InfiniTime quick user guide
Setting the time
By default, InfiniTime starts on the digital watch face. It’ll probably display the epoch time (1 Jan 1970, 00:00).
You can sync the time using companion apps.
- Gadgetbridge automatically synchronizes the time when you connect it to your watch. More information on Gadgetbridge here
- Sync the time with NRFConnect
- Sync the time with your browser https://hubmartin.github.io/WebBLEWatch/
You can also set the time in the settings without a companion app. (version >1.7.0)
InfiniTime doesn’t handle daylight savings automatically, so make sure to set the correct time or sync it with a companion app.
