Assure Touch Watch Troubleshooting

Firstly check that the watch is charging when you have it plugged in. Press the Power on button once to light up the screen and you should see the battery charging symbol. This is to ensure there is no problem with the charging cable or the socket you have it plugged into.

Next hold the Power on button for about 10 seconds to see if the watch will power on.

Inspect the charging cable to ensure there is no damage to the charging cable.

Try charging the watch using a different socket or test the socket you are using with another appliance to confirm the socket is working correctly

Check if there any sign of damage to the watch.

Please contact support@watchovers.com with the results of the above checks so we may assist you promptly.

There can be a number of reasons why you cannot call the watch, please check the following;

  1. Check in your mobile phone settings that you do not have your Caller ID blocked.
  2. The number you are calling from must be added as a contact in the App. Only numbers in the app can call the device.
  3. Ensure there are no spaces in the contact number you have entered.
  4. You can call your number from the watch and then using the call log return the call to the watch. This will ensure that you are calling the correct watch number
  5. Make sure that your mobile plan allows you to make international calls.
  6. If you cannot call the watch and watch cannot make calls, please ensure that your subscription has been paid so your sim card is active.

If you still cannot call the watch, please contact us at support@watchovers.com confirming your watch mobile number and any of the checks above you have tried.

There can be a number of reasons for this.

Firstly please ensure your mobile data is turned on.

Please go into the settings for our app on your phone and change the setting so the phone alerts are on (we cannot advise the exact way to change these settings as each phone is different).

This can also happen if there is two or more people logged into the same app account (using the same login details). In this case it may only alert one user and not the other.

2 or more people using the same account can cause various conflicts.  We always recommend each person wanting to track the device set up their free app account and add the watch to their account.

Please check that you have downloaded the correct app for your watch as we have a number of different apps. Your watch can only be added to the correct App. For the Assure Touch app, search “WatchOvers Family” in the relevant App store.

If you are still having problems adding your watch, please contact support@watchovers.com

The watch is indoors if this is happening. The watch is primarily a GPS device for when the wearer is outdoors. For outdoor location working on GPS (Global Positioning Satellite), this means it gets its position when the watch is outdoors and can access a satellite. When you are looking at the location map on our App you will see a location pin and box displaying the location address and what signal the watch is working off, either GPS, LBS or WiFi, to give you its current location.

When the watch is indoors and GPS is displayed on the App, up you can sometimes get shadowing which can make the GPS location display anywhere from 10 meters to 100+ meters from its actual location.

LBS (Local Base Station) can be displayed when the watch is indoors and this indicates cellular positioning which is usually accurate from 100 meters to 1000+ meters depending on the distance away from your nearest mobile phone base station that the watch is registered to.

In general GPS devices are designed for outdoor use, therefore they are not as accurate when used indoors. Please note that when locating a watch indoor the location can show as close as the house next door, or a lot further away depending on the LBS unit it is connected to. It is important to look at the location box to see if the watch is using GPS or LBS for location as LBS is not as reliable.

The first location signal can take a few minutes depending on the watch boot up, SIM card activation and data transmission, similar to a mobile phone.

If it is taking more than 15 minutes, please place the device outside for a few minutes as it is easier to pick up a signal outdoors. Please ensure that you have an active subscription for the device.

If you have lost the watch mobile phone number, simply call your number from the watch and the watch phone number will appear on your phone. Make sure the phone number you want to ring from the watch is added as a phone number in the App first.

The watch or device mobile number is printed on the side of the box, printed on the Device ID card inside the box and is in the app, if you have already added the number to the app.
