Water resistance.
The watch has a water resistance rating of IP67, meaning that it is protected from submersion up to a depth of 1 meter for a maximum of 30 minutes. So it will survive the bath, or a paddle at the seaside but we do not recommend using this watch for long distance swimming, snorkelling or diving.
If you do submerge your smart watch in water, always dry it with a soft cloth. Do not use hairdryers or any other heated equipment to dry your watch.

Weather forecasting
Your smart watch will give you real time weather updates. If the weather forecast appears wrong, make sure that your watch has been synced recently. If this does not fix the problem, make sure that your location is enabled in your smartphone settings and also within the Qwatch app.

Sleep monitor.
We all need our beauty sleep, make sure that your sleep cycles are being monitored by your smart watch so you can work on getting a better nights rest to have a better day! Your watch will detect sleep between 10pm and 8am the next day and will measure the amount of deep sleep and light sleep you get throughout the night.

Gesture Control.
Your smart watch detects when you twist your wrist to check your watch and will wake the screen automatically. This saves battery life as well as being convenient for you not to have to wake your watch up for a quick time check. In settings you can change whether you wear your wrist on your left or right wrist or if you do not want this feature, you can turn it off in the app settings.
