To connect: (1) Turn on Bluetooth on both your phone and smartwatch; (2) Pair the watch with your phone via Android's system Bluetooth settings first; (3) Open the BT Notification app and accept terms; (4) Grant all required permissions — notification access, phone, SMS, contacts, location, and storage; (5) Enable notification access for BT Notification in Android Settings > Apps > Special access > Notification access. The app will then detect and connect to your paired watch.
BT Notification supports budget Bluetooth smartwatches including DZ09, A1, GT08, PY1, Q18, V8, T8, X6, and similar generic models. These are typically sub-$20 smartwatches sold on Amazon, AliExpress, and local electronics stores. If your watch's manual or packaging mentions 'BT Notification' as the companion app, your device is supported. The app is from Shenzhen United Power Technology, which also makes OFITPRO, HryFine, and Laxasfit.
Common fixes: (1) Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your phone; (2) Pair the watch first via system Bluetooth settings, then open the app; (3) Keep devices within close range (1-2 meters); (4) Restart both phone and watch; (5) Clear the app cache — Settings > Apps > BT Notification > Storage > Clear Cache; (6) Remove the watch from other phones' Bluetooth settings; (7) Disable battery optimization for BT Notification; (8) Grant all required permissions including location (needed for Bluetooth scanning on newer Android versions).
After connecting your watch via BT Notification: (1) Ensure notification access is enabled — go to Android Settings > Apps > Special access > Notification access and enable BT Notification; (2) Grant phone and SMS permissions when prompted; (3) In the app settings, make sure call and SMS notifications are toggled on. Your watch will then display incoming calls with caller info and forward SMS messages to the watch screen.
To use remote camera: (1) Make sure your watch is connected to your phone via BT Notification; (2) Open the camera/remote photo feature in the app; (3) Position your phone where you want to take the photo; (4) Use the camera trigger button on your smartwatch to capture the shot. This is useful for group photos, selfies from a distance, and travel photography.
No, BT Notification is a communication-focused app, not a fitness tracker. It handles calls, SMS, notification forwarding, remote camera, and anti-lost alerts. For fitness and health tracking features (heart rate, steps, sleep), use a different companion app like OFITPRO, HryFine, or a dedicated fitness app that matches your watch model.
The BT Notification app supports 10 languages: Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Japanese, Korean, and Russian. The interface and all menu items are translated into these languages.
Yes, BT Notification is completely free to download and use. There are no subscription fees or in-app purchases. The app is ad-supported, meaning you may see occasional advertisements. All features — calls, SMS, notifications, remote camera, anti-lost alerts, alarm clock — are available at no cost.
BT Notification requires multiple permissions because it bridges communication between your phone and watch: Phone permission for call handling, SMS permission for message forwarding, Contacts for caller ID sync, Location for Bluetooth scanning (required on newer Android versions), Notification access for forwarding app notifications, and Storage for app data. Each permission directly enables a core feature of the app.
Works great with my DZ09 smartwatch. Call notifications come through clearly and SMS sync is reliable. The remote camera feature is a nice bonus — I use it for group photos. Only complaint is the occasional ad popup, but it's free so I can't really complain.
App does what it says — connects my A1 watch to my phone for calls and messages. The contact sync feature is useful for seeing who's calling. Bluetooth connection drops sometimes when I walk too far from the phone. Would be nice if the UI was more modern looking.
Best free app for budget smartwatches! I have a GT08 and this app handles calls, SMS, and WhatsApp notifications perfectly. The anti-lost alert saved me once when I left my phone at a restaurant. Highly recommended for anyone with a cheap Bluetooth watch.
Decent companion app for my Q18 smartwatch. SMS forwarding works well and I like being able to see notifications on my wrist. The alarm feature is handy for morning wake-ups. However, the connection can be unstable and the app uses more battery than I'd like.
I've been using BT Notification with my DZ09 for over a year now. The call function works reliably and the notification push for WhatsApp and WeChat keeps me connected. The app gets regular updates which is good. Remote camera is fun for selfies.
