Congratulations,

You are the happy owner of the VEA
Buddy smartwatch.

Buddy is the faithful companion to
your smartphone (Android, iPhone and
Windows).

It vibrates and displays notifications that
you have set up. It can control remotely
your smartphone without taking it out
of your pocket. It will also give some fit­ness information through its sensors.

You are now free and always con­nected.

This quick start guide contains basic
information to familiarise yourself with
your Buddy.
