How to Set Up Your Fempoin T31 Smartwatch: A Complete Guide

So, you’ve just unboxed your new smartwatch. It looks sleek, it feels light, and it’s full of promise—like the Fempoin T31, a model that packs a ton of features into a compact frame. But there’s a problem: the tiny, folded paper manual that came with it is… well, let’s just say it leaves a lot to be desired.

You’re probably asking: “How do I even set the time?” “What is this ‘Gloryfit’ app?” “Why won’t it connect to my phone?”

Deep breath. You’re in the right place.

Welcome to the user manual you should have received. Forget the frustration. I’m here to walk you through every single step, from charging it up to understanding your first sleep report. We’ll use the Fempoin T31 as our main example, but this guide will work for many modern smartwatches that use a similar app and setup.

Let’s get this done together.

Part 1: The First Steps (Power and Pairing)

Before you can track your steps, you’ve got to take these. This is the most critical part of the setup, and it’s where most people get stuck.

1. Get Charged Up

Your watch probably arrived with some power, but let’s start with a full battery. You’ll find a small magnetic charging cable in the box.

• How it works: This is a simple USB cable with two small metal pins at the end. Look at the back of your watch case. You’ll see two corresponding metal contact points.
• The “Click”: The magnet will only let you attach it the correct way. Bring the cable close, and it should snap satisfyingly into place.
• Charge It: Plug the USB end into any standard phone charger block or a USB port on your computer. The screen, like the T31’s 1.47” HD display, will light up to show it’s charging. Give it at least an hour or two for its first full charge (a full 3-hour charge can last 3-5 days).

2. Download the “Brain” (The Gloryfit App)

This is the most important rule of any modern smartwatch: The watch is a display. Your phone is the control center.

You do not set the time, date, or anything else on the watch itself. You do it all through the app, which then syncs to the watch. For the Fempoin T31, this app is called “Gloryfit.”

Go to your phone’s App Store (for iOS) or Google Play Store (for Android) and download the “Gloryfit” app. It’s free. Open it up and create an account. It will ask for details like your height, weight, and birthdate. Don’t skip this! This information is essential for the watch to accurately calculate things like your calories burned and stride length.

3. Make the Connection (Pairing Instructions)

Here’s the part that trips everyone up.

DO NOT go to your phone’s main Bluetooth settings menu to connect. It won’t work properly. You must pair the watch from inside the Gloryfit app.

1. Make sure your phone’s Bluetooth is turned on.
2. Open the Gloryfit app.
3. Go to the “Device” tab (it’s usually at the bottom of the screen).
4. Tap “Add a new device” or “Select device.”
5. Your phone will start scanning. Hold your watch close to your phone.
6. You should see “T31” (or your watch’s model) appear on the list. Tap it.
7. Your watch screen will light up with a confirmation request. Tap the checkmark on the watch.

That’s it! You’re paired.

The moment it connects, you’ll see the magic happen: the time and date on your watch will automatically set themselves to match your phone. No more frustration.

Part 2: A Quick Tour of Your New Watch

Now that it’s set up, let’s learn how to use it. Your watch’s screen is your main navigation tool. It’s not just a display; it’s a responsive surface.

This works using capacitive touch technology. Your body naturally holds a tiny electrical charge. The screen has a grid that detects this charge. When your finger touches it, it instantly knows where you touched and in which direction you’re moving.

Here are the basic gestures:

• Swipe Down: Accesses your quick settings (like brightness, “do not disturb” mode, and weather).
• Swipe Up: Shows your recent messages and notifications.
• Swipe Left/Right: Cycles through your main feature “widgets”—like the activity tracker, heart rate monitor, sleep data, and music control.
• Tap: Selects an option or opens a menu.

Personalize Your “Home Screen”

You’re not stuck with one look. Through the Gloryfit app, you can change your watch face. The T31, for example, offers over 100 free “dials.”

In the app, go to “Device” > “Watch Faces.” You can choose a face that shows just the time, or one packed with data like your steps, heart rate, and the date, all at a glance.

