it's ok.. but with 3.18 there are still many bugs.. on ios is almost ok!
[Other SmartWatches] taleboblen:
Glad to hear it worked, what did you do to make it work for you?

yeah the sw is bit buggy but hopefully they will have fixed them with the realease on the 30th of january (fingers crossed)
[Other SmartWatches] tommo_:
I used an iPhone 4s
[Other SmartWatches] SifJar:
So a few days on, I'm starting to notice a few issues/annoyances with the Tommy. I was wondering if anyone else had experienced the same; in the last three days or so, I have twice found that my Tommy has lost all the watchfaces synced to it and stopped displaying notifications properly (if it displayed them at all, they were blank or only one or two letters). On attempting to sync the watchfaces again, the watch froze on the "sync" screen and the app seemed to not be doing anything. Eventually after exiting the app and restarting it a bunch of times, turning bluetooth off and on, turning my phone off and on, hammering random buttons on the watch etc., the watch restarted, synced properly again and worked fine. Like I said, this has happened twice, no idea what caused it, or which (if any) of my actions actually made the watch restart (or if it just restarted on it's own after a little bit - this seemed to happen before other times when it froze before I connected it to my phone).

Anyone else experienced this, or have any ideas of a quicker, simpler solution if it does happen? Or even better any way to prevent it happening (although I kinda doubt there's much that can be done)?

On the side of annoyances, I'd note that when I dismiss/open notifications on my phone, they stay on the watch; with the Android notifications API, it should be possible to detect this and remove them from the watch also.

It also bothers me that the watch continues to vibrate for a given notification as long as it is on the phone; I have already dismissed said notification on watch, but after a few minutes it vibrates again, to "remind" me I guess. Which would be fine if I hadn't dismissed the notification on the watch, but when I have, I've clearly seen it, so don't need reminded.

My last niggle (for now, at least) is that you can't enable a "silent" or "do not disturb" mode on the watch, short of turning off bluetooth on the phone. There are times when I'd rather it didn't vibrate (but I'd maybe still like it to show the notifications, and light up), other than at night. (It'd also be nice to be able to specify what times "night" was, even better would be to specify it by day of the week e.g. if I am always up late on Mondays, have it vibrate until later on Monday).

I realise that no one here is able to do anything about these annoyances, but in the hopes that maybe someone from WeLoop might see this thread or something. Anyone know if there's any sort of official place these sorts of bug reports and feature requests could be made (in English)?

EDIT: Also, I still haven't had much time for tinkering, I have university exams at the moment. In a few days I'll have a bit more time to fiddle and see if I can figure out anything useful/interesting, and I'll be sure to share anything I find.
[Other SmartWatches] taleboblen:
Hello SifJar

Thank you for your input. The Weloop is very Buggy, and i have also experienced some of the things that you mentioned. But it seems like that the watch has become a little bit more stabile after the latest update. Im stilling resetting the watch from time to time (maybe once every 2-3 weeks). I usually do it from the app, and then the watch is back and running again( it keeps the watch faces if you reset from app). sometimes it needs a harder reset and then i do it from the watch.

I totally get you on the night time thing, stopped using it and just start killing the BT connection on iPhone, also saves the battery on the watch in the evenings. :)

I follow the official Chinese forum very closely and a lot of the annoyances you mention are also on the radar in there, so hopefully we will se a lot of them fixed in the v3.0 release.

Good luck with your exams

Btw what phone are you using and what firmware are you on
[Other SmartWatches] SifJar:
Thanks, and thanks for your replies about the other stuff too. At least it's not just me, I'll have to keep in mind about resetting from the app then. Hopefully future updates will fix some of these things.

