Question How to start with my timepiece?
Answer

Our timepieces are used with the companion app.

When prompted in the app, please press and hold the watch crown for 5 seconds to enter the pairing mode. After pairing with your phone successfully, Calibrate the timepiece by moving all three watch hands (hour/minute/second) to 12 o'clock posistion, by pressing the arrows on the screen.

For users with firmware 1.xx:
In case the update does not start on the timepiece, please manually close the app from the background or reinstall the app and try again.

Please note that due to the occasional fluctuation of the battery voltage, 'Battery Low' may appear for a short time before the actual battery status is shown.

Question When and how to replace the battery of the timepiece?
Answer

You can still use the timepiece as usual when the 'Battery Low' status is shown in the app. When battery runs out to a level the smart functions are not available, the timepiece will disconnect from your smartphone and enter 'Time Only Mode'. When you press the crown in this mode, LED will flash in red. The timepiece can be used as a traditional watch until all hands stop moving.

For battery replacement, we recommend to do it with of a qualified watch maker. If you choose to do it by yourself, please handle with care especially the tiny screws. 

1) Remove the 4 screws with a 1.5mm flat blade screwdriver, place them together to prevent being lost
2) Flip the backlid, lightly pry the battery out with the same screwdriver
3) Put back the backlid. Align the 4 screw holes and put back the screws. Please ensure the backlid is secured in the right orientation.

Be remined that only CR2450 coin battery can be used for the timepiece. Other types of coin battery with the same dimensions (eg LiR2450, BR2450) will not work and may damage the movement.

 

Question What to do when my timepiece is not able to connect?
Answer

 

Please make sure Bluetooth connectivity is switched on in your smartphone.

At pairing, please ensure that there is no previously paired Mok & Co. timepiece in the system's Bluetooth device list. Forget(Remove) it if there is any.

If your timepiece is disconnected because of distance or any tele interference, please press the crown once to reconnect. The Hour Hand will rotate 360° upon reconnection.

If your timepiece is displayed as 'connected' in the system Bluetooth menu but not in our app, please close and restart our app manually.

Finally, if the connection status is unknown, you may do a hard reset on the timepiece. It can be done by:

1) press and hold the watch crown for 30 seconds, until the Hour and Minute hands move slowly in opposite directions to each other
2) double press the crown, and then all the hands will return to their original positions.

You may now start over with the pairing process. Removing paired timepiece in the Bluetooth device list and reinstalling the app may help too.

Remember that the timepiece cannot be reset in 'Time Only Mode'. You will need to replace the battery.
