It is splashproof and showerproof, but we do not recommend wearing it whilst taking part in swimming or watersports. If you do get your Smart Watch wet, always dry it with a soft cloth and do not use any heated equipment (i.e hairdryers) to dry your watch.

Easily change the default language of your watch through the Sekonda Smart App to one of 17 languages including English, Spanish, Polish, Portuguese, German, French, Czech, Slovakian, Hungarian, Italian, Romanian, Turkish, Croatian, Dutch, Danish, Estonian and Greek.

If this doesn't fix the problem, make sure that you have enabled permissions to access your location on your smartphone as well as within the app.

If you do set your Smart Watch to have an always on display, please be aware that this will cause the battery of the watch to run out quicker.
