Notifications
Over 200 different iOS, Android, and Windows phones can send call, text, calendar, and other types of
notifications to your watch. Keep in mind the phone and watch must be within 30 feet of each other to
receive notifications. If you’re not sure whether your phone is compatible with this feature, go to

Calendar requirements
For calendar events, FB504 & FB505 shows the title, location, and time of the event in addition to any
details you’ve entered. To receive calendar alerts on your watch, make sure you allow the calendar app on
your phone to send notifications.
