It’s built into the watch firmware and is available on the watches I mentioned.

It is not possible to just have an app on it’s own - it’s a whole new Bluetooth stack built into the firmware.

But rest assured - more will come.

It will also be possible to update older series watches with new firmware - in the near future.

For real? This is quite a revolutionary milestone for us all smartwatch users that have been desperately waiting for this function.

Is this included in the original factory firmware? Or is it a custom firmware? I am a Lemfo LES1 user and I wonder If I will be able to do this anytime soon.

Hi, I’m new here. I have purchased a DM368 Plus smartwatch and i would like to use it with bluetooth tethering with my Phone instead of using Sim card.
Is there a software app or another way of configuring my watch?

Thanks
Scott

The watch becomes a BT mic and speaker, so you talk to your watch and the sound is from the watch speaker.

Its similar to the tethering watches, like the KW18. All the calls received by your phone will ring on your watch and depending on how the firmware is set up, may include contact information of the caller, if they are in your address book. You have the option of either answering the call on your watch or using your phone to answer the call. You should also be able to initiate calls on your watch using your phone for the connection. Generally you will select either BT or Local (Sim card), if you have one installed, to make the call. This is how it works on the tethering watches like the KW18 I mentioned. 

For those not familiar with tethering watches and need to kill some time before the new firmware is available I suggest you watch this video by Mr. Ticks. You will need to start it back at the beginning.
