What You’ll Need Before You Start

Before diving into the setup, make sure you have the following:
- A fully charged MK Smart Watch (models like MK88, MK90, or MK99 typically support talk-thru features).
- A compatible smartphone (Android 6.0+ or iOS 10.0+).
- Stable Bluetooth connection between your phone and watch.
- The official MK companion app installed (e.g., MK Wear, Da Fit, or VeryFitPro—check your watch model for the correct app).
- Access to your phone’s Bluetooth and audio settings.
Having these ready ensures a smooth setup process. If your watch didn’t come with a manual, don’t worry—most MK models follow similar steps. Let’s get started!
Step 1: Pair Your MK Smart Watch with Your Smartphone
The foundation of talk-thru functionality is a solid Bluetooth connection. Without it, your watch can’t transmit audio.
Turn on Bluetooth on Both Devices
First, enable Bluetooth on your smartphone. Go to Settings > Bluetooth and toggle it on. On your MK Smart Watch, swipe down from the top of the screen to access quick settings, then tap the Bluetooth icon to turn it on.
Put Your Watch in Pairing Mode
Most MK watches enter pairing mode automatically when powered on for the first time. If not, go to Settings > Bluetooth > Search for Devices on your watch. You should see your phone’s name appear. Tap it to connect.
Confirm the Pairing on Your Phone
Your phone will prompt you to confirm the connection. Tap Pair or Connect. You may see a passcode (like “0000” or “1234”)—enter it if required. Once paired, you’ll see a confirmation message on both devices.
Pro Tip: If pairing fails, restart both devices and try again. Sometimes a simple reboot resolves connectivity hiccups.
Step 2: Install and Set Up the Companion App
The companion app is your control center for managing call and audio settings. It syncs your watch with your phone and unlocks advanced features.
Download the Correct App
Search for the official app in your phone’s app store. Common names include:
- MK Wear (for newer MK models)
- Da Fit (popular for MK88, MK90)
- VeryFitPro (used by many budget smartwatches)
Check your watch’s packaging or user manual for the recommended app.
Create an Account and Log In
Open the app and sign up with your email or phone number. Some apps allow guest mode, but creating an account lets you save settings and sync data.
Connect the App to Your Watch
Tap Add Device or Scan QR Code (some watches have a QR code on the back). Follow the on-screen prompts to link your watch. The app will confirm when the connection is successful.
Grant Necessary Permissions
The app will ask for access to:
- Phone calls
- Microphone
- Contacts
- Notifications
Allow these permissions—they’re essential for talk-thru functionality.
Step 3: Enable Call and Audio Features in the App
Now that your watch and app are connected, it’s time to activate the talk-thru settings.
Navigate to Call Settings
In the app, go to Device Settings or My Watch. Look for options like Call Function, Phone Calls, or Audio Settings.
Turn On “Answer Calls on Watch”
Toggle the switch for Answer Calls on Watch or Call via Watch. This allows incoming calls to ring on your watch and lets you answer using the built-in speaker and microphone.
Enable Voice Assistant (Optional but Recommended)
If your watch supports it, enable Voice Assistant (e.g., Google Assistant or Siri). This lets you say “Hey Google” or “Hey Siri” and give commands directly from your wrist.
Test the Settings
Make a test call from your phone to a friend or family member. When it rings, answer it on your watch. Speak clearly and listen for audio quality.
Note: Some MK models only support call notifications—not full audio. If you can’t hear the caller, your watch may not support two-way audio. Check your model’s specs.
Step 4: Configure Bluetooth Audio Routing on Your Phone
Even with the app set up, your phone must route call audio to the watch. Here’s how to ensure it does.
Go to Bluetooth Settings on Your Phone
Open Settings > Bluetooth and find your MK Smart Watch in the list of paired devices.
Tap the Info Icon (i) or Settings Gear
Next to your watch’s name, tap the info icon or gear symbol. This opens advanced Bluetooth options.
Enable “Phone Audio” and “Media Audio”
Make sure both Phone Audio and Media Audio are turned on.
- Phone Audio: Routes call sound to the watch.
- Media Audio: Lets you play music or podcasts through the watch speaker (if supported).
Set Watch as Default Audio Device (Android Only)
On Android, go to Settings > Connected Devices > Connection Preferences > Bluetooth. Tap your watch and select Use for Calls.
iOS Note: iPhones automatically route call audio to paired Bluetooth devices. Just ensure your watch is connected.
Step 5: Test Talk-Thru Functionality
Now it’s time to put your setup to the test.
Make a Test Call
Call a friend or use a free service like Google Voice. When the call connects, speak into your watch’s microphone (usually near the side button). Listen through the watch speaker.
Use Voice Commands
Say “Hey Google” or press and hold the watch’s side button to activate your voice assistant. Try asking, “What’s the weather?” or “Call Mom.”
Send a Voice Message
Open your messaging app (e.g., WhatsApp or Messages) and tap the microphone icon. Speak your message—it should transcribe and send.
Check Audio Quality
Pay attention to:
- Clarity of your voice to the caller
- Volume and clarity of the caller’s voice on the watch
- Background noise levels
If audio is muffled or delayed, see the troubleshooting section below.
Advanced Tips for Better Talk-Thru Experience
Once basic functionality is working, try these pro tips to enhance your experience.
Use a Bluetooth Headset for Privacy
If you’re in public and don’t want to broadcast your conversation, pair a Bluetooth earbud to your watch. Some MK models support dual audio—watch speaker and earbud simultaneously.
Optimize Microphone Placement
The microphone is usually on the side or bottom of the watch. Speak toward it, and avoid covering it with your sleeve.
Adjust Volume Levels
Use the watch’s volume buttons during a call to increase or decrease speaker volume. You can also adjust call volume in your phone’s settings.
Enable Auto-Answer (If Available)
Some MK watches let you set auto-answer after 3–5 seconds. Great for hands-free use, but use cautiously—you might answer accidentally!
Use Voice-to-Text for Messages
Instead of typing, use voice input to reply to texts. Say “Reply: I’ll be there in 10 minutes,” and it will send automatically.
Troubleshooting Common Talk-Thru Issues
Even with perfect setup, problems can arise. Here’s how to fix the most common ones.
Issue: No Sound During Calls
- Check Bluetooth connection: Reconnect your watch to your phone.
- Verify audio routing: Ensure “Phone Audio” is enabled in Bluetooth settings.
- Restart devices: Turn off both watch and phone, wait 30 seconds, then turn back on.
Issue: Caller Can’t Hear You
- Test microphone: Record a voice memo on your phone and play it back.
- Clean the mic: Gently wipe the microphone area with a dry cloth.
- Check app permissions: Ensure the companion app has microphone access.
Issue: Voice Assistant Not Responding
- Enable voice wake-up: In the app, turn on “Voice Wake-up” or “Always Listening.”
- Check internet connection: Voice assistants need Wi-Fi or mobile data.
- Update the app: Outdated apps may lack voice support.
Issue: Audio Delays or Echoes
- Move closer to your phone: Bluetooth range is typically 10 meters.
- Reduce interference: Avoid areas with lots of Wi-Fi or Bluetooth signals.
- Update firmware: Check for watch updates in the companion app.
Issue: Watch Disconnects Frequently
- Disable battery optimization: On Android, go to Settings > Apps > [Companion App] > Battery > Unrestricted.
- Re-pair the device: Remove the watch from Bluetooth settings and pair again.
- Reset network settings: On iPhone, go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
