I love the watch so I hope this doesn't come off critical - I just want to provide tips based on my struggle with the instructions. I hope it saves others from wasted time.

I had a bit of a frustrating hour getting it to work, because I followed too many conflicting ways of doing it due to vague and scattered instructions, and did about 13 different obsolete dead end paths that didn't work before finding what did work. It now works, so I will tell my story.

Here's a link to a watch that'll work on Amazon. It's called P22.

  1. These are the instructions you follow, ignore all the others - https://enaon.github.io/eucWatch/tools/hackme/
  2. Do not use a PC/Mac. Use android, or you're wasting your time. PC chrome won't find it in scan.
  3. Do not use the web loader yet. I know the instructions imply that it comes first, but it never connects. You have to follow the "manual" instructions.
  4. Download the 4 files listed here to your android, not PC. Don't unzip anything.
  5. Get daflasher off the android Play Store.
  6. Click "i" in the watch menus to find the mac address.
  7. In daflasher, scan, and find that mac address.
  8. If anything fails, kill daflasher and start again. It's a waste of time trying to get it to work once it fails.
  9. Always leave the two checkboxes at the top checked. They will spontaneously uncheck, so re-check them when that happens.
  10. You'll flash files 1 thru 4 in order. Often you have to kill the app in between each file to get it to work on the next. When you finish, you're done with daflasher.
  11. The watch will be blank until the end, that's normal, don't try to fix it.
  12. Go to the web loader in chrome in android.
  13. DO NOT use https://enaon.github.io/eucWatch/ it will not work. It's outdated and doesn't install the right stuff. You'll waste so much time.
  14. https://enaon.github.io/eucWatch/p8 is correct. Yes, I know you have a p22, not a p8. Just use it. There's no p22 version.
  15. Install All Apps will fail about a dozen times. Keep the watch close, refresh the tab, and try again until it works.
  16. DO NOT install apps one-by-one. That will never work. The watch will never boot. You MUST use "Install All Apps" because it does something extra. Nowhere does it say this, and I know installing 1 by 1 seems more reliable due to the frequent BT failures, but it's the only way that will start the watch.
  17. Hooray, your watch should actually start now.
  18. Hold the side button to scan, swipe until you see your brand, click its button.
  19. You're all set.
  20. Hopefully these tips saved you from getting as stuck as me.

Hi, thanks for the feedback.

some notes:

1,14- the loader works better on pc than on android, so maybe use the pc for this.
15. the "install all apps" initializes the flash chip, this is needed only once on a new watch, then you can actually install one by one if you like,.
