I purchased both the 42 and 47 watches. I was surprised to see such a difference in the user interfaces. But we can deal with it. I love the feature of a photo watch face on the 47, missing in the 42. A couple of suggestions: 1, the color of the text has 2 blue ( cyan?) and 2 orange but no red. I need the red to contrast with my photo so it is easy to read. 2, it would be good to be able to download other watch faces to the app to be able to use load into the watch. Excellent product for the price!!! Thank you.
I have the option to choose a photo for a watch face on my watch 44. In the clock face section of the app, the option to choose a photo is at the bottom. Once you choose the time/date it takes you to the next screen where you choose your photo background and font color.
Thanks, that option wasn’t there when I set the 44 up a couple of weeks ago. Must have got updated.
Now for better text color choices…
Thank you,

You’re welcome. I didn’t have that option at first either. The firmware updated a day or so after I got my watch. I was happy to see I could use a photo, which I was expecting from the photos on the website.
Why Wyze do not have the 44mm on their website?
Are they giving up on the 44mm or is bugged as the V1 sensors?
I’m trying to return mine, not sure will be possible but I will try. The 44mm have so many issues comparing to the 47mm that I wish I was smarter when I decided to give a try on this product.
I’ve had the 47 for a couple days, and it is as expected. Is it buggy? Yep. Am I surprised? No. I worked for a certain chip company on Android Wear watches for LG, Fossil, Louis Vuitton, Mont Blanc, Google, and more. They were all buggy in v1. Many of the issues I am seeing have to do with the Wyze app not setting notification preferences properly - that’s an easy fix and entirely in Wyze’s control, not the Chinese watch manufacturer, so I have high confidence that they will be fixed. Other wishlist items include camera images, etc., again all within Wyze’s wheelhouse.
Overall, a great value for $20, and it is only going to get better.
Have you tried the Beta FW?
You can become a beta tester by going here: https://wyze.com/become-a-beta-tester
After it is setup, go to the app, tap on the Account, tap on About, Tap on Beta Program, Tap Edit at top right of screen, scrool down to the Wyze Watch 44 and select it. Then save.
you should be able to top on Firmware updates in the accouynt area and any Beta update for the watch will be available.
BTW: you can also select all if you want the Beta Firmware for all of the devices you have.
Thanks for the tip.
Do you believe they are going to keep this version or they already killed the 44mm watch?
If they kill this line of product they are going to stop giving support after the first stable firmware (like they did with the Wyze sense V1)
I think they are going to keep. Can’t see them getting rid of. But I could be wrong.
I was just wondering why there are no option to buy or be notified on the store and I could not find, anywhere, the specifications of the 44mm.
Good question. @UserCustomerGwen , Wyze Watch 44 does not exist on the store front. Is Wyze continuing with this product. Questions are being asked in forums about this. Any insight would be appreciated.
thanks
WYZE deceived it’s supporters by pushing out new products without focusing on basic QA/QC on products manufactured in China while becoming lazy with testing the firmware and features offered by their competitors at the same price point. Their $20 WYZE Watch is less functional than their Watch Band that includes Alexa capabilities. What total BS watch from WYZE!! Stop praising a $20 POS!!
!
I hope they can fix all the bugs with Watch 44. I just filed a support ticket since it is suddenly resetting itself in the evenings after three weeks of never having that issue. I’ll be happy with stable firmware since I mainly use mine for a watch, notifications, and phone calls.
dunno. I had a band for a year and it was fine but the tap to wake constantly activated alexa and I can count on my hands the number of times I actually used the alexa integration. I’m finding the 47 is meeting my needs quite well and eliminates the parts I found annoying with the band.
I personally have no issues with my Watch 47. I had a band also and did not even use the Alexa Integration. Wyze never promised that the watch would have Alexa integration, check out the details page.
Your opinion is yours and something you should be able to express. However, I am of the opposite opinion, it has delivered on everything they promised with the exception of the Gmail integration and displaying the body of the email. But not sure it actually indicated you would see the body of the email. I expect this will be changed in a future FW update.
No deception at all from my standpoint and find the 47 very functional.
Lack of Alexa integration is a huge oversight by WYZE. All of their video cameras have this feature and not having the same feature on the Wyze Watch is inexcusable especially if the older WYZE watch has it built in. How else can you use the watch to control other WYZE devices?
For what it’s worth, I use my Watch 47 to control my Wyze smart plugs, through the “Shortcuts” in the Wyze app.
You can use the Wyze Shortcuts to control other Wyze devices. Those work well. If that is a deal breaker for you, then don’t buy one. But why complain about it when it was not promised or mentioned. It does what was promised, and I for one purchased it with the understanding of what it was and did. I have a TIC Watch as well. That is now in the box as the Wyze did what I needed it to do.
Hopefully, everyone does their research before purchasing and makes an educated decision on to buy or not. But to Bash Wyze for not including something that was not promised or indicated would be there, is a bit puzzling. But as I mentioned, you have the right to voice your opinion.
As stated earlier, I have no regrets or issues with this purchase.
Mine does the same - My watch 47 vibrates once 2 hrs before the time set for the alarm and then again 30 minutes prior to the alarm. Is there a way of turning this off? I only want it to vibrate on the time the alarm is set.
Looking at my Wyze app on Account → Firmware update I can see all my devices with the exception of my Wyze Watch 44mm. One more reason to believe that Wyze is giving up with no explanation about why, I’m afraid this 44mm is the watch version of the Wyze sensor (V1) that was just build wrong and they are going to let fade away.
