Whether you’re tracking your steps, monitoring your heart rate, or just want to stay connected without pulling out your phone, the Q50 is a great companion. But before you can enjoy all those cool features, you need to link your Q50 smart watch to your smartphone.
Don’t worry—it’s easier than it sounds. In this guide, we’ll walk you through every step, from charging your watch to syncing data and troubleshooting common problems. By the end, you’ll have your Q50 fully connected and ready to go.
Let’s dive in!
What You’ll Need Before You Start
Before we begin the pairing process, make sure you have the following:
- Your Q50 smart watch (fully charged)
- A smartphone (Android 5.0+ or iOS 9.0+)
- Bluetooth enabled on your phone
- Location services turned on (required for Android devices)
- A stable internet connection (Wi-Fi or mobile data)
- The correct companion app installed (we’ll cover this next)
Having these ready will save you time and frustration. Let’s start with the most important step: downloading the right app.
Step 1: Download the Official Q50 Companion App
The Q50 smart watch doesn’t work alone—it needs a smartphone app to sync data, customize settings, and receive notifications. The most commonly used app for the Q50 is “Da Fit” (also known as “VeryFit” or “FitPro” depending on your region). Some versions may use “H Band” or “Amazfit,” but Da Fit is the most reliable.
How to Find the Right App
Open your phone’s app store:

- On Android, go to the Google Play Store.
- On iPhone, open the App Store.
In the search bar, type “Da Fit” or “VeryFit”. Look for the app published by “Max Health” or “VeryFitPro.” It should have a blue or green icon with a heart or fitness symbol.
Download and install the app. Make sure it’s the official version—avoid third-party clones that may not work properly.
Why the Right App Matters
Using the correct app ensures:
- Full compatibility with your Q50
- Access to all features (heart rate, sleep tracking, notifications)
- Regular updates and bug fixes
- Secure data syncing
Once installed, open the app and create an account if prompted. You’ll need to provide basic info like your age, weight, and height for accurate health tracking.
Step 2: Charge Your Q50 Smart Watch
Before pairing, make sure your Q50 has enough battery. A low or dead battery can prevent the watch from turning on or connecting to your phone.
How to Charge the Q50
The Q50 typically charges via a magnetic charging cable. Here’s how:
- Plug the USB end of the charger into a power source (wall adapter or computer).
- Attach the magnetic end to the back of the watch—it should snap into place.
- Wait until the screen shows a charging icon (usually a battery with a lightning bolt).
- Charge for at least 30–60 minutes before first use.
Tip: Don’t skip this step! Even if the watch turns on, a low battery can cause pairing issues.
Step 3: Turn On Your Q50 Smart Watch
Now that your watch is charged, it’s time to power it on.
How to Power On the Watch
- Press and hold the side button (or the crown) for 3–5 seconds.
- The screen should light up with the Q50 logo or a welcome message.
- If nothing happens, try charging it a bit longer.
Once powered on, the watch will display the time and may show a Bluetooth icon. This means it’s ready to pair.
Navigate the Watch Interface
Swipe left, right, up, or down to explore the menus. You’ll see options like:
- Heart rate
- Steps
- Sleep
- Settings
For now, don’t worry about customizing—just make sure the watch is on and responsive.
Step 4: Enable Bluetooth and Location on Your Phone
Bluetooth is essential for linking your Q50 smart watch. But on Android devices, location services are also required—even if you’re not using GPS.
How to Enable Bluetooth
- Go to Settings > Bluetooth (or swipe down from the top of your screen and tap the Bluetooth icon).
- Toggle Bluetooth ON.
- Make sure your phone is discoverable (it usually is by default when Bluetooth is on).
How to Enable Location (Android Only)
On Android, the app needs location permission to scan for nearby devices. Here’s how to enable it:
- Go to Settings > Location.
- Turn on Location.
- Go back to the app and allow location access when prompted.
Note: iPhones don’t require location for Bluetooth pairing, but you may still be asked for permission—just allow it.
Step 5: Open the App and Start Pairing
Now it’s time to link your Q50 smart watch using the app.
Launch the Da Fit App
- Open the app you downloaded earlier.
- Log in or create an account if you haven’t already.
- Grant all necessary permissions (notifications, location, Bluetooth, etc.).
Begin the Pairing Process
Once logged in, the app will usually prompt you to add a new device. If not:
- Tap the “+” or “Add Device” button (usually in the top right).
- Select “Smart Watch” or “Wristband” from the list.
- The app will start scanning for nearby devices.
Make sure your Q50 is within 3 feet of your phone and not in sleep mode.
Select Your Q50 from the List
After a few seconds, you should see “Q50” or “VeryFit” appear in the list of available devices.
- Tap on it to begin pairing.
- You may see a confirmation code on both the watch and phone—make sure they match and tap “Confirm”.
If the code doesn’t appear, try moving closer or restarting the app.
Step 6: Complete the Setup in the App
Once paired, the app will guide you through the final setup steps.
Sync Your Profile
The app may ask you to confirm your personal details (age, weight, height, gender). This helps with accurate health tracking.
Enable Notifications
To get calls, texts, and app alerts on your watch:
- Go to Device Settings > Notifications.
- Toggle on the apps you want to receive alerts from (e.g., WhatsApp, SMS, Instagram).
- On Android, you may need to grant notification access in your phone’s settings.
Customize Watch Faces and Features
Now’s the fun part! You can:
- Change the watch face (digital, analog, colorful themes)
- Set up workout modes (running, cycling, swimming)
- Adjust screen brightness and timeout
- Enable do-not-disturb mode
Explore the app’s menu to personalize your Q50 to your lifestyle.
Step 7: Test the Connection
After setup, test to make sure everything is working.
Check Basic Functions
- Open the heart rate monitor—does it measure?
- Take a few steps—do they appear in the app?
- Send a test notification—does it appear on the watch?
If all features work, congratulations—you’ve successfully linked your Q50 smart watch!
