K88H Is it possible update ?

Hello all,
I wanted a information.
I recently bought the following Smartwatch: K88H. The smartwatch works pretty well with IOS and I don't think it can be seen that the restrictions of IOS.
It is possible to update the firmware inside ?
Thanks to all
Vincenzo

Same boat
+1 - I have been reading what I can find on the internet about hacking/updating K88H but unfortunately there isn't a satisfactory amount of resources regarding this smart watch.
It's a great gadget though - if in doubt, just buy it, a great value for the price!
Back to the topic of this thread - There is value in looking for resources that talk about hacking/updating nuclear os as it's operating system that the watch is using.

How can I install watch faces using my iphone? What app on iphone that can install watch faces and apps on k88h? Mediatek Smartdevice by Liang Lv from App Store can't install watch faces unlike Mediatek Smartdevice by Mediatek Inc from google play.

I also have the K88H. I did not like some of the screens on the Notifications. It has a huge "BLOCK" button that if you touch it the screen pops up asking if you want to block these kinds of messages. I blocked all the apps I wanted in the Mediatek SmartDevice app on my Android Phone. So why would I want that second button in the way?
Long story short I used Golem_'s tutorial and found a better firmware. Follow his instructions to the letter. Make sure you back up your existing firmware before continuing. Our watch is the MTK2502A 128MB. My favorite firmware so far is the X-Watch firmware. Golem_ also has a collection of firmware for you to begin with. Engjoy...

Best China smartwatch for sports

Hello everybody!
It's about two days that I'm trying to find a good smartwatch for my needs without results.
I would like to buy an independent Android 5.1 smartwatch I can also track my activity with. I saw that most of these products (no. 1 d6, kw88, zeblaze blitz, etc) have hr, altimeter, barometer, gyroscope and other useful sensor but they have a dummy app that checks heart rate only when you ask for it and a pedometer (I don't understand if it works continuously or only when you open the app).
Do you know if one of them does support other apps with whom I could monitor my daily steps (without keeping an app opened on the screen) but also run, bike, and maybe gym exercises?
Thank you and sorry for my bad English.

Any suggestions? I'm not sure but I think I read something about some smartwatch that could support usage of sensors by fitness apps as Google fit...

Google Fit works on the watch as does other exercise recording apps such as Wahoo Fitness. GPS works OK, heart rate does not work with any 3rd part apps as far as I can tell. So I use a BLE heart rate strap paired to the watch.

Smart Watch For Continuous Heart Rate Monitoring

Friends,
I need to make a decision on which smart watch to buy and from several models and not clear description, I'm lost.
I need your help/recommendation on this.
My needs are
(1) Continuous Heart Rate Monitoring of course.
(2) #1 should be automatic, so once I put on the watch, it starts monitoring and I do not need to go through any menu and need not press any key to ask it to measure/start monitoring heart rate.
(3) Need to be at least sync to app and be able to download/export the data.
(4) If possible, it should track my running/jogging/walking activity.
(5) Also important, I need time display in large numericals or at least in larger fonts. I hate "fitbits" for their small display as it's harder for me to see small fonts on their display.
On AliExpress, I looked at GW01, X10, X20, K88H, K89 and No1. G5.
Lastly I also read about Zeblaze Blitz.
Now I'm not sure which one I should go for!
Any suggestions appreciated.
Thanks!

I own both k88h and gw01. K88h does not have continuous heary rate. You need to go into menu, enter the heart app, and press start.
For gw01, it does have continuous heart rate. but you still need to into menu, open the app.It will keep measuring your heartrate, and display live result, but only if you keep the app open.

Thank you so much for guidance. I can have the app open and allow the heart rate measuring from GW01.
Do you think it can connect to any fitness app, if yes, can you please tell me which one is more compatible with this watch?
Thanks again,
DP.

There are 2 main app, which is Mediatek Smart Device and Fundo Wear app.
1. Mediatek smart device only allow you to coonnect your phone to the watch, setting app notification, install vxp to watch etc. But no fitness function. But it said that it can be integrated with Google Fit app. But I never tried this.
2. Fundo Wear app same like mediatek smart device but it already have build in fitness function. It will synchronized your watch data into the app.
I cannot tell much which is the best, because I rarely use the watch for fitness purpose now.

Fossil 5 + DIESEL ON Watch Faces

I recently bought a Fossil gen5 Carlyle HR. (Technical data available upon request)
I bought it for the sole purpose of being able to use the DIESEL ON Watch Faces "Heads Up" face on the watch.
Here is the issue though:
It seems that DIESEL ON Watch Faces is a system app, install from the play store is not an option (neither is uninstall) only enable is an option.
After enabling I try to set the face to my current face.
I select the default "Heads up" style and apply it.
The face turns into a "DIESEL ON" logo and no face ever loads.
When I reboot thinking that might be the problem the system boots up with the DIESEL ON Watch Faces app in a disabled status.
I have tried clearing the data and cache for this app, but I always have the same results.
Does anyone have any clues or tips I can try?
thanks ahead of time for your time and effort in helping me solve this problem!

bump !

I will reply to you shortly with solution....

Please reply to thread and not in private message. I'd also like to get that information.

I too would like to know this. Please reply in the thread !

i ended up returning that watch (the battery life was terrible).
however have since gotten a samsung gear sport. although the carlyle and gear sport are on different OS, the same apps work on both.
I found a diesel ON copy in watchmaker premium called On HUD.
that is what i have been using.

Developing an app to access local heart-rate monitor

I'm looking to develop an app that can run on a low-cost full Android smartwatch - like a Kospet or Lemfo - that can take continuous readings from the built-in heart rate monitor (HRM). Does anyone know through experience if these sensors can be made accessible to a third app and if so, how?
