Your watch may experience lines across the watch's screen if it has suffered some accidental damage.

Please contact our support team and we will be delighted to help you resolve this issue.

- Please ensure you purchase and activate a sim plan for your number via the activation page.

If, when attempting to bind your Odyssey watch, and after entering your 4 digit binding code into the MyMoochies App, the error "Watch Not Found" is displayed, there are a couple of troubleshooting steps to perform to allow you to successfully bind your watch.

1.  Refresh the Binding Code and try again.

Click on the Refresh icon underneath the Binding Code. This will regenerate a new Binding Code.

Try entering this new code into the MyMoochies App and see if your watch is detected.

2. Ensure your Wi-Fi network accepts 2.4Ghz Connections

Your Moochies watch needs to connect to a Wi-Fi network that supports 2.4Ghz connections. This is sometimes known as "Compatibility Mode".

If you are not sure if your Wi-Fi network supports 2.4Ghz, enable the Wi-Fi hotspot on your mobile phone, re-enter the Binding Code into your MyMoochies App, and try again.

Please ensure, when enabling the hotspot on your phone that this also supports "Compatibility Mode"

3. Restart your Moochies Watch AND your Phone

If you still are failing to bind your Moochies Watch, please try restarting both your Moochies Watch, and your Phone and try again.

4. Permissions

The MyMoochies App requires certain permissions to allow it to scan for nearby Bluetooth devices. One of these permissions is called "Precise Location". Without this permission set, your phone will be unable to scan for nearby devices, and won't detect your Moochies watch.

If you long press the MyMoochies App Icon, and then press "App Info", you will get to select the required permissions if they are not already set.

Under Permissions, click the "Location" position, and ensure it is set as "Allow only while using the app".

Ensure "Use precise location" is selected.

5. Battery Usage

Later versions of Android have controls in how an individual App can use the battery. In restrictive mode, this disables nearby device scanning, which can result in your Moochies watch not being detected when you bind in the App.

If you long press the MyMoochies App Icon, and then press "App Info" button. 

In this menu, there will be a menu item "Battery", or "App Battery Usage".

OR

Clicking on the "Battery" / "App Battery Usage" Menu, ensure it is set as "Unrestricted":

AFTER MAKING THIS CHANGE, RESTART BOTH YOUR PHONE AND YOUR MOOCHIES WATCH.

If, after following this troubleshooting guide you still have issues, please don't hesitate to contact the Moochies support team at help@moochies.com or by using the Live Chat from the Moochies.com website.
