Firmware updates on your watch provide performance improvements, bug fixes, and feature enhancements. To check for and perform a firmware update on your smartwatch:

1.  Open the mobile app on your phone.
2.  Tap the three horizontal lines on the top-left and choose **Settings**.
3.  Scroll down and tap **Update Firmware**.
4.  Follow the on-screen instructions. Your watch will automatically reset after a firmware update.

**Note:** Make sure your watch is connected to your phone (within Bluetooth range) during the entire process, and your mobile device is connected to Wi-Fi or cellular data. The faster your connection speed, the quicker the update.
