02 · Preparation

First Charge

Before its first wear, the SOLARA Petite should rest on its charger for at least two hours.

Connecting the Charger

Align the magnetic charging cable with the two contacts on the rear of the case. The connection forms automatically, and the charging indicator will appear on the screen. Connect the opposite end to a 5V/1A USB charging head or a computer's USB port.

Power Adapter Guidance

Use a standard wall adapter rated 5V / 0.5A or 5V / 1A. Always pair the watch with the charging cable supplied in the box.

Please Avoid

Car chargers, as in-vehicle voltage may fluctuate; fast-charging or multi-port adapters used to charge a phone and the watch at once; and leaving the watch on charge unattended for extended periods.

Powering On

Press and hold the side button for three seconds to power on. The watch will also power on automatically when placed on its charger. To power off, press and hold the side button for three seconds from the time interface, then tap the confirmation icon.

03 · Connection

Pairing with Da Fit

The SOLARA Petite pairs with the Da Fit companion app, where you will manage every feature and review your daily insights.

1 · Download the App

Search "Da Fit" on the Apple App Store (iOS 13.0 or later) or the Google Play Store (Android 6.0 or later), or scan the QR code displayed on your watch. Da Fit is a third-party application, free to download, with no subscription required for the watch's core features.

2 · Register Your Account

Follow the on-screen instructions to register. Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your phone before continuing.

3 · Bind Your SOLARA Petite

Within the watch settings, open About to view the last four digits of the device's MAC address. From the in-app device list, identify and select your watch, then tap to bind.

4 · Synchronise

Once bound, the watch reconnects automatically each time the app is opened. Pull down on the app's data page to synchronise your latest readings.

04 · Gestures

Navigating the SOLARA Petite

The watch is operated by touch, and by the single Power Key at its side.

The Power Key

A short press wakes the screen, or returns you to the watch face. A long press of three seconds powers the watch on or off.

Swipe Down

The control centre — brightness, mute, theatre mode, settings, and your connection and battery status.

Swipe Up

Your recent notifications, held for review.

Swipe Left & Right

Your function menu and data cards, held for review.

Long Press the Screen

Change your watch face, from the main dial.

05 · The Body

Health & Wellness

Heart Rate

A green sensor light activates on the underside of the case. Worn snugly, one finger-width above the wrist bone, measurement takes a few seconds. Recorded trends may be reviewed within the app.

Blood Oxygen — SpO₂

The sensor measures oxygen saturation in seconds. Remain still during measurement, and wear the watch snugly to avoid light leakage, for the steadiest reading.

Sleep Monitoring

Estimated sleep duration and overnight trends, displayed on the watch and presented in greater detail within the app.

Guided Breathing

Follow the on-screen guidance for a brief, calming exercise whenever you wish to pause.

Menstrual Cycle

Log your cycle within the app and receive reminders on your wrist for the days ahead.

06 · The World

Notifications & Connectivity

Call & Message Alerts

When your phone rings, the Petite displays the incoming call and allows you to decline it from the wrist. Calls, messages and social alerts are held on the watch for review.

Message Push

Enable each notification within the app. The message page holds your five most recent records. Messages are read from your phone's notification bar, so a notification must appear there first to reach your wrist.

Camera Shutter

With the app connected and your phone's camera open, tap or shake to trigger the shutter from the watch. Photographs are saved to your phone.

Music Control

Control playback on your connected phone — play and pause, and move between tracks, all from the wrist.

Weather

Once paired, the weather page shows conditions today and tomorrow. Weather syncs when the app connects, so open it periodically to keep the information current.

07 · In Motion

Sport & Activity

One hundred and twenty-three modes, from quiet practice to spirited play.

Beginning a Session

Select your mode and begin. Duration, distance, calories and heart rate are displayed as you move. Swipe from the left of the screen to pause or end the session.

Daily Data

Throughout the day, the Petite records your total steps, distance, calories and active duration — a quiet account of your movement. Your daily figures return to zero at midnight.

Activity Records

Each session is captured in detail and synchronised to the app, where it is held as a history you may revisit.

08 · Everyday

Daily Companions

Alarms

Set alarms within the app. At the appointed time, the watch displays the alarm and vibrates gently.

Remind to Move

After an hour seated, the watch vibrates to suggest you rise and stretch. Switch it on or off in the app.

Remind to Drink

At the times you set in the app, a gentle prompt to drink some water.

Theatre Mode

Darkens the screen and holds it quiet — for the cinema, the concert, the recital.

Stopwatch & Timer

Begin timing with a tap, pausing and resuming as required; or set a countdown, and let a gentle vibration signal its completion.

Do Not Disturb

Silence notifications for a chosen period, from the pop-up menu or the app.

09 · Yours Alone

Personalising Your Watch

Changing the Face

Long press the main dial to move between the faces held on your watch. Further faces may be downloaded from the app's watch face library.

A Face of Your Own

Through the app, set any photograph from your phone as your dial, or describe a face and let the watch generate one. The clock sits over your image, and its position and date style may be set to your preference.

Changing the Band

The Petite takes a standard 14mm band. Move between the Milanese mesh, the linked bracelet, and the complimentary cream silicone band as the occasion asks — refined metal for the day, soft silicone for movement and sleep.

Adjusting the Mesh

The Milanese mesh has no fixed holes. Draw it closed to the length that sits comfortably — snug enough that the sensor meets the skin, loose enough to slide a fingertip beneath.

Screen On Time

Set in the app, to your preference.

10 · Longevity

Care & Maintenance

The Crystals

Wipe the bezel with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid perfume, hairspray, cosmetics and household cleaners, which dull the stones and may loosen their setting over time. Dress first; then put on your SOLARA Petite.

The Mesh

Rinse under cool water and dry thoroughly if it meets perspiration or salt air. Never store it damp.

The Case

Clean the rear contacts and the sensor window with a dry cloth. A clouded sensor gives a poorer reading.

Storage

Keep your watch in its presentation box, away from direct sunlight and extremes of heat or cold. Should it rest unworn for some weeks, charge it every two months to preserve the battery.

Please Avoid

Saunas and steam rooms; solvents and abrasives; and knocks against stone or metal, which the crystals will not forgive.
