What You’ll Need Before Starting
Before we begin the actual connection process, it’s important to make sure you have everything ready. A little prep goes a long way in avoiding hiccups later.
1. A Fully Charged T800 Ultra Smart Watch
Start by charging your T800 Ultra. Plug it into the included magnetic charging cable and connect it to a USB power source. A full charge ensures the watch has enough power to complete the pairing process without shutting down mid-way. We recommend charging it to at least 50% before starting.

2. An iPhone with iOS 10 or Later
Your iPhone should be running iOS 10 or a newer version. Most modern iPhones (iPhone 6s and later) support this, but it’s worth checking. Go to Settings > General > About to see your iOS version. If it’s outdated, update it via Settings > General > Software Update.
3. Stable Wi-Fi or Cellular Connection
You’ll need internet access to download the companion app and sync data. Wi-Fi is preferred for faster downloads, but cellular data works too.
4. Bluetooth Enabled on Your iPhone
Bluetooth is the bridge between your iPhone and T800 Ultra. Make sure it’s turned on by going to Settings > Bluetooth and toggling it on. You should see “Bluetooth” with a blue icon at the top of your screen.
5. Location Services Enabled
This might surprise you, but many smartwatch apps require location access to scan for nearby devices. Go to Settings > Privacy & Security > Location Services and make sure it’s turned on. Then, allow the app (once installed) to access your location “While Using the App.”
6. The Correct Companion App
The T800 Ultra doesn’t work with Apple’s Health app directly. Instead, it relies on a third-party app like Da Fit or VeryFit. We’ll cover how to download and set this up in the next section.
Step 1: Download the Companion App
The first step in connecting your T800 Ultra to your iPhone is downloading the right app. This app acts as the control center for your smartwatch—letting you sync data, customize settings, and receive notifications.
Open the App Store
Tap the blue App Store icon on your iPhone’s home screen. If you can’t find it, swipe down from the middle of the screen and type “App Store” in the search bar.
Search for the App
In the search bar at the bottom, type “Da Fit” or “VeryFit.” Both apps are commonly used with the T800 Ultra and are developed by the same company. Either one will work, but we recommend Da Fit as it’s more frequently updated and has better user reviews.
Download and Install
Tap the “Get” button next to the app, then confirm with Face ID, Touch ID, or your Apple ID password. Wait for the download to complete. Once installed, you’ll see the app icon on your home screen—usually a green or blue circle with a white heart or fitness symbol.
Open the App
Tap the app icon to launch it. The first time you open it, you’ll see a welcome screen with options to sign up or log in. You can skip creating an account for now—just tap “Skip” or “Continue as Guest” to proceed to the main setup.
Grant Permissions
The app will ask for several permissions:
- Bluetooth: Allow it—this is required to connect to your watch.
- Location: Allow “While Using the App”—this helps the app scan for nearby devices.
- Notifications: Enable this so you can receive alerts on your watch.
- Health Data (optional): You can allow access to sync fitness data with Apple Health later.
Tap “Allow” or “OK” for each prompt. Don’t worry—you can change these settings anytime in your iPhone’s Settings app.
Step 2: Power On and Prepare Your T800 Ultra
Now that the app is ready, it’s time to wake up your smartwatch and get it into pairing mode.
Turn On the Watch
Press and hold the side button (usually on the right) for 3–5 seconds until the screen lights up. You should see the T800 Ultra logo appear. If the screen is blank, the battery may be too low—charge it for 10–15 minutes and try again.
Navigate to Bluetooth Settings
Swipe up or down on the watch screen to find the “Settings” icon (looks like a gear). Tap it, then scroll to find “Bluetooth” or “Connection.” Tap to open.
Enable Bluetooth
Make sure Bluetooth is turned on. You should see a toggle switch—tap it to enable. The watch will now start searching for nearby devices.
Put the Watch in Pairing Mode
Some T800 Ultra models automatically enter pairing mode when Bluetooth is on. If not, look for an option like “Search for Devices” or “Pair New Device.” Tap it. The watch screen may show “Searching…” or “Ready to Pair.”
Keep the Watch Close
Hold the watch within 3–5 feet of your iPhone. Bluetooth has a limited range, and being too far apart can prevent detection.
Step 3: Pair the Watch with Your iPhone
This is the core step—where your iPhone and T800 Ultra finally connect.
Return to the App
Go back to the Da Fit or VeryFit app on your iPhone. You should be on the main screen, which may show “No Device Connected” or a “+” button to add a device.
Tap “Add Device” or “+”
Look for a button labeled “Add Device,” “Connect,” or a “+” symbol. Tap it. The app will start scanning for nearby Bluetooth devices.
