Welcome to the CORVUS. An instrument for the extraordinary — engineered with the precision of a fine timepiece and the capability of a modern explorer’s companion.
A few essentials, presented with the same precision taken in their making.
I.
The CORVUS Smartwatch
Your instrument, pre-fitted with the strap of your selection.
II.
Magnetic Charging Cable
A bespoke magnetic charger designed to attach precisely to the charging port on the rear of your watch.
III.
NOVACCHI Presentation Box
A reusable keepsake. We invite you to retain it.
02 · Preparation
First Charge
Before its first wear, allow the CORVUS to rest on its charger until full — two to three hours.
Connecting the Charger
Align the magnetic charging cable with the charging port on the rear of the case. The connection forms automatically; the charging indicator will appear on the screen.
Power Adapter Guidance
Use a wall adapter with a rated output of 5V and current between 0.5A and 2A, or a computer USB port. Always pair the watch with the charging cable supplied in the box.
Charging Behaviour
To ensure a stable charge, the screen will turn off while charging. Press the power button to wake it. From a fully depleted battery, allow up to five minutes before the charging status appears.
Powering On
Press and hold the power button for two seconds to power on. The watch will also power on automatically when placed on its charger.
03 · Connection
Pairing with GloryfitPro
The CORVUS pairs with the GloryfitPro companion app, where you will manage every feature and review your daily metrics.

05 · Gestures
Touch Gestures
The watch is also operated through four intuitive swipes from the main dial.
During swimming, rowing, and other water activities, the touchscreen is locked by default to prevent accidental input from water droplets. Press button 1 to unlock the touchscreen; the buttons remain active throughout.
06 · Navigation
GPS & Tracking
Independent GPS allows the CORVUS to track your route, distance, and pace without your phone in reach.
First Use
Pair the watch with GloryfitPro before your first outdoor activity. Within three minutes of pairing, the app will transmit assisted GPS data to the watch — significantly shortening the time to first fix.
Daily Refresh
Each morning at 09:00, GloryfitPro refreshes the day’s satellite data. Keep your watch within Bluetooth range of your phone at least once a day to ensure the latest ephemeris is available.
For the Best Signal
Choose an open area away from tall buildings or dense forest canopy. Allow thirty to sixty seconds for the first lock; subsequent locks are typically faster.
Reviewing Your Track
At the close of each session, save your activity. Your route and metrics will synchronise to GloryfitPro for detailed review — including a map of your path, elevation, and pace splits.
07 · The Body
Health & Wellness
Heart Rate — 24 Hours
A sensor light activates on the underside of the case. Measurement takes 30 to 60 seconds and is based on PPG technology. Continuous monitoring may be enabled within the app.
Blood Oxygen — SpO2
Measures oxygen saturation in 30 to 60 seconds. Particularly useful at altitude or during recovery. Remain still for the most accurate reading.

Sleep Monitoring
Daily sleep stages, duration, and quality are displayed on the watch and presented in greater detail within the app.
Stress Tracking
Monitor stress levels throughout the day, with prompts to step away when readings climb.
Breathing Training
Select a duration and follow the on-screen guidance for a brief, focused exercise — effective before sleep or competition.

11 · Longevity
Care & Maintenance
The CORVUS is built to accompany active wear. A few practices will keep it performing for many years.
Water Resistance
The CORVUS is rated to 5 ATM — suited to swimming in pools and shallow open water. Do not wear during hot showers, saunas, or hot tubs; high-temperature vapour may compromise the seals. Do not press the buttons while submerged. Rinse with fresh water after exposure to salt water or chlorine, and dry the speaker chamber by gently shaking the watch with the sound aperture facing downward.
After Activity
Loosen or remove the watch after intense exercise and allow the skin and case-back to breathe. Wipe the case and strap clean and dry before placing the watch back on the wrist.
Strap Care
Stainless and silicone straps may be rinsed and wiped clean. Leather should be kept dry. All NOVACCHI bands fit interchangeably should you wish to alternate between formal and active wear.
A Note on Health Data
The CORVUS’s health measurements are for personal reference and are not medical-grade. If a reading concerns you, please consult a qualified professional.
Every CORVUS is accompanied by a one-year limited warranty against manufacturing defects.
What the Warranty Covers
Defects in materials and workmanship under normal use for a period of twelve months from the date of purchase. Should an issue arise, our team will repair or replace your watch at no charge.
What is Not Covered
Wear and tear from daily use, accidental damage, water damage outside the 5 ATM rating, modifications, or use of non-NOVACCHI accessories.
