TL;DR

Your watch disconnects when it's out of range and reconnects when you're close again, just like an Apple Watch. If it doesn't, open Lynio on both devices and wait up to 1 minute.

Why does my watch disconnect?

Lynio can't keep your watch connected when it's too far from your iPhone. This is normal. Once you're close again, it reconnects.

What if my watch doesn't reconnect?

  1. 1
    Keep your watch and iPhone close together.
  2. 2
    Open Lynio on both devices.
  3. 3
    Wait 30 seconds to 1 minute.
  4. 4
    If they still don't connect, close Lynio on your iPhone completely and open it again. Then redo the steps above.

No need to buy an Apple Watch

Use Lynio to connect your Wear OS watch (Android Watch) to your iPhone.

What if it refuses to connect?

This is rare. Try these steps in order:

  1. 1
    Check that Bluetooth is on for your watch and iPhone.
  2. 2
    In Lynio on your iPhone, go to your watch settings.
  3. 3
    At the bottom, tap Forget Watch.
  4. 4
    Follow the instructions in Lynio to pair again.

No need to buy an Apple Watch
