Before you start making calls, it’s important to know what kind of calling your MK Smart Watch supports. Not all smartwatches are created equal. Some can only forward calls from your phone, while others can make calls completely independently.

There are three main ways your MK Smart Watch might handle calls:

  • Bluetooth Calling: Your watch connects to your smartphone via Bluetooth and forwards incoming calls. You can answer and talk through the watch, but the actual call goes through your phone.
  • SIM Card Calling: Your watch has a built-in SIM card slot (usually nano-SIM). You insert a SIM with an active mobile plan, and the watch works like a mini phone.
  • eSIM Calling: Some newer MK models support eSIM (embedded SIM), which lets you activate a mobile plan digitally—no physical SIM needed.

To find out which method your watch uses, check the user manual or look in the settings under “Network” or “SIM.” Most entry-level MK watches use Bluetooth calling, while higher-end models support standalone calling.

Step 1: Pair Your MK Smart Watch with Your Smartphone

If your MK Smart Watch uses Bluetooth calling, the first step is pairing it with your phone. This allows your watch to receive call notifications and let you answer them.

Download the Companion App

Most MK Smart Watches work with a companion app like “MK Fit,” “Da Fit,” or “Amazfit” (depending on the model). Here’s how to get started:

  1. Go to the App Store (iOS) or Google Play Store (Android).
  2. Search for the official app for your MK watch model.
  3. Download and install the app.
  4. Open the app and create an account or log in.

Enable Bluetooth on Both Devices

Make sure Bluetooth is turned on:

  • On your phone: Go to Settings > Bluetooth and toggle it on.
  • On your watch: Swipe down from the top of the screen to open the quick settings panel. Tap the Bluetooth icon to enable it.

Pair the Devices

Now, let’s connect them:

  1. Open the companion app on your phone.
  2. Tap “Add Device” or “Scan for Watch.”
  3. The app will search for nearby devices. Select your MK Smart Watch from the list.
  4. Confirm the pairing code on both your phone and watch.
  5. Wait for the connection to complete. You’ll see a “Connected” message.

Once paired, your watch will sync with your phone. Incoming calls will now appear on your watch screen.

Step 2: Sync Your Contacts and Call History

To make calling easier, you’ll want your contacts on the watch. Most companion apps sync your phone’s contact list automatically.

Enable Contact Sync

  1. Open the companion app.
  2. Go to “Device Settings” or “Watch Settings.”
  3. Find “Sync Contacts” or “Call History” and toggle it on.
  4. Wait a few seconds for the sync to complete.

Now, when you open the phone app on your watch, you’ll see your contacts listed. You can scroll through them and tap to call.

Manual Contact Entry (Optional)

If syncing doesn’t work, you can add contacts manually:

  1. On your watch, open the “Phone” or “Contacts” app.
  2. Tap the “+” or “Add Contact” button.
  3. Enter the name and phone number.
  4. Save the contact.

This is useful for frequently called numbers like your spouse, doctor, or office.

Step 3: Insert a SIM Card (For Standalone Calling)

If your MK Smart Watch has a SIM card slot, you can make calls without your phone nearby. This is perfect for workouts, travel, or when you want to leave your phone at home.

Check SIM Compatibility

Not all SIM cards work. Your watch likely requires a nano-SIM (the smallest size). Also, make sure your carrier supports smartwatch plans. Some carriers offer special data/calling plans for wearables.

Locate the SIM Tray

The SIM tray is usually on the side of the watch. Look for a small pinhole. You’ll need a SIM ejector tool (or a paperclip) to open it.

  1. Insert the ejector tool into the pinhole and press gently.
  2. The tray will pop out.
  3. Place your nano-SIM in the tray (gold contacts facing down).
  4. Slide the tray back into the watch until it clicks.

Activate the SIM

Once inserted, turn on your watch. It should detect the SIM automatically. You may need to:

  • Enter a PIN if your SIM has one.
  • Wait for network registration (may take 1–2 minutes).
  • Check for signal bars at the top of the screen.

If no signal appears, go to Settings > Network > Mobile Network and toggle it on.

Set Up a Mobile Plan

Some carriers require you to activate a plan for the SIM. You can usually do this:

  • Online through your carrier’s website.
  • By calling customer service.
  • Using a carrier app.