I'm using a Moto G with 4.4.4 (stock ROM, unrooted). Tommy is on firmware v3.17.
[Other SmartWatches] TerSerVik:
Tommy-> Chronos ECO

You are wrong! Just upload FW 3.18 from Cronos ECO to You Tomy and Tommy gone and Chronos come :p

I'm using Chronos in Tommy body from last weekends - all OK.:good:
[Other SmartWatches] taleboblen:
there is a firmware v.3.18 just so you know :)
[Other SmartWatches] taleboblen:
Really? can you make a video of this? thanks :)
[Other SmartWatches] spyrale:
To me 3.17 is showed like the latest version, I tried several time to check and always the same. Maybe 3.18 was retired for some reason? I'm on Android, OnePlus One.

[Other SmartWatches] spyrale:
What are the advantages of doing that? Is the Chronos Eco app compatible with lollipop?

I can't download anything from those servers, it say error 404, can you please explain how you did that? thanks!
[Other SmartWatches] TerSerVik:
Yes, GoClever software has support for Android 5.

Sorry - I can't publish URL's here yet. Just combine address and file.
[Other SmartWatches] spyrale:
Thanks man, one more thing, once I downloaded Go Clever firmware, placed somewhere on my phone, how do I proceed?

From Bacon
[Other SmartWatches] TerSerVik:
1. Disconnect watches from software or install new software (from GoClever as example).

2. Go-to update menu and tap 6 times to center of circle...

3. Select BIN file.

4.Switch watch to OTA mode

5. and go on....

For GoClever software steps see attached pic.

TIP: if You can't see GoClever application on market please use this link:

[apps.evozi.com/apk-downloader/?id=com.yf.foreign.goclever]
[Other SmartWatches] taleboblen:
Ha of course you did that :) very clever. thanks for the tip. I will update the FAQ
[Other SmartWatches] SifJar:
I just have the latest version the app from Play Store would install, I think 3.18 is a beta version and I haven't got around to getting it installed yet, should probably do that I guess.

So anyone able to give a comparison between WeLoop app+fw and GoClever app+fw, in terms of features (and stability)? It's interesting to know I can switch between the firmwares and apps seemingly at will, but I'd like to know if it's worth my time. Are there any significant changes or are they pretty much the same?

EDIT: Looks like GoClever has sleep tracking, which seems nice. Among other features. Seems like it's the better software, provided it's stable. I wonder if the WeLoop update on 30th January will bring it on par with the GoClever.
[Other SmartWatches] spyrale:
well, for some reason I cannot force ota this watch, no matter what I do, so I cannot transform it into a goclever. They must have changed something in the new hardware revision. Anyway, goclever app is much better than weloop one.

edit: after several sigarettes and a lot of blasphemy I've done it![emoji1]
[Other SmartWatches] SifJar:
I found the inverse to be true, actually. I had GoClever FW installed, and WeLoop app wasn't working. Then I tried the GoClever app to flash an older version of the WeLoop FW I had on my phone anyway, and it worked in the first few attempts. Then I was able to update to latest WeLoop FW with the WeLoop app.
[Other SmartWatches] ckaidi:
Managed to flash the GoClever firmware on my weloop after many failed attempts.

I suspect during the flashing the Bluetooth connection broke off or sleep off. So during my last successful flashing, I kept pressing the watch button every 5 seconds and touch my phone to prevent anyone of them from sleeping.

Not sure if this works for others but it works for me!!

GoClever app is definitely much better than weloop!!
[Other SmartWatches] taleboblen:
Open firmware update

one day ago.
[Other SmartWatches] tennis_nut:
my alarm works on chronos

My alarm works and comes on at 7:00 am every morning. I prefer chronos fw to weloop.
[Other SmartWatches] Harlley Sathler:
Hey guys! First heard of this watch on the weekend and become very interested. Thinking in buying a original pebble. The price difference isn't too big (about USD19,00). I'm from Brazil and here the customs taxes are truly a theft! The current exchange rate is about USD1,00 = R$3,00, so the Pebble costs about R$267,00 and probably the customs taxes about the double this amount what is a prohibitive price.

This Weloop Tommy costs on FocalPrice.com about USD70,00 (R$210,00) and to came without a price declaration that's a small chance that it arrive without the absurd taxes.

