Charging your HUAWEI watch

Precautions for charging

• It is recommended that you use a HUAWEI charging cradle and power adapter purchased from an official Huawei sales outlet, or a charging cradle and power adapter that comply with relevant safety regulations and standards, when charging your device. Other power adapters and power banks that do not meet relevant safety standards may cause issues such as slow charging or overheating. Please exercise caution when using such devices. If the charging cradle is connected to the USB port of other devices (such as a PC, docking station, or multi-port charger), your watch may be unable to be charged or charge slowly. The charging cradle is magnetic, and tends to attract metal objects. Please check and clean the charging cradle before use. Avoid exposing the charging cradle to high temperatures for extended periods of time, as doing so may damage the charging cradle.
• Keep the metal charging contacts and all charging ports dry and clean, to prevent short circuits or other dangers. Make sure that the device is placed correctly on the charging cradle, with the charging status displayed on screen. When the charging icon displays 100%, this means that your device is fully charged and has automatically stopped charging. However, it won't send an alert. Remove the device from the charging cradle and disconnect the power adapter. Otherwise, the battery level may decrease a while later before recharging to capacity.
• The watch uses a lithium-ion battery. There is no need to charge and discharge battery multiple times to activate it when you use the watch for the first time.
• If the device is idle for a long time, remember to charge the battery once every month, to extend the battery lifespan.

Checking the battery level

Method 1: Swipe down on the device home screen to show the Control Panel, where you'll find the battery level.

Method 2: Connect your device to a power source, and check the battery level on the charging screen.

Method 3: Once your device is linked with Huawei Health, open the app and navigate to the device details screen, where the battery level is displayed.

 

• The battery level can only be viewed on certain watch faces.
• When the battery level is too low, your device will vibrate to alert you and suggest immediate charging.

Charging your watch

1. Connect the charging cradle, and then connect the power adapter to a power source.
2. Rest your device on top of the charging cradle, and align the metal contacts on your device to those of the charging cradle, until you see the charging icon appear on the device screen.

   HUAWEI WATCH 3 Series: Your device will enter charging mode and you will not be able to navigate on the screen. If you would like to use the device, press the Up button to enter the home screen.
