Access the Time Settings Through the Main Menu

To change the time on your GloryFit smartwatch, start by waking the screen. Tap the screen once or press the side button to turn it on. From the home screen (usually showing the current time), swipe down from the top of the display to open the main menu.

Look for a Settings icon—it typically looks like a gear or wrench symbol. Tap it to enter the settings menu. The exact position varies slightly by GloryFit model, but Settings is almost always in the top row or near the top of the menu list.

Key Takeaways

  • Wake your GloryFit screen and swipe down to access the main menu, then tap the Settings icon.
  • Navigate to System Settings or Time Settings and select the option to change time manually or sync with your phone.
  • If you choose manual adjustment, use the plus and minus buttons to set hours and minutes separately.
  • After saving your changes, return to the home screen to confirm the new time is displaying correctly.
  • If automatic sync is available, connecting your watch to the GloryFit app on your phone will update the time without manual entry.

Find the Time or System Settings Option

Once you are in Settings, scroll down through the menu options using the up and down arrows or by swiping up and down on the screen. Look for System Settings, Time Settings, or straightforward Time—different GloryFit models label this differently.

Some models group time settings under a broader "System" or "Device" category. If you do not see a dedicated time option, check under System or General Settings. Tap the option once you locate it.

Choose Between Manual Time Entry and Phone Sync

After opening Time Settings, you will usually see two options: Set Time Manually and Sync with Phone (or similar wording). The sync option is faster if your GloryFit is already paired with the GloryFit mobile app on your smartphone.

If you select Sync with Phone, the watch will pull the time from your phone automatically. This is the easiest route and keeps your watch synchronized without any manual work. If you choose Manual, proceed to the next section.

Adjust Hours and Minutes if Setting Time Manually

When you select Manual Time Entry, the watch will display two fields: one for hours and one for minutes. The hours field is usually highlighted first. Use the plus button (or up arrow) to increase the hour and the minus button (or down arrow) to decrease it. Press repeatedly until you reach the correct hour.

Once the hour is set, move to the minutes field by pressing the right arrow or tapping the minutes section. Repeat the same process—use plus and minus to adjust minutes in increments (usually 1 or 5 minutes per press, depending on your model). Set the minutes to match the current time.

Some GloryFit models also include a 12-hour or 24-hour format toggle in this menu. Check whether your watch is set to the time format you prefer before saving.

Save Your Changes and Return to the Home Screen

After setting both hours and minutes, look for a Confirm, Save, or OK button. Tap it to save your new time. The watch will return you to the Time Settings menu or back to the main Settings screen.

Press the back button or swipe left to exit Settings and return to the home screen. The watch should now display your updated time. Glance at the main display to confirm the change took effect correctly.

Sync Your Watch to Your Phone if Time Keeps Resetting

If you notice the time on your GloryFit drifts or resets frequently, the watch may not have a reliable internal clock. The best solution is to pair it with the GloryFit mobile app on your phone and enable automatic time sync. Open the GloryFit app, go to Device Settings, and turn on Auto Sync Time or Sync with Phone.

Once this is enabled, your watch will update its time whenever it connects to your phone via Bluetooth. This prevents the time from drifting and saves you from manual adjustments. Check that Bluetooth is turned on for both devices and that they remain paired.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

The most common error is forgetting to save after adjusting the time. If you change the hours and minutes but do not tap Confirm or Save, the watch will discard your changes when you exit the menu. Always look for and press the save button before leaving Time Settings.

Another frequent mistake is confusing 12-hour and 24-hour formats. If your watch shows 14:30 but you expected 2:30 PM, check the time format setting. You can usually toggle between formats in the same Time Settings menu. Additionally, if your phone and watch are paired, make sure the phone's time is correct before syncing—the watch will copy whatever time your phone displays.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does my GloryFit smartwatch time keep changing on its own?

Your watch may be syncing automatically with your phone if the GloryFit app has auto-sync enabled. Check the app settings and disable auto-sync if you want to keep a manual time. Alternatively, the watch battery may be low, causing the internal clock to lose accuracy. Charge your watch fully and try setting the time again.

Can I set the time without using the GloryFit app?

Yes. You can set the time directly on the watch using the manual method described above—no app required. straightforward access Settings, find Time Settings, and adjust hours and minutes using the buttons. The app is only needed if you want automatic sync with your phone.

What if my watch is stuck on the wrong time and won't let me change it?

Try restarting your watch by holding the side button for 10 to 15 seconds until you see a power-off screen, then press the button again to turn it back on. After the restart, return to Time Settings and attempt to change the time again. If the problem persists, check that your watch has enough battery charge.

Does changing the time affect my workout data or step count?

Changing the time display does not erase or alter your recorded workouts or steps. Your activity history remains intact. The time change only affects what the watch shows on the screen going forward.

How often should I check and adjust the time on my GloryFit?

If you use phone sync, you should not need to adjust the time manually at all—the watch updates automatically. If you set time manually, check it once a month or whenever you notice it drifting more than a few minutes. Most GloryFit watches hold accurate time for several weeks between adjustments.