Wait for the Watch to Appear
Within 10–30 seconds, you should see “T800 Ultra” or a similar name appear in the list of available devices. If you don’t see it:
- Make sure the watch is still in pairing mode.
- Restart Bluetooth on both devices.
- Move closer to the watch.
Tap the device name when it appears.
Confirm Pairing on Both Devices
A pop-up may appear on your iPhone asking, “Do you want to pair with T800 Ultra?” Tap “Pair.” At the same time, your watch screen may show a 6-digit code or ask you to confirm the connection. Tap “OK” or “Confirm” on the watch.
Wait for Sync to Complete
The app will now sync with the watch. This may take 30 seconds to 2 minutes. You’ll see a progress bar or message like “Connecting…” or “Syncing Data.” Don’t close the app or turn off the watch during this time.
Success!
Once connected, you’ll see a confirmation message like “Device Connected” or a green checkmark. The app may also prompt you to set up your profile—enter your age, weight, height, and activity goals. This helps the watch provide accurate health data.
Step 4: Customize Your T800 Ultra Settings
Now that your watch is connected, it’s time to personalize it to suit your lifestyle.
Set Up Notifications
In the app, go to “Device” or “My Watch” and tap “Notifications.” Toggle on the apps you want to receive alerts from—like Messages, WhatsApp, Instagram, or Mail. You can also choose whether to show content or just the sender’s name.
Adjust Display Settings
Go to “Display” or “Screen” in the app. You can change:
- Brightness: Set it to auto or manual.
- Screen Timeout: Choose how long the screen stays on after a tap.
- Watch Face: Browse and download new designs. Some are free, others require in-app purchases.
Tap “Apply” to save changes.
Enable Health Tracking
Under “Health” or “Fitness,” turn on features like:
- Heart Rate Monitoring: Set to continuous or periodic.
- Sleep Tracking: Enable to monitor sleep stages.
- Step Counter: Automatically tracks daily activity.
- Blood Oxygen (SpO2): Available on some models.
These features will sync data to the app and, if enabled, to Apple Health.
Set Up Do Not Disturb
To avoid disturbances at night, go to “Do Not Disturb” and set a schedule—like 10 PM to 7 AM. You can also allow calls from favorites.
Test the Connection
Send a text message or make a call to see if the notification appears on your watch. Open the app and check if step count or heart rate data is updating. This confirms everything is working.
Troubleshooting Common Connection Issues
Even with careful setup, things can go wrong. Here’s how to fix the most common problems.
Watch Not Showing Up in App
If the T800 Ultra doesn’t appear in the device list:
- Restart both the watch and iPhone.
- Turn Bluetooth off and on again on both devices.
- Make sure the watch is in pairing mode.
- Delete the app and reinstall it.
- Reset network settings on iPhone: Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone > Reset > Reset Network Settings (note: this will remove saved Wi-Fi passwords).
Connection Drops Frequently
If the watch disconnects often:
- Keep the watch and iPhone within 10 feet.
- Avoid areas with strong Wi-Fi or Bluetooth interference (like crowded offices).
- Update the app and watch firmware.
- Disable battery-saving modes on the iPhone that may restrict background app activity.
Notifications Not Syncing
If you’re not getting alerts:
- Check that notifications are enabled in the app and on the watch.
- Go to iPhone Settings > Notifications and ensure the app has permission.
- Make sure “Do Not Disturb” isn’t active on either device.
- Re-pair the watch if the issue persists.
App Crashes or Freezes
If the Da Fit or VeryFit app keeps crashing:
- Close and reopen the app.
- Update the app from the App Store.
- Restart your iPhone.
- Clear the app’s cache (go to iPhone Storage, find the app, and tap “Offload App,” then reinstall).
Firmware Update Fails
If the app prompts for a firmware update but it fails:
- Ensure both devices are fully charged.
- Use a stable Wi-Fi connection.
- Try the update again later—server issues can cause temporary failures.
- Contact customer support if the problem continues.
Tips for a Smooth Experience
To get the most out of your T800 Ultra and iPhone combo, keep these tips in mind:
- Keep the app running in the background: iOS may close apps to save battery, but this can disrupt syncing. Add the app to your “Never Close” list if possible.
- Update regularly: Check for app and firmware updates monthly to ensure compatibility and security.
- Clean the watch sensors: Wipe the back of the watch with a soft, dry cloth to keep heart rate and SpO2 readings accurate.
- Use a strong passcode on your iPhone: This protects your health data if your phone is lost or stolen.
- Sync manually if needed: Open the app and tap “Sync” if data seems outdated.
