How to Set Time on a Smartwatch?
Setting the time on your smartwatch doesn't have to be confusing! Let's walk through the easiest ways to get your smartwatch showing the perfect time.
Step 1: Connect Your Smartwatch to Your Phone
The simplest way to set time on a smartwatch is to let it sync automatically with your phone. This works for most modern smartwatches, including advanced models like the Anarc with its powerful Hisilicon chipset.
Turn on Bluetooth on both your phone and smartwatch. Ensure they're close - within a few feet works best. Your phone should recognize the watch and start the pairing process.
Step 2: Download the Right App
Most smartwatches need a companion app to work properly. For Anarc users, download the Layers Watch App from Google Play or the App Store. This app not only helps with time settings but also gives you access to 150+ dynamic watch faces.
Open the app and follow the setup instructions. The app will guide you through connecting your devices and setting up basic features.

Step 3: Enable Automatic Time Sync
Once your devices are connected, look for time settings in your smartwatch app. You'll usually find this under "Settings" or "Device Settings."
Turn on "Automatic Time Sync" or "Sync with Phone." This tells your smartwatch to always match with your phone's time. It's the most reliable way to keep accurate time without any additional manual work.
Step 4: Set Your Time Zone
Even with automatic sync, you might need to set your time zone manually. This is especially important if you travel or if your phone doesn't automatically update time zones.
Go to your smartwatch settings and find "Time Zone" or "Date & Time." Select your current location. For users in India, choose "India Standard Time (IST)" or "GMT +5:30."
Step 5: Manually Change Time (If Needed)
Sometimes you might want to change the time on a smartwatch manually. Maybe the automatic sync isn't working, or you prefer to set it yourself.
On your smartwatch, swipe down from the top or press the crown button to access settings. Look for "System," "General," or "Time & Date" options. Turn off automatic sync first, then adjust the hours and minutes using the + and - buttons or by simply swiping on the screen.
Step 6: Save Your Settings
After making any changes, look for a "Save," "Apply," or "Done" button. Tap it to confirm your new time settings. Your smartwatch should now display the correct time on all its watch faces.
Step 7: Test the Connection
Check if your time changes are working correctly. Try switching between different watch faces to make sure the time displays properly everywhere. If you're using an Anarc, you can test this with its many responsive and dynamic watch faces.
Step 8: Set Up Notifications and Alarms
Once your time is correct, set up any alarms or notifications you need. Having the right time ensures these features work properly and sync correctly with your phone's calendar and reminder apps.
