Introduction
Adjusting the time on your Willful Smart Watch ensures that you stay punctual and organized. Whether you’ve just traveled to a different time zone or the clock is a bit off, knowing how to change the time is crucial. This guide will walk you through the process step-by-step, so you can make sure your watch reflects the correct time be it manually adjusting or syncing with your smartphone.
Preparing Your Willful Smart Watch
Before you dive into adjusting the time, it’s essential to prepare your Willful Smart Watch. This step ensures a smooth process and eliminates potential hiccups.
- Fully Charge the Watch: Begin by ensuring your watch is fully charged. A low battery can interfere with its functions and may interrupt the time-changing process.
- Check the Firmware Version: Make sure your watch’s firmware is up-to-date. Firmware updates often come with improvements and bug fixes that might affect time settings.
- Restart the Watch: Restarting can clear any temporary glitches that might affect the settings. To do this, turn off your watch and then turn it back on after a few seconds.
These preparation steps create a foundation for smoothly accessing and altering the time settings on your Willful Smart Watch.
Accessing the Time Settings
With your watch fully charged and updated, it’s time to locate the time settings. Regardless of the specific model of your Willful Smart Watch, the following instructions will help guide you.
- Wake up the Watch: Press the side button or tap the screen to activate your watch.
- Navigate to the Menu: Swipe down from the home screen to open the main menu.
- Find the Settings Option: Look for the ‘Settings’ option, usually represented by a gear icon. Tap on this to enter the settings menu.
- Select Time and Date: Scroll through the settings until you find the ‘Time & Date’ section. Tap on it to access the time-setting options.
In this section, you have successfully navigated to the area where you can adjust the time settings.
Manually Changing the Time
If you prefer to change the time manually without syncing to your phone, follow these steps:
- Select Time Format: Decide whether you want a 12-hour or 24-hour format and set accordingly.
- Set the Time: Tap on the ‘Set Time’ option. Use the on-screen + and – buttons or swipe gestures to adjust the hour and minute hands.
- Adjust Hours: Swipe up or down to change the hour.
- Adjust Minutes: Swipe up or down to change the minutes.
- Confirm Time: Once you have set the correct time, press ‘OK’ or your watch’s ‘Check’ button to confirm.
- Set the Date: Similarly, if needed, adjust the date by tapping ‘Set Date’ and swiping through months, days, and years.
- Save Changes: Don’t forget to save your adjustments. Your watch might have a ‘Save’ button or it may automatically save upon confirming.
Manually changing the time works best in areas where signal strength is weak, preventing seamless syncing with a smartphone. For precision adjustments, especially to sync all your devices, the next section explains how to sync your watch with your smartphone.

Syncing ensures that your watch time updates automatically so you never have to worry about incorrect timing.
