How do I reset the time on my Huawei GT watch?

The most common way to "reset" or adjust the time on your Huawei GT watch is by ensuring it's correctly synchronized with your paired smartphone. Huawei GT watches typically obtain their date, time, and time zone information directly from the phone they are connected to.

How to Set or Reset the Time on Your Huawei GT Watch

Your Huawei GT watch is designed to keep its time accurate by syncing with your phone. Therefore, any time adjustments are generally made on your smartphone, and the watch will update automatically.

1. Automatic Time Synchronization via Your Paired Phone

This is the primary method for ensuring your Huawei GT watch displays the correct time.

• Ensure Proper Pairing: Make sure your Huawei GT watch is successfully paired and connected via Bluetooth to your smartphone (Android or iPhone).
• Check Phone's Time Settings: Your phone is able to sync to the local date, time, and time zone over a mobile network. Verify that your phone's date and time settings are correct and set to automatic.
  • On most Android phones:
    1. Go to Settings.
    2. Scroll down and tap on System & updates (or just System).
    3. Select Date & time.
    4. Toggle on Set automatically (or Use network-provided time).
    5. Also, toggle on Set time zone automatically (or Use network-provided time zone).
  • On iPhones:
    1. Go to Settings.
    2. Tap General.
    3. Tap Date & Time.
    4. Toggle on Set Automatically.
• Sync the Watch: Once your phone's time is correct, open the Huawei Health app on your phone. Ensure the watch is connected. The watch should then automatically update its time to match your phone's time. You might need to refresh the app or restart both the watch and phone for the sync to take effect immediately.

2. Manually Setting Date and Time (Via Paired Device Settings)

While Huawei GT watches primarily sync with your phone, you also have the option to manually set the date, time, and time zone for the device that controls the watch's time. This typically refers to the settings on your smartphone, which then dictate the time on your watch.

To manually adjust these settings, you would follow a path similar to this on your smartphone:

• Go to Settings
• Navigate to System & updates
• Select Date & time
• Then, set the options according to your requirements.
  • You would typically disable "Set automatically" first to gain manual control.
  • Then, you can manually adjust the date, time, and time zone.

Once these manual adjustments are made on your phone, ensure your Huawei GT watch is connected to the Huawei Health app, and it will update its time to reflect your phone's new settings.

It's generally recommended to keep the automatic time synchronization enabled on your phone for convenience and accuracy, especially when traveling across time zones.

Troubleshooting Tips

If your watch's time is still incorrect after following the steps above:

• Restart Both Devices: Try restarting your Huawei GT watch and your smartphone.
• Check Bluetooth Connection: Ensure Bluetooth is active on your phone and the watch is properly connected within the Huawei Health app.
• Update Huawei Health App: Make sure you have the latest version of the Huawei Health app installed.
• Check Watch Firmware: Ensure your Huawei GT watch has the latest firmware update. You can usually check for updates within the Huawei Health app under your device settings.
• Resync in Huawei Health App: Open the Huawei Health app, go to the device screen for your watch, and try to manually sync or refresh the data.

By managing the time settings on your paired smartphone, you effectively "reset" or adjust the time displayed on your Huawei GT watch.
