Set Alarms & Reminder Alerts

What Counts as an “Alarm” vs a “Reminder”

Yoho Smartwatch Sports typically supports two categories of time-based alerts:

• Alarms (Smart Alarm): A scheduled wake-up or alert that triggers at a specific time, usually with vibration (and sometimes an on-screen icon).

• Reminders (Alerts): Helpful nudges such as sedentary/idle reminders, hydration prompts, or periodic movement alerts—depending on your model and Yoho app version.

Some settings live on the watch, while others are controlled inside the Yoho app on Android.

Before You Set Anything: Quick Requirements

To make alarms and reminders work consistently, confirm:

• The watch is paired with the Yoho app on Android.

• Bluetooth connection is stable.

• The Yoho app is allowed to run in the background (Android can restrict it).

• Vibration is enabled (if your watch has a vibration toggle).

If reminders don’t trigger, it’s often not the watch—it’s Android preventing the app from staying active in the background.

Part A — Setting Alarms (Smart Alarm)

Where to Set Alarms

Most Yoho Smartwatch Sports setups allow alarms to be managed through:

• Yoho app (Android) → Device settings / Alarm settings
  In some models, basic alarms can also be adjusted from the watch menu, but app control is the most common and easiest.

Typical Alarm Limits

Many Yoho-style devices support multiple alarms (commonly up to three), with vibration-based alerts.

How to Create an Alarm (Yoho App on Android)

1. Open the Yoho app.

2. Go to Device (or My Device / Settings).

3. Tap Alarm or Smart Alarm.

4. Tap Add (or select an empty alarm slot).

5. Set:

   • Time

   • Repeat days (Weekdays, Weekends, or custom days)

   • Alarm name/label (if available)

6. Save the alarm.

7. Sync the watch if the app requests it (or manually refresh/sync once).

Recommended Alarm Setup

• Weekday alarm: repeat Mon–Fri

• Weekend alarm: repeat Sat–Sun

• Backup alarm: set 5–10 minutes later (optional)

Part B — Configuring Reminder Alerts (Sedentary, Activity, and More)

1) Sedentary (Idle) Reminder

Sedentary reminders vibrate and/or show an icon when you’ve been inactive for a set period.

How It Works

• You set an interval (example: remind if you sit too long).

• The watch checks for prolonged inactivity and triggers a reminder.

How to Enable Sedentary Reminder (Yoho App)

1. Open Yoho app.

2. Go to Profile / Health Settings (or Device Settings, depending on app layout).

3. Find Sedentary Reminder.

4. Turn it ON.

5. Set:

   • Start time / End time (your active hours)

   • Reminder interval (how long you can sit before it alerts)

   • Optional: “Do not disturb” window if available

6. Save and sync.

Best practice: Set sedentary reminders only during your working hours so it doesn’t buzz at night.

2) Hydration / Periodic Reminders (If Your App Supports Them)

Some Yoho app builds include reminder tools such as:

• Drink water reminder

• Move reminder

• General periodic alerts

If you see them:

1. Open Yoho app → Device/Settings.

2. Enable the reminder.

3. Choose a frequency (every 60–120 minutes is a practical starting point).

4. Set an active time window (example: 09:00–21:00).

5. Sync.

Tip: Avoid too frequent reminders. If the watch vibrates constantly, many people disable it entirely.

3) Vibration On/Off and Intensity (If Available)

Many Yoho-type devices have a vibration toggle in the app:

• Vibration ON: Alerts come with vibration (better for alarms).

• Vibration OFF: Alerts may appear on the screen only (less disruptive, but easier to miss).

If your app allows:

• Use strong/normal vibration for alarms.

• Use normal/low vibration for reminders.

Part C — Make Alerts Reliable on Android

1) Allow Background Activity for the Yoho App

If Android restricts background activity, reminders and certain alerts may fail or arrive late.

General Android path (varies by phone brand):

• Settings → Apps → Yoho app → Battery

  • Set to Unrestricted (or disable optimization)

  • Enable Allow background activity

2) Keep Bluetooth Stable

• Avoid frequent toggling Bluetooth on/off.

• Keep the watch within range during the day.

• If the watch disconnects often, reminders may not trigger reliably.

3) Don’t Block Permissions

Make sure the Yoho app has permissions such as:

• Nearby devices / Bluetooth

• Notifications (recommended)

• Location (sometimes required for stable Bluetooth scanning on certain Android versions)

Part D — Troubleshooting Alarms & Reminders

Alarm Didn’t Vibrate

Try this checklist:

• Is vibration enabled on the watch/app?

• Did you set the correct AM/PM (or 24-hour format)?

• Is the watch in a Do Not Disturb mode that blocks alerts?

• Did you sync after creating the alarm?

Quick fix:

1. Open Yoho app → toggle the alarm OFF, then ON.

2. Sync the watch.

3. Restart the watch if possible.

Sedentary Reminder Never Triggers

Common reasons:

• Your reminder window is outside your current time (wrong start/end times).

• You’re moving slightly (small movements can reset inactivity detection).

• Android is restricting the Yoho app in the background.

Quick fix sequence:

1. Enable background activity / remove battery optimization for Yoho app.

2. Set sedentary interval to a shorter value temporarily (for testing).

3. Sit still longer than the interval.

4. Sync and retest.

Reminders Trigger Too Often (Annoying)

Adjust instead of disabling everything:

• Increase interval (example: from 30 minutes to 60–90 minutes).

• Limit reminder hours (example: 10:00–18:00).

• Reduce vibration strength (if available).

Recommended Setup (Balanced and Practical)

A setup that works well for most users:

• Alarms: 1–2 repeating alarms + 1 backup alarm (optional)

• Sedentary reminder: ON, interval 60–90 minutes, active window work hours only

• Vibration: ON for alarms, moderate for reminders

• Android battery setting: Yoho app allowed to run in background (not optimized)
