Troubleshooting

Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your smartphone and the watch. Restart both devices and try pairing again. Check if the watch is within range of your phone (approx. 2 meters).

Check if Bluetooth is connected and the G-SHOCK Connected app is running. If not, manually sync time via Bluetooth or initiate a Multi-Band 6 reception in an area with good signal.
