North Edge AK watch - User's Manual in English [PDF]

I did not found the instruction manual online, so I digged up the box with the original paper manual and scanned it in a PDF format.

So, if you are looking for an English user's manual for the North Edge AK watch - you can download it from here: 8 pages PDF, 3 pages PDF. Be aware that it's written in Chinese version of English. If you don't like this type of English you can see my instructions how to setup the watch manually (without Bluetooth).

This is how I test if it's waterproof:

It's too cold for swimming, so I am testing it with only a 5 centimeters of water.

I did not noticed any leaks after the test.

The product ID on AliExpress is 4000558133197. The price is about $20 (I bought it for $19.62).

On the description they say it's waterproof "100M/10BAR" and they are using a stock photo of a diver.

100M is not really for diving, it's for swimming on the surface. I don't know if the watch really can withstand swimming in the sea, did not tested it yet.

I did not tested the Bluetooth features yet. The manual is in English and Chinese. The English is readable. I successfully updated the date and time.

I have not yet tested what the time deviation will be. But if you have a smartphone you can update the time via Bluetooth, so the time deviation would not be issue.

Later I may update this text with new experiences.

Update: The clock is fast by about 4 seconds per month. (Most of the time the temperature was about 20-25 *C.)

Here are PNG scans of the North Edge AK user manual, search engines love it when web pages contain images with keywords:

Pages 1, 2 and 3 from the North Edge AK user manual

Pages 3, 4 and 5 from the North Edge AK user manual

Pages 6, 7 and 8 from the North Edge AK user manual


The Android link from the manual is:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.forler.j_style&rdid=com.forler.j_style

This app can not be installed on Android x86 (installed in VirtualBox).

After turning off the watch (by pressing S1 and S3 simultaneously) and turning it on (with the same key combination) the time is lost and it's needed to set it up again.
