Troubleshooting
Watch not connecting to smartphone
Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your phone and the watch. Check that both devices are within range. Restart both your smartphone and the watch. If issues persist, try unpairing and re-pairing the devices through the G-SHOCK Connected app.
Time is inaccurate
Ensure the watch is properly synced with your smartphone via Bluetooth or has successfully received a Multiband 6 signal. Check the app settings for the correct home city and automatic time adjustment settings. If using Multiband 6, ensure you are in a location with good signal reception.
Tough Solar battery not charging
