I bought a fake Apple Watch but the Bluetooth is cooked, my phone is refusing to even try to connect

The model of the watch is called “HK8 Pro Max”

Uhm….what did you expect?

[tranquil wren]

^ yeah idk what u though ur gonna get, either get a decent budget smartwatch or try to save up to buy the real thing

[wispy juniper]

No it worked for a year and then stopped recently, after I opened it up. Maybe I broke the Bluetooth power wire?

[proven crest]

you could have mentioned that before

yes, opening it up broke something

[teal perch]

you most likely broke the wireless coil

[wispy juniper]

Mb

[wispy juniper]

So it’s cooked?

[wispy juniper]

I did break it but that’s why I opened it to fix that

What does that have to do with Bluetooth

Are you ok

[teal perch]

you know how bluetooth works right?

[wispy juniper]

Yes, it works not through the qi coil

[proven crest]

It has antennas regardless

And you broke them

[wispy juniper]

Yea it’s cooked right

[proven crest]

Yes

[wispy juniper]

But why would my phone not even try to connect like if the antenna was broken the phone would try but fail it doesn’t even try

[proven crest]

Maybe because there’s no longer a Bluetooth signal strong enough to connect to? It’s like with wifi where you can see networks without an antenna attached, but good luck connecting or staying connected

[wispy juniper]

No but like if something is out of range, it would load for a while and then say failed to connect, but it doesn’t even load

Wait it worked

I just click forget and it worked

Wow
