Question

What happens if I can't change the seconds?

Community Answer

You usually can't, but it will only be a maximum of 59 seconds off, so it doesn't really matter. Also, you can take out the battery and put it back in, the seconds will turn to "00" most of the time.

Question

Does ".3" on the watch mean AM or PM?

NoNamed Guy777

Community Answer

If it's a 24-hour format watch, then it is AM. If it is a 12-hour format, consider checking your phone for the correct time or look for any indicators like 'p' which would indicate PM.

Question

How do I set the time on my ICESTONE LED watch with a single button when the time doesn't flash after a long press?

Fix 'N Repair - Wakefield

Community Answer

If your ICESTONE LED watch doesn't flash after a long press of the single button, it might be due to a specific issue or incorrect sequence. Press and hold the button for several seconds (usually 3-5 seconds). The numbers on the display should begin to flash, indicating you’re in the setting mode. If it doesn't flash, try holding the button longer (up to 10 seconds).

Try resetting the watch. Hold the Digital Crown and power button together until you see the logo, then release. The watch will reboot. See if that changes it.

Question

Is an 80 BPM heart rate and 8,000 steps what my watch is supposed to show as normal?

Malik Abdullah

Community Answer

An 80 BPM heart rate is within the normal range, and 8,000 steps is a good daily goal, but check your watch's manual and consider personal factors for accurate interpretation.

Question

What do the numbers that change every second with a heart on the screen mean?

Zain Shuttari

Community Answer

The numbers that change every second alongside a heart symbol likely represent your heart rate. This feature is common in many wearable fitness trackers and smartwatches with heart rate monitoring capabilities. The changing numbers typically indicate your current heart rate in beats per minute (BPM).

What do I do if the time doesn't stop blinking even after the five seconds?

Let the watch sit for several more seconds. If it's still blinking, see what happens when you press the button. If this causes the watch to change the setting, contact the company that sold you the watch to ask for their help in fixing it.
