How to Change the Wallpaper on a FitPro Smart Watch: Photo Faces, Music and Volume

1. Open the app with the watch connected and nearby.
2. Find the watch-face or dial section, often on the device tab.
3. Choose the custom, DIY or photo face.
4. Pick a picture from the gallery or take one with the camera.
5. Crop it, pick the clock's position and colour, then tap to sync.
6. Keep the phone close until the progress bar finishes.

The watch switches to the new face when the transfer ends. If it does not, long-press the face showing on the watch and pick the new one from the carousel, which works on most models.

Makers that spell out photo faces include the ID208 Plus, IDW25, TOOBUR IDW16, Blackview R50 Pro, STECEi T50S, Csasan T70 and aeac 1.85-inch. No custom option in your app? You may be in the wrong one; the app download and QR pairing guide sorts that out.

• Training days: a face showing steps, calories and heart rate shows progress at a glance.
• Work days: a clean analogue face looks at home with a shirt and cuts the urge to check stats.
• Rest days: your photo face, and nothing to chase.

On most models, once two or three faces sit on the watch, switching between them takes a long-press rather than a fresh sync each morning.

Pick faces with the screen in mind, because each watch has its own resolution:

Sharper screens show fine photo detail; lower-resolution ones look best with bold shapes and big digits. Animated and very bright faces use more power, and on AMOLED screens a dark face saves battery because black pixels stay off. The Bestinn H32 and Fitpolo Round AMOLED add an always-on clock, which costs some battery life in exchange for the time without a wrist flick.

The music itself stays on the phone. None of these watches states storage for your own music files, and the audio plays through the phone or the earbuds paired with it, not the watch.

• Buttons: music control appears on nearly every model, from slim bands like the Bestinn H32 to calling watches.
• Voice: Alexa watches such as the ID208 Plus, IDW26 and QISUKUS control music by voice; the JeeJTek and OICIIDO Z172 use an AI voice assistant for the same job.
• Hands-free calls: on calling models, a call pauses the music on the phone and comes through the watch's speaker.

Set it up once and it runs itself:

1. Allow the app's notification and media permissions on the phone.
2. Start playback on the phone once, so the watch has a player to control.
3. Open the music screen on the watch and test pause and skip.

Controls that do nothing usually mean the app has lost its background permission. Reopen it, re-allow access and try again; the pairing and reconnect steps cover a dropped link.

• Media volume: where the music screen shows plus and minus buttons, they change the phone's volume for the track that is playing.
• Call volume: on calling watches, adjust the speaker during a call or in the watch's sound settings.
• Alerts: the IDW26 and QISUKUS let you customise sound and vibration, and the Popglory 1.85-inch adjusts vibration strength, screen brightness and screen-on time.
• Quiet hours: Do Not Disturb on watches such as the Choiknbo 1.69-inch and PJYUBVOR 1.9-inch silences alerts during sleep.

Match the settings to the routine. In a loud gym, a strong vibration beats a beep you will never hear. At night, Do Not Disturb keeps the sleep score honest by stopping late messages from waking you.

Screen brightness belongs in the same settings menu. Turn it up for outdoor runs and down for evenings; a lower level stretches the days between charges.

What they do have is built in from the factory:

• Games: the LIGE EF13 includes two mini-games, the Blackview R50 Pro casual games, and the MFVLP A7 mini games.
• Tools: calculators on the KIPTUMTEK T7, FITVII HM57 and Popglory 1.85-inch; a flashlight on the IDW26, Coucur Y66 and KIPTUMTEK Y8.
• Daily helpers: stopwatch, timer, alarms, weather, find-my-phone and camera shutter on nearly every model.

The same goes for how to download apps on FitPro smart watch models. The only things the phone app adds are watch faces, settings and firmware updates. A file sold as an APK is an Android phone app; installing it changes the phone, not the watch.

Treat the built-in games as a pause between sets, not a pastime; a few rounds on the bus cost little, while long sessions with the screen lit drain the battery faster. Firmware updates through the app can refresh the menus, so check for one after pairing.

If games and apps matter more than battery life, a watch with an app store is the better fit, as the Apple Watch comparison shows. For steps, sleep and a photo of your crew on the wrist, the built-in set is plenty.
