A FitPro-style watch runs on one side button, a touchscreen and a handful of swipes, and that is enough to reach every feature from step goals to sleep scores. Switch it on, learn the moves, then keep power-off and factory reset in your back pocket.
Sales checked September 2026Press the side button for roughly 3 to 5 seconds to switch the watch on; if nothing happens, put it on the charger, which wakes most models. Swipe to move between screens, press the button to return to the clock, and find Power off and Reset in the watch's Settings menu.
Every watch in this family has one side button, and holding it for about 3 to 5 seconds brings up the start logo. A brand-new watch often arrives with little charge, so if the screen stays dark, the charger comes first.
Pairing early matters because the app sets the time, date, units and your profile. Steps, calories and distance all lean on height and weight, so enter them honestly.
Wear the watch about one finger above your wrist bone, firm but comfortable. The optical sensor needs steady skin contact, and a loose strap is a common reason for gaps in overnight heart rate.
The pairing routine for iPhone and Android takes over from here. Come back once the watch shows the right time and your step goal.
| Move | What it does on most models | Tip |
|---|---|---|
| Hold the side button 3 to 5 s | Power on | No response? Charge first |
| Short press of the side button | Wake the screen, or back to the clock | Works from any menu |
| Swipe down from the clock | Quick panel: brightness, do not disturb, find phone | Order varies by model |
| Swipe up from the clock | Notification list | Clear it after reading |
| Swipe left or right | Health cards or the app menu | Steps, heart rate, sleep |
| Long-press the clock face | Watch-face picker | More faces come from the app |
| Raise the wrist | Wakes the screen if enabled | Turn off to save battery |
Typical behaviour of FitPro-style firmware. Swipe directions and menu names differ between models, so the leaflet in the box is the final word for yours.
The touchscreen does most of the work, and four moves from the clock face reach nearly every screen. Learn them once and the watch becomes a quick glance between sets rather than a puzzle.
The side button is your way home. A short press from any menu returns to the clock, and a press on a dark screen wakes it. On Alexa models such as the IDW26, holding the button starts a voice request.
Direction varies by maker: on some models the menu opens with a swipe right, on others with a press. Try each direction in the first five minutes and the layout sticks.
Once the gestures feel natural, set a daily step goal in the app and let the watch buzz when you hit it. A small win each afternoon builds the streak, and the custom face and music controls make the clock screen your own.

A rotating crown moves between screens without smudging the 1.91-inch display, and Alexa takes voice requests. Its maker rates the battery for 7 to 30 days depending on use.
Strap it onMost days the watch never needs switching off; it runs from charge to charge. Turn it off for long storage, for a gift that will sit unopened for weeks, or when a frozen screen needs a clean restart.
Certain models show a shutdown prompt when you keep the side button pressed. Others have no button shortcut at all, so the Settings route is the reliable one.
For storage longer than a month, charge to around half, switch off, and top up every few months. Lithium cells left full or empty for long spells lose capacity faster.
Rinse the watch in fresh water after a chlorinated pool session and dry the back before it goes on the charger.
A factory reset wipes steps, sleep history, alarms and the pairing record off the watch and sends it back to the first-run screen. Use it when pairing fails again and again, when the watch changes hands, or when menus behave oddly.
Skipping step 2 is the classic mistake. The app still thinks the watch belongs to the old account and may refuse to bind it again.
If the watch will not respond enough to reach Settings, the white-screen and power fixes cover what to try. For clock trouble after a reset, the time-setting steps put it right.
Press the side button for roughly 3 to 5 seconds until the logo appears. If the screen stays dark, charge it for half an hour; many watches arrive low on charge and switch on once placed on the charger.
Open Settings on the watch, choose Power off or Shutdown, then confirm. Some models also show a power-off option after a long press of the button.
The paper leaflet in the box is the model's own manual, and many makers offer the same file as a download. Menus differ by model, so the leaflet beats a generic PDF.
Open Settings, find System (or More), then tap Restore factory settings or Reset, whichever your model shows. Before pairing again, remove the watch from your FitPro account in the app and delete it from the phone's paired devices.
The battery is most likely flat. Charge it for half an hour and try again; if the screen lights but ignores touches, the not-working fixes cover a frozen display.
