The imoo Z1 Smart Watch is designed to provide a safe and fun communication tool for children while giving parents peace of mind with features like GPS tracking, voice calls, and video chats. To get the most out of your imoo Z1, the first step is to set up and bind the watch to the app. In this blog, we’ll walk you through the setup process in a simple and straightforward way.

Step 1: Unboxing and Checking Package Contents

Before starting, ensure you have all the necessary items from the imoo Z1 package:

• Watch Phone (Model: W1923AO/W2123AO)
• Charging Cable
• SIM Card Picker
• User Manual

With these essentials ready, you’re now prepared to set up the smartwatch.

Step 2: Choosing the Right SIM Card

The imoo Z1 requires a standard nano-SIM card. Make sure your SIM card supports mobile data and caller ID, as these are crucial for the watch to function fully. The watch is compatible with several carriers, including Vodafone, O2, and Three, making it easy to connect in many regions. If you're using a Mobile Network Virtual Operator (MNVO), head to the imoo App and complete the Access Point Name (APN) settings for seamless service.

Step 3: Installing the SIM Card

Once you have the correct SIM card:

1. Open the SIM card deck at the back of the watch using the provided SIM card picker.
2. Insert the nano-SIM with the gold chip facing upwards.
3. Secure the SIM card deck back into the watch.

Step 4: Downloading and Installing the imoo App

To control and access most of the watch’s features, you need to download the imoo app, which is available on both Google Play and the Apple App Store. You can search for "imoo" or "Watch Phone" in the store, or simply scan the QR code provided in the user manual to download the app directly.

After downloading the app, it’s time to bind the watch:

1. Open the imoo app and either register a new account or log in to your existing one.
2. Power on the imoo Z1 Smart Watch by holding the power button for six seconds.
3. Follow the instructions displayed on the watch or swipe through the watch interface to find the Bind Code.
4. In the app, scan the QR code displayed on the watch or manually enter the Bind Code to complete the binding process.

Step 6: Connecting the Watch to Wi-Fi

To make video calls and send messages without using mobile data, connect the imoo Z1 to a Wi-Fi network:

1. On the watch, navigate to "More > Settings > WLAN" to enable Wi-Fi.
2. Alternatively, from the app, go to "More > Watch’s Networks" and add the Wi-Fi connection details.
