I have a 44 and a 47c that I swap back and forth. It doesn’t matter which one I am wearing, but each one restarts multiple times per day. There are times when the time is out of sync, and I am unable to resync from the app. I am forced to restart the watch. The strangest thing is that sometimes the watch face is color inverted and frozen. It takes a few button presses to get the watch to wake back up. I have not seen a firmware updates since I have had the watches, which is surprising. No fixes or new features.
I have the original Watch 47 and on a few occasions have observed it to do what seems to be described in the first post here:
This happened with my first Watch 47 and also the replacement that Wyze sent soon after that first happened.
I would say that I’m also surprised, but at this point I’m really not, because Wyze has shifted its product focus to cameras for the past couple of years. Despite that, I added several Watch-related topics to this month’s fix-it-friday topic:
I don’t know if any of those issues resonate with you or if your 
vote would make any difference in getting Wyze to address and possibly remediate them—I actually would be surprised if Wyze decided to address any of those issues—but I figure it doesn’t hurt me to bring them to Wyze’s attention. 
Weird: My Watch 47 just rebooted itself on my wrist while I was in the shower. With movement and water droplets falling on the watch face, I have noticed it do other things while I’m showering, like change the watch face (I have 3 loaded), show the Data screen, or start an app (like Indoor Run or Heart Rate), but I don’t recall seeing it reboot itself in the same manner. For that to happen, it would have to simulate swiping left, then swiping up, then tapping the 
, then swiping up, then tapping the System Control menu, then tapping Restart, then tapping the right button to confirm. While that’s not absolutely impossible, I’m more inclined to believe that this reboot was the result of (a) bug(s). 
When I was in the practice of rebooting my watch intentionally every morning, this was not a frequent occurrence at all. (I’m not saying that it’s frequent now; I’m just saying that I have noticed it happening more than it used to because I’m not giving my Watch the fresh restart every day.)

My WYZE Watch 47 started rebooting itself on the 8th. What was odd was that I had run it down to zero power and put it to charge. Unfortunately, for whatever reason, it did not recharge where I normally have it. I set it in another place and it recharged to 100% and at that point is where the reboots have started. The watch is currently at 82% power and just rebooted as I type. Very odd…

So much Watch weirdness! I don’t have high hopes that Wyze will address any of these issues or remediate what I tried to highlight for fix-it-friday, but I wear my Watch 47 almost all the time (except when it’s charging), get a lot more use out of this little gadget than I initially expected to, and would like to see this underappreciated device get some more love from Wyze!

Amen to that !
I too, am impressed with my many uses for it, too!
I wish they had “Phone answer” & Dick Tracy talk through watch features.
Well, I have not had a buzzing incident, in awhile !
Oh well !
I thought the watch was water resistant, not water proof ?
I have a leather strap, so I remove, the watch for showers n on high humidity days.
According to the Support article, it’s waterproof:
Just about the only time I’m not wearing my Wyze Watch 47 is when I’m charging it, so sometimes I do shower without it, but otherwise I wear it every day in the shower. I’ve also worn it while swimming, but when I’ve been swimming in a pool I’ll be sure to wear it in a shower afterward to rinse off the chemically-treated pool water, and sometimes I’ll slip it off my wrist and wash it with soap and water while I’m showering.
That makes sense. I wear the original Watch 47 and have the plain black silicone band, so I don’t have that concern.
I get that, but those aren’t features I’d expect at all for a device at the Wyze Watch price. Even though it doesn’t have a lot of advanced features, I think it’s pretty impressive for what it is and does, and while I don’t use them now as frequently as I used to, I really like that I can launch shortcuts from the Watch without even touching my phone. That integration into other parts of the Wyze ecosystem makes me think that the Watch really deserves ongoing updates. It’s not like a Scale or the Handheld Vacuum, which don’t really interact with other Wyze products: Using the phone as an intermediary, the Watch can actually control other Wyze devices.
Even though the Watch doesn’t have a speaker or microphone, since it has the ability to cancel phone calls and trigger shortcuts, that’s evidence that there’s direct 2-way communication between a user’s phone and watch, so it seems like a Watch could be configured to reject a phone call with a chosen canned message and/or send canned responses to text messages, though I imagine that’d involve some significant coding and permissions within the Wyze app itself in addition to a firmware update for the Watch, so I’m not holding out hope for anything like that at all.

Waterproof !
Well, what do ya know. (Even v1 's ?)
Great info.
Gotta try the shortcuts one day .
Wow, way too much tech, for me, these days.
Way b4 the Wyze watch(es).
My late brother, got me involved with “Low Sim” Asian smart watches.
It would ring, dial and take calls.
This was back, before the slim & small cell phones with their protective cases, we have now.
It was easier to use the watch, then riggle the phone out, of ur pocket.
I know, I know, all about the clips & phone holders. I hated them. The good ones wore out from traveling (+300k sky miles), and the cheaper ones, would break or eject your phone somewhere (even lost one).
That’s why I am very partial to that feature.
Sadly, a 3rd world, low power sim, in the US ?
Those were few n far between, back then.
But the bluetooth feat. did work and allowed u to pick up, chat and hang up.
Regardless of my trip down memory lane.
Again, Thx for the info. !
As far as I’m aware, all the Wyze Watches (44, 47, and 47c) are “v1”. I guess someone could make an argument that the 47c is kinda sorta a “v2” of the 47, but Wyze Support says it’s essentially the same watch:
So, yeah, to my knowledge they’re all rated as “IP68 Waterproof”.
