SYNC FREQUENCY

[LT4]

I usually never have auto sync on with my Ionic watch and IPhone. Manly because of the same reason I don’t have many features like notifications or other things like msgs on; I don’t want to waste battery life.

Is there any way to be able to have the watch not checked and waste battery so often trying to sync and say just have it attempt to sync once a day?

Hi @LT4,

Yes there is a way to turn "All Day Sync" off, you can find out more information here.

Thank you for your quick response. However that’s not exactly what I mean.
I want it to auto sync but just not all day. I still want it to auto sync
but just once a day. If you turn off the all day sync option it will go
however long till you open up the app before it syncs again.

I want it to sync without opening the app but just be able to control how
often it attempts to sync.

Hi @LT4,

Thanks for the clarification.  With that in mind, there is no way to ask the device to sync the way you would like it to.  You have to open the app in order for the device to sync, regardless of whether or not you have "All Day Sync" on or off.  You can however, open the app and only turn the Bluetooth on your phone on when you want to sync the device.

So even if the allday sync is on you still have to open the app to make it
sync? Then what’s the purpose of an all day sync option?

Hi @LT4,

The most I can gather from the "All Day Sync" option is it provided better connectivity when syncing and it allows other notifications from your phone to appear on your watch. I only use it when I'm out and about for that reason.

And no, the app doesn't need to be fully open for "All Day Sync". It just needs to be running in the background on your phone with your Bluetooth on.

Ok thank you very much. I appreciate your time.