Simple and effective app for my budget smartwatch. The SMS sync is the feature I use most — being able to read messages on my wrist without taking out my phone is very convenient. Contact sync also works well. The find device feature is a lifesaver.
The app works for basic notification forwarding. Call quality through the watch speaker is acceptable but not great. I wish there were more settings to customize which notifications get forwarded. The anti-lost alert is useful though. Free is the right price for this.
Perfect for my V8 smartwatch! All features work as advertised — calls, messages, camera remote, even the alarm. I especially like the contact sync because now I can see the caller name on my watch. The app is free and does everything I need.
Good app but the Bluetooth connection drops every few hours and I have to reconnect manually. When it's connected, everything works fine — calls, SMS, notifications all come through. Battery status monitoring is nice to have. Hope they fix the disconnect issue.
Using BT Notification with my T8 watch and it works well for daily use. The notification push for social media apps keeps me updated without checking my phone constantly. Remote camera trigger is great for travel photos. The 10 language support is appreciated.
United Power BT Notification is a free Android companion app for budget Bluetooth smartwatches, developed by Shenzhen United Power Technology Co., Ltd. With over 1 million downloads on Google Play and a 2.9-star rating (4,859 reviews), the BT Notification app connects low-cost smartwatches like DZ09, A1, GT08, Q18, V8, T8, and X6 to your Android phone via Bluetooth — enabling voice calls, SMS, notification forwarding, remote camera control, and anti-lost alerts.
Unlike fitness-focused smartwatch apps, United Power BT Notification is specifically designed as a notification bridge between your phone and budget smartwatches. It focuses on communication features — forwarding calls, messages, and app notifications — rather than health or fitness tracking. The developer, Shenzhen United Power Technology, also publishes related companion apps such as OFITPRO, HryFine, Laxasfit, and Olywear.
The BT Notification app connects to your smartwatch via standard Bluetooth pairing (not BLE). After pairing your watch through Android's system Bluetooth settings, you open the app, grant the required permissions (notification access, phone, SMS, contacts, location), and the app becomes the bridge between your phone and watch.
Once connected, the app forwards incoming calls and SMS messages to your watch in real time. It also synchronizes your phone contacts to the watch for caller ID display and quick dialing. Third-party app notifications (WhatsApp, Facebook, etc.) are pushed to the watch screen as they arrive.
Make and receive phone calls directly through your connected smartwatch. The BT Notification app routes audio through Bluetooth so you can talk hands-free via the watch's built-in speaker and microphone. Caller information is displayed on the watch screen when paired.
Send and receive text messages through your smartwatch. The app synchronizes SMS between your phone and watch, allowing you to read incoming messages on your wrist and compose basic replies. SMS history is accessible from both devices.
Synchronize your phone's address book to the smartwatch for caller identification and quick dialing. When someone calls, their name appears on the watch display instead of just the phone number. You can also initiate calls directly from the synced contact list on your watch.
Forward notifications from apps like WhatsApp, Facebook, WeChat, LINE, and other messaging services to your smartwatch in real time. Stay informed about messages, social media updates, and app alerts without pulling out your phone.
Trigger your phone's camera shutter remotely from your smartwatch. Position your phone for group photos or selfies and use the watch as a wireless remote control to capture the shot — useful for group gatherings and travel photography.
Set up a Bluetooth-range alert that triggers when your smartwatch moves too far from your phone. The anti-lost feature helps you avoid leaving your watch (or phone) behind. A "Find Device" function lets you ring either device to locate it.
Set alarms on your smartwatch remotely through the app. The watch vibrates or sounds at the set time — useful for silent wake-up alarms that don't disturb others nearby.
Check your smartwatch's current battery level directly from the app, so you know when it needs charging without navigating the watch's own menus.
The BT Notification app targets budget smartwatches commonly sold under various brand names. Officially supported models include:
These are typically sub-$20 smartwatches available on Amazon, AliExpress, and local electronics markets. If your watch's manual or packaging mentions "BT Notification" as the companion app, your device is supported.
The BT Notification app interface is available in 10 languages: Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Japanese, Korean, and Russian — covering a global user base for these widely-distributed budget smartwatches.
