but if you have iphone their isnt anything you can download if you have a up to date version of ios
if i am wrong people correct me as at the moment i cant find anything and it meals i can use my smart watch properly.
iPhone 5c, iOS 7.1.1
This is also very interesting. It works for the Pebble, so maybe also for the U8?
Curious...Lumberit...Which model Iphone do you have and what IOS are you using?... U8 claims that their watch will work for Iphones 4 and newer. But according to my research; only customers who have later model iphones ( Iphone 5 and newer ) were able to sync their phones to the watch. I have an Iphone 4 runing on IOS 7 and I wasn't able to sync my devices. From what I can tell; if you have an Iphone, you have about a 50/50 shot of getting your device to sync with the watch. If you have an Iphone 4 or 4S your chances are slim to none in getting the devices to sync regardless of whether you're operating on the most current IOS or not. If you have an Iphone 5 or newer, it appears that your chances are better in getting the devices to sync....So anyone out there who has gotten their Iphone to sync with the U8 Smart Watch; I'd like to hear from you...Can you tell me which Iphone you were using and what IOS you were running...Thanx.
No succes on either of my ideas... 😟
iPhone 5S, iOS 7.04
U8 firmware version: M28_KHR.CN1.V019
Reset the uWatch with a paper clip and it will work...
There is an app they just released (sep 13, 2014) on itunes called Uwatch. Hopefully that helps!
Unfortunately that Uwatch app has nothing to do with the U8. I have a JB iPhone too but haven't been able to fully make it work with the U8 because there simply doesn't exist an iPhone version of BTnotifier (yet). No idea if it will ever be made.
My solution was to sell the U8 and order a Weloop Tommy, which (imho) looks better and does have a dedicated iPhone app.
Well that just flat out blows! Im gonna take a look at that watch and see what I like. thanks!
So I found a short, vague video on YouTube. If any of you have a U8 or UWatch smart watch, what this guy does at 0:34 in the video is what you need to do to sync them. I've been looking for weeks and couldn't find any answers. I watched the video about 10 times before I caught on. Good luck and let me know if it works for any of you!
i am also in need of finding a BT notifier for my iphone 5s running ios 8.1.1
hi, i've got the solution for this, it's an app called BT phone, use it instead of bluetooth native connection, it works!!! sorry my english is not good.... 😢
Scott iphone, is that "BT Phone" an app name available in App Store?
no my friend, the app store name is. bluetooth phone, it was good to me ( ios8.1.2) but it was not needed for my friend ( ios 8.1.3 ) sync was automatically
Didn't work for me.
Will this allow the phone and the watch to work perfectly? Like would I be able to get facebook notifications and all that?
Hello AngusW and others. I just started using an iPhone 5 recently (about 2 weeks into it) and updated to the latest iOS 8.2 which fixed a number of issues with 8.1.3 and previous versions. I then purchased a UWatch U Terra. I am really excited about using this with my iPhone and Hopefully this is similar enough to other UWatches like the U8 UWatch. My experience so far (just got the UWatch today):
* Out of the box, the UWatch will control the phone's call and answer functions, allows sync with the phone book contacts, allows music to be played once the player is enabled on the phone...that's about it.
* After some examination of various help information on the Apple website and various forums, I figured out that if I enable SMS messaging on the iPhone under settings-Messages-"Send as SMS", then I do get notification that a message has been received by the phone...one little thing done!
* After another couple hours of persistent searching through the internet, I ran across an obscure message from a chat forum and on the www.gearbest.com website that sells similar UWatches: go to the App Store and download/install "Mediatek Device". This application looks as if it just enables workout tracking data to and from the watch and iPhone, but it ALSO enables SMS messages to appear on the phone so they can be read. There seems to be some functional issues with the message app on the phone retaining these, but at least they are notified and can be read without having to get out the phone!
* The Mediatek Device App also enables the control of the iPhone camera once the camera is turned on at the iPhone. Shutter control only as far as I can tell, but that's all I really need.
I also played around with the App other people have mentioned called "UWatch" at the App Store. This App has a really good interface, but seems non-functional with my setup...and apparently with most of the other users who have tried it. I hope that the developer can make a few upgrades and really enhance the UWatch experience for everyone.
Hope this is helpful to all. Best of Luck!