Make sure the plan includes voice calling and data (if needed).

Step 4: Make a Call Using the Dialer

Now that everything is set up, it’s time to make your first call.

Open the Phone App

On your MK Smart Watch:

  1. Swipe left or right to find the app menu.
  2. Tap the “Phone” or “Call” app (it looks like a green phone icon).

Dial a Number

You have two options:

  • Use the keypad: Tap the numbers to enter a phone number. Then tap the green call button.
  • Select a contact: Tap “Contacts,” find the person, and tap their name to call.

Answer or End a Call

When a call comes in:

  • Swipe right or tap the green phone icon to answer.
  • Tap the red phone icon to decline.

During a call:

  • Tap the microphone icon to mute/unmute.
  • Use the volume buttons on the side to adjust speaker volume.
  • Tap the red icon to end the call.

Use Voice Commands (If Supported)

Some MK watches support voice dialing. Try saying:

  • “Call [Name]”
  • “Dial [Number]”

Make sure voice assistant is enabled in settings.

Step 5: Adjust Call Settings for Better Experience

To get the most out of your calling experience, tweak a few settings.

Enable Call Notifications

Make sure your watch alerts you to incoming calls:

  1. Go to Settings > Notifications.
  2. Toggle on “Phone Calls” or “Incoming Calls.”
  3. Choose vibration pattern and alert tone.

Set Default Calling Method

If your watch supports both Bluetooth and SIM calling, you can choose which to use:

  1. Go to Settings > Network > Default Call Method.
  2. Select “Bluetooth” or “Mobile Network.”

Improve Audio Quality

If calls sound muffled or quiet:

  • Clean the microphone and speaker grilles with a soft brush.
  • Speak clearly and hold the watch near your mouth.
  • Use a quiet environment to reduce background noise.
  • Update the watch firmware (see troubleshooting section).

Step 6: Use Call Features Like Call Forwarding and Mute

Your MK Smart Watch may offer extra call features.

Call Forwarding

If you want calls to go to your watch even when your phone is off:

  1. On your phone, go to Settings > Phone > Call Forwarding.
  2. Enter your watch’s number (if using SIM).
  3. Enable forwarding.

Note: This uses your carrier’s call forwarding service and may incur charges.

Mute and Speakerphone

During a call:

  • Tap the microphone icon to mute yourself.
  • Tap the speaker icon to switch to speakerphone (if available).

Call History

View recent calls:

  1. Open the Phone app.
  2. Tap “Recent” or “Call Log.”
  3. Tap any entry to redial.

Troubleshooting Common Calling Issues

Sometimes things don’t go as planned. Here’s how to fix the most common problems.

Can’t Make or Receive Calls

  • Check Bluetooth connection: Make sure your watch is still paired. Re-pair if needed.
  • Verify SIM status: If using a SIM, ensure it’s active and has signal. Try removing and reinserting it.
  • Restart both devices: Turn off your watch and phone, wait 30 seconds, then turn them back on.

Poor Audio Quality

  • Clean the speaker and mic: Use a dry toothbrush to remove dust.
  • Move to a quieter area: Background noise can interfere.
  • Update firmware: Open the companion app and check for watch updates.

Calls Drop Frequently

  • Check signal strength: Weak cellular or Bluetooth signal can cause drops.
  • Move closer to your phone: If using Bluetooth, stay within 30 feet.
  • Disable battery-saving mode: This can limit background processes.

Contacts Not Syncing

  • Re-enable sync: Turn off and on contact sync in the app.
  • Check app permissions: Make sure the app has access to your contacts.
  • Restart the app: Close and reopen the companion app.

Watch Not Recognizing SIM

  • Ensure correct SIM size: Only nano-SIMs work.
  • Try a different SIM: Test with another active SIM to rule out carrier issues.
  • Reset network settings: Go to Settings > Reset > Network Settings.

Tips for Better Call Performance

Want the best calling experience? Try these pro tips:

  • Keep your watch charged: Low battery can affect performance.
  • Use a protective case: Prevents damage to the microphone and speaker.
  • Store contacts frequently: Add important numbers so you can call quickly.
  • Update regularly: Firmware updates often improve call stability.
  • Use headphones for privacy: Some MK watches support Bluetooth headphones for private calls.
