1INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on the purchase of your new MetaWatch smartwatch, and thanks for joining the revolution! This
document will walk you through the setup and typical use of the MetaWatch so you can start enjoying hands
freedom.
The contents of the box include:
Your MetaWatch
A charging / data transfer clip
A microUSB cable
If all of these items are accounted for, move on to Section 2 and let’s get rolling!
If any of these items are missing, damaged, or defective, email us at support@metawatch.comand we’ll set
things straight.

2GETTING STARTED
2.1Charging Your Watch
Out of the box, your MetaWatch requires a full charge before use. The first charge takes around four (4) hours to
complete, but the wait is worth it. To charge the watch, follow these steps.
1.Grab the included charging clip—don’t plug it in yet, though. Squeeze it open so you can see the four (4)
silver pins inside the clip.
2.Locate the indented area on the back of the face of your MetaWatch that has four (4) silver contacts.
3.Insert your MetaWatch into the clip so the four (4) clip pins align with the four (4) contacts on the watch and
gently release the clip.
4.Connect the microUSB cable to the clip.
5.Connect the USB cable to your computer or wall outlet to USB adapter.
The clip’s LED will light up to indicate the clip has power. The face of the MetaWatch will display the logo to indicate
it is receiving power. Once your MetaWatch has sufficient power (usually in a few seconds), it begins booting up and
can operate while charging. Remember, keep it on the charger until it’s full the first time.
2.2Watch Button Map
Your MetaWatch has six (6) buttons on it, three (3) per side. The buttons will vary in function depending on which
menu your MetaWatch is currently showing. For easy orientation, we’ve created maps of what each button does for
most every screen you’ll see on your MetaWatch. Here’s an example.
Quick Tip: The top left button (F) stays the same—it always turns on the light so you can see your watch in the dark!

2.3First Boot and Initial Setup
Now that your MetaWatch is fully charged, we can pair it with your iOS, Android, or other supported smartphones /
devices. Just in case you don’t feel like pairing right away, you can still use your MetaWatch as a watch. Here’s an
example of what your screen will look like, as well as the button map and the .
To save on battery, your MetaWatch will automatically deactivate the Bluetooth antenna if you leave it unpaired
long enough. When that happens, you’ll see the middle three icons (the phone, refresh circle, and watch) replaced
with this:
The button functions all stay the same, so refer to the previous map if you need to make adjustments. If you’ve
previously paired your MetaWatch (and these instructions are old news), your screen will look a little more like this:

3PAIRING AND CONNECTING
While we’re sure you love your MetaWatch as a snazzy looking watch, we both know you didn’t get it just to tell
time. Let’s pair up with your phone! Also, your watch will remember yourphone and won’t go off pairing with some
other phone.
3.1iOS Users
1.First things first, you need the MetaWatch Manger application from iTunes App Store. Install it, open it, and
move to Step 2.
2.Tap Connect in the MetaWatch Manager app. Within a few moments, the app will discover your MetaWatch
and connect to it. Your MetaWatch will populate with the default widgets to get you started, but we’re not
done yet!
3.Head to your iOS Bluetooth Settings in the Settings menu. You’ll see MetaWatch SW12 in the Discoverable
Devices; tap it.
4.Enter 0000 when asked for the pairing code. One more thing to do!
5.Tap the Settings arrow next to MetaWatch SW12 in this screen, and flip the Show Notifications toggle to
ON.
6.All done! Go and show it off!
3.2Android Users
1.First things first, you need the MetaWatch Manager application from the Play Store. Install it and move to
Step 2.
2.Turn your Bluetooth antenna on. Your phone does not have to be discoverable to pair.
3.Run a scan for devices. When the scan is complete, find MetaWatch SW12 in the list of discoverable devices
and tap it.
4.You may be asked for a Bluetooth key or passcode. If prompted, enter 0000.
5.Open the MetaWatch Manager application and tap the Connect button. The app will load your watch with
the default widgets.
6.All done! Go and show it off!

4USING YOUR WATCH
4.1Widgets
All widgets on your MetaWatch are managed in the MetaWatch Manger app on your phone. Tap an empty area to add,
tap an existing widget to remove the widget, invert the color, or view more setttings. The available widgets range
from clocks and calendars to stock, weather, battery information, and more. Your MetaWatch has four screens for
widgets, and you can arrange them any way you like.
4.2Notifications
Appointment reminders, text messages, and calls no longer require you to dig your phone out of your pocket. Your
MetaWatch is at the ready to display all of these. Each of these display for a short amount of time before switching
back to your widget screen. Below are some examples.
Quick Tip: You can exit a notification by pressing the top-right button. You can also replay your last notification with
the same button from the widget screen.

4.3Music
Having music play from your phone is one of the greatest conveniences a smartphone offers, right until you want to
skip a song or pause it quickly. MetaWatch solves that with the built-in music mode. Push the left-middle button and
you’ve got control of your phone’s music player like never before. Below is a shot of the screen, as well as the
button map.
4.4System Alerts
When your MetaWatch loses connection or needs a charge, it lets you know through system alerts. It even lets you
know when your phone is out of range—never lose your phone again! Below is an example of the system alerts and
what they look like.

4.5Status Screen
At any point from the Widget Screen, you can check the status of some settings on your MetaWatch, including the
Bluetooth radio (on / off), phone pairing (on / off / warning), and detailed battery status. The hardware and
software versions of your MetaWatch are also displayed. See below for an example.

5SETTINGS MENU
Your MetaWatch gives you quick access to some key settings right on the MetaWatch itself. Most of these settings
are either on / off, indicated by a checkmark and an X, respectively. Below is an example, as well as the button map.
Sections 5.1 through 5.6 give detailed explanations of each setting.
5.1Bluetooth On / Off
There are three states that appear with this button.
OFF LOADING ON
5.2Seconds On / Off
With the clock widget active, this toggles whether or not seconds appear on the clock. Not every size clock widget
supports seconds displayed. Also, having seconds displayed will reduce battery life.
5.3Return to Widget Screen
Pretty straight forward here—this button brings you back to your widget screen.
5.4Link Alarm On / Off
This is on by default as your safety net. The minute you’ve walked one step too far from your phone, this setting will
make your watch vibrate to let you know the connection has been lost. With this setting off, you’ll still be alerted
but not by vibration. Instead, a system icon will be displayed on your widget screen to show the disconnection.

5.5Select Light / Dark Theme Toggle
Just when you thought you couldn’t customize your MetaWatch any further, we’ve thrown in the option to invert
your display. This option inverts the entire display for all screens, switching between white on mirror and mirror on
white. Below are examples of both.
5.6Turn On Light
Just like the Return to Widget Screen button, there’s no surprise here. This button turns your light on for when
you’re in low-light conditions and need to see your display. The light is on a timer and will shut off automatically
after five (5) seconds.
