setup of the wyze watch this will be the same for whether you have the 44 or the 47
millimeter version so right out of the box you see it has a sticker on it letting you
know you have to charge it to activate it so we're just going to take that sticker off and
then you can kind of see the watch face itself after which we spin it around and we take off
the protective bit in the back because to actually start the setup process for this
step one is to take the proprietary charging cable and attach it in order to boot the watch up
all right so that'll be interesting for later that's proprietary as to which pin goes where
but we missed a little boot notification with wyze logo popping up there there's a
qr code that popped up on the band so what we're going to do is we're going to go back
and go to the app and say add a band and then we should be able to put in that information so
off camera i have the now powered up band we're going to select add a device now it's broken down
into these lovely unique categories so we are going to say lifestyle there we go got the 44
or the 47 watch we're gonna say 44 because that's what we have all right so it wants
camera lighting gotta love that it wants to allow the uh wyze app to take a picture because it's
gonna want to take a picture of that qr code uh in my case since i'm doing this on android i will say
only this time and now it wants me to go over and scan that qr code so we're going
to do that off camera so it did take a minute there to uh line things up but
it is in the pairing process at the moment so you're going to want to keep the
watch nearby and we're going to bring that into frame now because the watch says
pairing you're going to say ok to finish the pairing process which i did and the qr code
popped back up so we're going to see all right pairing failed we're going to try this again
qr code is still showing up on the band itself it is now showing okay we're going to select ok again
and we see pairing up this time we are successful you have to pick which hand you want well it did
say which hand did you want to wear this on but apparently me picking it up and moving it kind of
messed with it so we're going to click back into that so connected disconnected all right it's
giving me an error code that's interesting see if it connects again all right there's a firmware
upgrade that needs to happen question is will this take as long as the firmware
for the wyze headphones review over there in the corner we'll make a notation of the time it is
10 28 and we will not make you sit through that so we'll come back and hopefully that'll be done
okay so it says that the firmware is up to date however it is rebooting the device it took all
of about five and a half six minutes so the watch right now is not usable because well it's
rebooting thankfully the firmware did not take the stated 20 minutes to actually download and update
part of that might be due to you know your wi-fi connectivity so the faster that you can download
the faster you will get your firmware updated so again says it'll reboot in three minutes
we'll take it at its word and i'm not gonna film that portion all right so it finished rebooting
and there we go we got the watch face and it requires you to enable background app refresh
your watch needs this because the app is running in the background to perform certain features so
you can either dismiss this or you select learn more and then it kind of tells you why i keep it
running in the background and then it's showing me my phone model which is a google and then we
can go to settings app notification wyze advanced battery background blah blah where we can just
go to set and it brings you right into where you need to go 96 battery which is good so it
shows that you know they ship this with a full battery not terribly difficult at all to set up
you
