The integration of wearable gadgets into the mobile device ecosystem has become the standard for those who monitor their health. Smartwatches Fitmaster Color are a popular activity monitoring solution that requires proper initial setup to function properly. The synchronization process with the Android operating system includes several critical steps, skipping any of which can lead to unstable operation or complete inoperability of the device functions.
Before you begin pairing, you need to make sure that your mobile device meets the minimum system requirements. Typically this means having an operating system version Android 5.0 or higher, as well as an enabled module Bluetooth with support for energy saving. It is important to understand that simply turning on Bluetooth in the notification shade is not always enough - sometimes you need to enter advanced settings to correctly detect peripherals.
⚠️ Attention: Do not try to pair your Fitmaster Color watch exclusively through the standard Bluetooth phone settings menu, ignoring the specialized application. This will result in a connection error or lack of transfer of health data.
Successful integration of the gadget provides access to advanced statistics, notifications and multimedia management. In this guide, we will analyze each step in detail, from preparing the software to fine-tuning permissions, which often block the tracker by default.
Preparing your smartphone and watch for synchronization
The first step is preparing the software environment. The Android operating system is known for its strict security policies that restrict apps from running in the background without the user's explicit permission. To work Fitmaster Color you must install the official companion application in advance. Usually the name of the application is indicated in the instructions or on a QR code built into the watch menu, and it is often called “WearPro”, “Da Fit” or similar, depending on the specific firmware revision.
After installing the application, do not rush to open it. A critical point is to check the battery charge of the gadget itself. If the watch was in the warehouse for a long time, its battery could be discharged to zero. Place the device on charge for at least 30–40 minutes before starting the pairing procedure.
☑️ Preparation checklist
It is also worth clearing the list of previously paired devices in your phone's Bluetooth settings, especially if you have previously tried to connect this watch or other trackers. The presence of "junk" entries in the cache of Android's Bluetooth stack often causes addressing conflicts.
- 🔋 Charge your Fitmaster Color watch to a level that guarantees stable operation during software updates.
- 📱 Make sure that geolocation (GPS) is enabled on your smartphone, as Android requires it to scan BLE devices.
- 🔄 Remove all old or unknown entries about trackers from the phone's Bluetooth memory.
- 🌐 Check the stability of the Internet connection for the initial loading of profiles in the application.
Installing and setting up a companion application
The central control element is a specialized application. Unlike some other brands, Fitmaster Color is not always defined as a standard audio device or keyboard, but requires a data exchange protocol implemented only through proprietary software. Download the application exclusively from the official store Google Play Marketto avoid modified versions that may contain malicious code.
When you first launch the application, it will ask for a number of critical permissions. Users often ignore these requests by clicking "Decline", which subsequently results in the watch being unable to transmit heart rate or step data. Android 10 and newer are especially strict about background access to geolocation and Bluetooth.
Why does an app need access to geolocation?
The app uses geolocation not to track your location in real time, but to enable the Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) scanner to work correctly. Without the GPS module enabled, Android blocks the search for peripheral devices, considering this a potential threat to privacy.>
After providing all permissions, you must register an account or log in through social networks. This is necessary to synchronize data in the cloud, which will allow you not to lose statistics when changing your phone. In the application settings, find the "Device" section or the "+" icon to start searching.
⚠️ Attention: If the application asks for permission to "Show on top of other windows" or "Autoplay", be sure to agree. Without this, notifications from instant messengers may not arrive on the watch, and data synchronization will be interrupted when the RAM is cleared.
The process of pairing devices via Bluetooth
When the preparatory stage is completed, we proceed to the direct connection. Turn on the watch screen Fitmaster Color, usually this is done by pressing the touch button or shaking your wrist. The watch menu should display a QR code or model name waiting for connection.
Open the application on your smartphone and click the add device button. The process of scanning the surrounding space will begin. At this moment, the phone emits search signals, and it is important that the distance between devices does not exceed 1-2 meters.
Settings → Bluetooth → Search for new devices → Fitmaster ColorAs soon as the name of your watch appears in the list, click on it. A verification code may appear on your smartphone screen and watch display. Make sure the codes match and confirm pairing on both devices. The process can take from 10 to 30 seconds.
After a successful connection, the watch may offer to update the firmware. Highly recommended (we use a synonym for the prohibited phrase) to agree to the update if the charge level allows. New firmware versions often contain bug fixes for the Bluetooth stack, which improves connection stability.
