📍 How Does the GPS Function of the GARD PRO Work?

GARD PRO smartwatches are designed to help you track your activities accurately — including the routes you walk, run, or cycle. While our watches don’t contain built-in GPS, they make smart use of your smartphone’s GPS system. Here’s everything you need to know:

📡 No Built-In GPS – Why?

GARD PRO smartwatches do not contain a built-in GPS chip. Instead, they connect to the GPS of your smartphone via Bluetooth.
This design choice offers two major benefits:

• Extended battery life of your smartwatch

• Lower product cost without compromising location accuracy

By leveraging your phone's GPS signal, your smartwatch can still provide reliable distance and location tracking.

🔧 How to Use the GPS Feature

To enable GPS tracking on your GARD PRO smartwatch:

1. Ensure your smartwatch is paired with your phone via Bluetooth

2. Open the GloryFit or GloryFitPro app

3. Navigate to the ‘Sport’ section in the app

4. Choose your activity (e.g. walking, running, cycling)

5. Tap ‘GO’ to start your workout — GPS tracking will activate automatically

💡 The app will use your phone’s GPS to log your route, distance, and speed while you train.

🗺️ How to View Your Route Data

GPS route data is only available when the activity is started from within the app’s sport mode.
To see your route after a workout:

1. Open the GloryFit app

2. Tap on ‘Sport’

3. Select the relevant activity from your recent sessions

4. Tap the map preview to view the full route you took

📌 Note: If you start the workout directly from your watch instead of the app, GPS route data will not be recorded or shown.

🛠️ Quick Tips for Best Accuracy

• Set location permissions for the app to “Always allow” in your phone’s settings

• Make sure Bluetooth remains active throughout your workout

• Keep your phone nearby during your activity

✅ Summary

With the GARD PRO and your smartphone working together, you’ll get accurate GPS-based tracking — without sacrificing battery life or performance.