By reading this entire topic and the other one (about 89 pages) I conclude that is better to use this Tommy with the GoClever firmware and application. Is that all right?

My doubt is if worth to by this smartwath or if I would wait and ask a friend to brought me a Pebble from USA.
[Other SmartWatches] spyrale:
Buy a pebble, really, this watch has a lot of potential, but development is ridiculous to say the least, there are bugs sitting there from months. With each release they add just more bugs. Connection between phone and watch is unreliable, you get frequent disconnections even with them very close. I cannot recommend this watch to anyone, it is a waste a money. I just bought a pebble time and it's an another world.
[Other SmartWatches] patience88:
Hi, im stuck in ota mode. How do i solve this?

Sent from my HTC One M9 using Xparent BlueTapatalk 2
[Other SmartWatches] SifJar:
Flash the watch. Use whatever app is applicable to the firmware currently on the watch (i.e. if you have GoClever FW installed, use GoClever app; if you have WeLoop FW installed, use WeLoop app). Both apps can force an update in OTA mode (in WeLoop app tap watch icon five times; in GoClever go into the screen to connect to the watch and tap on "update")

Have the FW you want to install already on your phone (i.e. the .bin file), once you get into the update screen, tap the circle in the centre of the screen 6 times until the option to browse for a file appears, and then select the bin file, and then let it install.
[Other SmartWatches] BravoCharlie:
When this happened to me I had to use the beta version of the android app from the link in the first post of this thread to flash earlier version of Weloop and then update it.
[Other SmartWatches] fbarcelo:
Did Whatsapp notifications work finally?

I'm thinking about buying one of this watches, but final decision depends on proper whatsapp support.

I've read about notification issues in several places including this thread.

Could someone confirm if they where solved or not? :confused:

Thanks in advance
[Other SmartWatches] ashensii:
Whatsapp notifications works great atleast since 3.18 fw and latest app. Works also great with chronos eco fw+ app. Have been testing with KitKat(4.44) and lollipop (5.x)
[Other SmartWatches] fbarcelo:
Thanks a lot. Considering current chinese smart watches. Did you recomend to buy this watch or other one?

[Other SmartWatches] raicg:
I will say my opinion:

Weloop is tottaly different about the others smartwatchs, the main feature of the weloop is the battery.

I dont saw any smartwatchs who lasts more then 1 week, only the weloop (2~3weeks), but we can see a lot of smartwatchs who haves a lot of features that weloop dont have, like S29 ZGPAX, but battery only lasts 2 days...
[Other SmartWatches] ashensii:
I definitely would recommend weloop, this watch has all the functions I need from smart watch (I really dont want to talk with my watch). I get all the notifications to weloop for example news feeds, email, whatsapp,incoming phone calls etc. And the best part of the watch is battery, lasts 3 weeks. I can control Spotify through watch and see the name of the current track.

One thing that also impresses me is that this watch really is waterproof and durable. i've been swimming in the sea, shower and sauna with this watch and it still keeps going on.
[Other SmartWatches] Medard22:
Hey guys, my Tommy developed a few nasty screen scratches during the last week. I´m not even sure how it happended. Anyway do you think it might be fixed somehow?
[Other SmartWatches] GastonP:
Mineral glass can be polished and it gives the best results.. It is a non-trivial matter but it can be done. As it is based on grounding all of the glass to the level of the deepest scratch, you must think well whether this is feasible for you. I think that with this kind of glass you will need to use carborundum paste. Please don't try to do this without learning how to do it correctly. If not done the right way it will leave your watch worse that what you started with.

You can also try with the resin used to repair cracked windshields. No guarantees that it will be left "as new".
[Other SmartWatches] Medard22:
I can propbably live with these scratches :) I thought it won´t be easy. It´s scratched on the side, away from the main display area so it´s not that much of an issue. I still wonder how i managed to sratch it in the first place. It survived 4 months without a scratch.
[Other SmartWatches] GastonP:
Being as you say, I'd let it live the way it is. Both processes involve polishing or treating the whole sphere, thus an error will let you way worse than at the beginning.

