GizmoWatch 2 - Link to Smartphone

Here's how to troubleshoot if your GizmoWatch 2 isn't connecting to the caregiver's smartphone.
  • It's necessary for the GizmoWatch™ 2 to link to the caregiver's Android™ Smartphone or Apple® iPhone® for the device to function properly.
  • Follow the steps below if the GizmoWatch 2 doesn't link to the smartphone during initial activation / setup.
  1. Ensure the primary caregiver has an Android Smartphone (OS 5.0 or later) or an Apple iPhone (iOS 9.0 or later) with a data plan and has data coverage.
  2. Ensure the primary caregiver has the GizmoHub app installed (Google Play™ Store or Apple® App Store® ).
  3. Ensure the caregiver used their mobile number to create an account.
    If the Gizmo phone number was used, refer to Change the Guardian Profile Mobile Number.
  4. Ensure the date and time settings on the smartphone are set automatically.
  5. Ensure the primary caregiver has the correct mobile number of the GizmoWatch 2.
    The primary caregiver follows the instructions on the app to enter the needed info.
    If the GizmoWatch 2 does not link to the primary caregiver, you're not communicating with the device. Try turning Wi-Fi off and linking it again. Here are other possible causes:
    • The caregiver entered the wrong Gizmo device mobile number.
    • GizmoWatch 2 mobile number has an SMS (i.e., text messaging) block or short code messaging isn't working properly.
    • The GizmoWatch 2 is not in a coverage area.
    • The phone doesn't have data coverage.
    • The phone has a Caller ID block.