Part 3: Understanding Your 24/7 Health Data

Okay, you’re set up and know how to swipe. Now, what is all this data it’s collecting? This is where the “smart” part comes in.

How It Tracks Your Heart Rate & Blood Oxygen (SpO2)

Ever flip your watch over and see those flashing green and red lights? That’s not just for show—it’s the core sensor.

This technology is called Photoplethysmography (PPG). That’s a mouthful, so let’s call it the “light trick.”

• For Heart Rate: The watch shines a green light into your skin. Your blood is red, and red blood absorbs green light. Between heartbeats, there’s less blood in the capillaries in your wrist, so more green light is reflected. When your heart pumps, that area fills with blood, which absorbs more of the light. The watch’s sensor measures the speed of these changes and translates it into your heart rate (beats per minute).
• For Blood Oxygen (SpO2): This works similarly but uses red and infrared light. The “color” of your blood is slightly different depending on how much oxygen it’s carrying. By measuring the ratio of red vs. infrared light that’s reflected, the watch can estimate your blood oxygen saturation percentage.

For this to work well, the watch needs to be snug, but not tight, about one finger-width above your wrist bone.

How It Knows You’re Asleep

You don’t have to tell the watch you’re going to bed. It figures it out automatically. How?

The main tool is a tiny chip inside called an accelerometer. This sensor’s only job is to detect motion.

• When you’re lying still for a long time, the watch assumes you’ve fallen asleep.
• It continues to monitor your “micro-movements” all night. Tossing and turning? It logs that as “light sleep” or “wakeful.”
• In periods of near-total stillness, it logs that as “deep sleep.”
• It combines this motion data with your heart rate (which naturally slows during deep sleep) to create a detailed report you can see in the Gloryfit app each morning.

How It Counts Your Steps & Sports

That same accelerometer is the key to activity tracking.

It’s not a GPS (this model doesn’t have built-in GPS). Instead, it’s a motion sensor that has been “trained” by smart algorithms to recognize the specific, repetitive, jolting pattern of a human step. This is how it counts your steps and estimates the distance you’ve walked.

When you select one of the sport modes (like running, cycling, or basketball), the watch’s algorithm changes. It tells the sensors to work harder and sample your heart rate and motion more frequently to give you a more accurate (and higher) calorie-burn estimate for that specific activity.

Part 4: Living With Your Watch (The Day-to-Day)

You’re now an expert. Here are a few final things you should know.

Notifications and Calls

The Fempoin T31 (and similar models) has a speaker and mic, allowing you to see call history and get alerts. When your phone gets a text or a WhatsApp message, it sends a signal via Bluetooth to your watch, which vibrates. This is fantastic for screening alerts without pulling your phone out of your pocket. You can manage which app-notifications you receive from inside the Gloryfit app.

Water Resistance (What “IP68” Really Means)

Your watch has an IP68 waterproof rating. This is an engineering standard.

• The “6” means it’s totally sealed against dust.
• The “8” means it’s protected from continuous submersion in water (usually up to 1.5 meters for 30 minutes).

What this means for you: Yes, you can wash your hands, get caught in the rain, and even wear it during a sweaty workout without worry.

What this does not mean: * Don’t wear it in a hot shower, sauna, or hot tub. The high heat can warp the rubber waterproof seals over time. * Don’t wear it in the ocean. Saltwater is corrosive. If you do, rinse it with fresh water immediately after.

Battery Life

To get the most out of your battery, you can manage it. The T31’s 180mAh battery is rated for 3-5 days. You’ll get less if you have the screen brightness at 100% and receive hundreds of notifications. You’ll get more if you lower the brightness and are less active. A 30-day “standby” time just means if you leave it on a table, it won’t die for a month.

You’re All Set

That’s it. You’ve successfully transformed that confusing gadget from a box into a powerful personal assistant.

You now know how to set it up, how to pair it with the Gloryfit app, how to read its data, and what the technology actually does. From here, the journey is about discovery. See how your heart rate responds to stress, challenge yourself to beat yesterday’s step count, and start building a clearer picture of your health, one day at a time.
