FAQ
Q1 Inaccurate Location / GPS Drift
The current positioning system of the Magi Watch may be affected by several factors, including local network density, signal strength, and the number of visible GPS satellites.
As a result, you may occasionally notice location inaccuracies or GPS drifting, especially indoors, in areas with tall buildings, or while the watch is in motion.
After reviewing the issue you reported, we've further analyzed the system's detection and filtering logic.
We did identify that some devices are more likely to experience unstable positioning when connecting to mobile hotspots or when affected by interference from nearby signals.
We've already begun making improvements, and a system update is scheduled to be completed by the morning of July 14 (Monday).
This update should significantly improve location accuracy.
Thank you for your understanding and patience.
We sincerely appreciate your help in making our product better.
If you have any further questions or feedback, please don't hesitate to contact us.
Q2. Battery Drains Too Quickly
After analysis, we've found that most power consumption issues are related to the following factors: Set Up the Watch in a Stable Wi-Fi Environment We recommend completing basic setup tasks — such as adding family contacts, setting up safe zones, and alarms — while connected to a stable Wi-Fi network at home, with the device nearby.
This helps avoid additional battery usage that may occur if these settings are applied while the watch is outdoors or on an unstable network.
Adjust Location Update Frequency Based on Actual Needs By default, the watch updates its location once every hour.
Frequent manual location refreshes within a short period can cause the system to repeatedly activate GPS, which drains the battery quickly.
We recommend adjusting the "Care Time" location update interval in the app to better suit your needs (options include 1 hour, 30 mins, 10 mins, 5 mins, or 1 min).
Choosing a more frequent automatic update is often more battery-efficient than repeated manual refreshes.
Ensure Good Signal to Avoid Constant Network Searching If the watch is in an area with weak, unstable, or no signal, it will constantly search for a network, which increases power consumption.
Connecting to a stable Wi-Fi network in low-signal areas can help reduce background scanning and extend battery life.
We are continuously working to optimize power management and improve overall performance.

Q3. Location Not Updating in Real-Time (e.g., child has already left but location still shows as home)
By default, the Magi Watch updates its location once every hour.
If no manual location update is triggered during this interval, the app may display an outdated location, such as still showing "home" even though your child has already left.
If you'd like to receive more frequent updates, we recommend the following three options: 1.
Adjust the automatic update frequency In the "Care Time" settings within the MagiMagi app, you can change the location update frequency to every 30 minutes, 10 minutes, 5 minutes, or 1 minute for more timely updates.
2.
Enable "Smart Tracking" mode Magi Watch includes a smart tracking system that can be enabled under the "Care Time" settings.
In this mode, the watch will automatically trigger a location update when it detects that the child has moved into a different area (based on changes in cell tower signals, with an estimated movement of over 300 meters).
This feature is especially helpful during activities like commuting to school.
When the watch remains in the same area for a long time, location updates will pause to save battery, offering a balance between accuracy and power efficiency.
3.
Use manual location refresh You can always tap "Manual Location" in the app to get the current position instantly.
However, please note that frequent manual refreshing may increase battery drain, so we recommend using it alongside a reasonable automatic update interval.
If you've already set a shorter update interval but still experience significant delays, it may be due to local signal quality or GPS interference in the environment (e.
g.
, indoors or in densely built-up areas).
We are continuously working to optimize our location algorithms to improve both accuracy and stability.
