Introduction

Your SmartWatch 3 accessory, which is powered by Android Wear, organises your information, suggests what you need, and shows it to you before you even ask. Use it to receive and reply to messages, view appointment notifications, and glance at weather updates – all from the convenience of your wrist. There’s no need to reach

for a phone or tablet as long as a Bluetooth® connection has been established with your SmartWatch 3.

Using voice commands, you can ask questions like “When is my next meeting?” or “How do I get to the train station?” and get answers immediately. You can also use the SmartWatch 3 to keep track of your daily step count. To extend functionality, you can download new apps from Google Play™ as well as updates to existing apps. You get automatic notifications when such updates are available.

The SmartWatch 3 works with any Android™ smartphone or tablet running Android™ version 4.3 or higher. To see if your Android™ device is compatible for use with Android wear, go to http://g.co/WearCheck from your phone or tablet.

For optimal performance and functionality, use the SmartWatch 3 together with the wristband provided.

For your SmartWatch 3 accessory to work properly, you must first install the latest version of the Android Wear application on your Android™ phone or tablet and then pair and connect the phone or tablet with your accessory. There are two ways to perform this setup. You can use NFC, which automatically links you to a download page for Android Wear on Google Play™. Alternatively, if your phone or tablet doesn’t support NFC, you can use the manual setup option. Remember that you can only pair the SmartWatch 3 with one phone or tablet at a time.