Most probably you scratched it against a rough wall. Mortar is made with sand, which includes some very hard crystals.
[Other SmartWatches] Harlley Sathler:
Well, put my hands on a GoClever Chronos Eco yesterday, bought to me by a friend direct from Poland. I have not much time to it yet, but one question came right the connection time: despite the application connects to the watch, the system can't see it. The bluetooth status is not changed, so I can't define my watch as a Trusted Device on Lollipop. Is this behavior normal? Is there any way to use this watch as a Trusted Device? Thank you all in advance.
[Other SmartWatches] qkall:
So it doesn't seem like Trusted Devices since it connects through the goclever/weloop app... I think it interfers somehow. I have (like maybe 2 times out of the 50 or so) had success by disconnecting from the app and then adding it as a trusted device then connecting the back to the app. a lot of back and forth and it'll sometimes work... not really worth the PIA. That being said i'm curious how maybe using a generic bluetooth notification app or the open source app will work.
[Other SmartWatches] valeriosza:
I would not for the Android client 1.29.3702b: http://fir.im/andobt on Google Play? I have an account there.
[Other SmartWatches] qkall:
i'm sorry i'm not sure I understand? but I would use 1.29.3702b over what ever the Google Play has... it has served me incredibly well (i should downgrade my firmware to 3.18 but i haven't really noticed that many issues with 3.19 otther an occasional reboot. )
[Other SmartWatches] valeriosza:
I meant to say that. If you want to put the app on Google Play, I can do it.
[Other SmartWatches] DiegoEnzo:
Any news about weloop 3.0 in english?
[Other SmartWatches] tmace:
i dont think that they will release an english weloop3 app. I think it´s to much work regarding the SMS verfication.

cheers
[Other SmartWatches] Harlley Sathler:
What's the advantage of using the weloop application/firmware? I have a GoClever branded device and, so far, have note seen any advantage of weloop counterpart software, but I'm curious about.
[Other SmartWatches] killer23d:
I have been looking at Weloop BBS for the last few week, even the Chinese users are complaining about lack of update or response from the developer's team. Compare to 3.18 which is very usable, the newer firmware is simply half baked at best.

I am not sure how the future will go, but I am sure GoClever might drop the product soon if they don't get the support from Weloop.
[Other SmartWatches] Harlley Sathler:
Oh! This is bad... I've contacted them a week ago and no response since that.
[Other SmartWatches] qkall:
Donate to the open source project! The dev posted in the comments that his work is near it's first public release.
[Other SmartWatches] daugauonline:
Hello.

I am VietNamese and i want to have multilanguage when i use Tommy Weloop when connect with Iphone

Now its cannot display my country language

Sample: ê ơ ô đ ư oé oá ò ố ế ờ ...

So i hope everybody help me

Thanks
[Other SmartWatches] Harlley Sathler:
I don't believe it's possible. The GoClever Chronos Eco, the same watch sold under a different name with a different application and a different firmware has multi language support, but only supports some european languages. I have one and being a Brazilian I would like to translate the firmware and application to portuguese, my main language, so I contacted the GoClever and offer to do the translation, but about two weeks later have no response from them.

Following the qkall suggestion, I suggest you to donate some money to developer of the open source project. This will be the best guess for this watch.
[Other SmartWatches] cotarelo:
I have the weloop tommy with 3.17 firmware and application of the play store 1.27.23645 and so far zero problems.

I use it a lot especially for work (meetings, emails, etc) I can not be constantly unlocking the phone to see what happens...

I'm thinking of upgrading my phone a lollipop. Will I have any issue? Are you guys running weloop with lollipop?

I also read that then 10th of July they are releasing the new 3.0 app.
[Other SmartWatches] qkall:
I use lollipop with 3.19 (3.18 is better but I'm just being lazy) with decent results.
[Other SmartWatches] qkall:
I'm not one to double post... but this is pretty significant in regards to the Open Source Sports Watch project:

"Krzysiek wrote 17 minutes ago