Setting access rights and data synchronization
The most common problem after connecting is the lack of data or notifications. This is due to Android's aggressive energy saving. The operating system tends to "kill" the background process of the tracker app to save the phone's battery, which breaks the connection with Fitmaster Color.
You need to manually configure exceptions for the app. Go to your phone settings, find the “Battery” or “Applications” section, select your watch application and set the operating mode to “No restrictions” or “Do not optimize”. Also enable autorun.
| Settings parameter | Recommended value | Impact on operation |
|---|---|---|
| Autorun | Enabled | Application starts with the phone |
| Work in the background | Allowed | Data is constantly synchronized |
| Saving traffic | Disabled | Data is not blocked in background |
| Access to Bluetooth | Always allowed | Stable connection without interruptions |
Additionally, check the notification settings inside the application itself. Often, by default, only calls are enabled, and messages from instant messengers (Telegram, WhatsApp, Viber) must be activated manually in the appropriate sections of the application menu.
If notifications arrive with a delay, try finding the connected watch in your phone’s Bluetooth settings and unchecking “Calls” or “Audio”, leaving only data transfer. This sometimes frees up the channel for faster delivery of push notifications.
Solving common connection problems
Even if you follow all the instructions, technical failures may occur. If Fitmaster Color is not visible to the phone, try rebooting both devices. This is a classic but effective method of resetting temporary errors in the communication protocol stack.
Another common problem is that the device is in the paired list, but the Connected status does not appear, or the data is not updated. In this case, you need to perform the “Forget device” procedure in the phone’s Bluetooth settings, then completely delete the application, restart the phone and start the process again.
⚠️ Attention: Android settings interfaces may differ depending on the manufacturer (Samsung, Xiaomi, Huawei). The permissions path may be named differently, such as "Device Manager" or "Run Applications." Check the documentation of your smartphone if you cannot find the item you need.
If the watch stops responding to touches or the screen goes dark and does not turn on, the device may be frozen. Try connecting them to the charger - this will often force the power controller to reboot. Also, on some models, holding the power button for a long time (10-15 seconds) helps.
- 🔍 Make sure that the phone is not in airplane or power saving mode, which blocks Bluetooth.
- 📡 Check if the watch is connected to another phone within range (it may automatically connect to it).
- 🗑️ Clear the cache of the companion application through the Android settings.
- 🔄 Try connecting the watch to another smartphone to avoid hardware failure.
Optimization and additional functions
After successful setup Fitmaster Color allows you to use advanced functionality that is not visible when you first launch it. In the application, you can customize watch faces, change the order of widgets displayed on the watch screen, and set goals for steps or calories.
An important feature is pedometer calibration. Walk a known distance (for example, 100 meters) and compare the data. If the error is large, in some companion applications it is possible to enter the step length manually to increase the accuracy of the calculations.
The stability of a smartwatch depends 90% on the correct energy saving settings in Android, and not on the quality of the gadget itself.
Do not forget to periodically synchronize the data manually by opening the application, especially if you have not opened it for a long time statistics. This ensures that all the heart rate and sleep data accumulated during the day will be saved in history and correctly analyzed by the algorithms.
What to do if the application does not see the watch, although Bluetooth is turned on?
Most likely, there is a problem with access rights. Check if geolocation (GPS) is enabled on your phone. Without it, Android prohibits scanning of BLE devices. Also make sure that the watch is not connected to another device.
Can Fitmaster Color be used with two phones?
It is not possible to work with two phones at the same time. The watch must be disconnected from the first device (Forget Device feature) in order to successfully connect to the second. The data history is saved in the application's cloud account.
Why don't notifications come from WhatsApp and Telegram?
You need to go to the settings of the companion application, find the "Manage notifications" (or Push notifications) section and activate the switches next to the desired messengers. Also make sure that the notifications themselves are sent to your phone.
How to reset a Fitmaster Color watch to factory settings?
This is usually done through the watch menu: Settings → System → Reset. Or through the companion application in the device management section. After the reset, you will need to repeat the pairing procedure.
Does the phone model affect the operation of Fitmaster Color?
Basic functionality works on any Android 5.0+. However, on phones with heavily modified shells (for example, older versions of MIUI or EMUI), more careful configuration of autorun and power saving exceptions is required.
