Troubleshooting Guide

Please follow these steps before contacting support so we can best help all of our customers. Thank you!

My WAVwatch is acting weird. How can I reset it?

Just like a phone or computer, your WAVwatch may need to be rebooted or reset occasionally. So the first step is to try a reset. There are two ways to reset your watch:

  1. Use a paper clip or safety pin and push in between the Volume Up and Volume Down buttons for 3 seconds. See picture below for correct reset hole.

  2. Hold the Power Button (bottom left) for 45 seconds, then release.

Try one of these methods. You will want to then charge the unit for an hour and perform another reset . This should clear most errors and correct unresponsive or “dead” units.

My WAVwatch doesn't seem to be charging.

First, try a full unit reset, with the instructions above. If that doesn’t work, try the following:

  1. Check to see that your charging cable is fully inserted in both the WAVwatch and the charging plug or wall charger. We do not recommend charging from a computer USB port.

  2. Check the power to your USB port by plugging a phone or different device into the port.

  3. If neither of these work, check to make sure your cable is not damaged, and try charging with a different micro USB cord.

My WAVwatch says "Disc Error" or "TF Card error".

This is usually caused by jostling the memory card during normal use or shipping. Please follow the directions below to re-seat, and clean your memory card.

  1. First power down your WAVwatch by holding the bottom left power button.

  2. Look on the bottom side of the device (picture below) and press in on the SD / TF card and then release. The card should stick out a very small amount.

  3. Remove the card fully and clean the metal pads with a soft cloth.

  4. With the metal pads facing up towards the device, gently press the card back into the device. You should hear or feel a little click and the card will stay inside the device. You may need to use your fingernail to push the card fully into the device.

  5. Power on the device and check that the error has cleared.

My WAVwatch has a white screen with splotches, what is wrong with it?

Oftentimes these errors are indicative of internal damages within the unit, and may be due to incidentals such as liquid intrusion, or a broken component. If you have the additional Accidental Damage warranty, it can be utilized, or you also have access to our repair shops for a reasonable fee.

Please reach out to us with detailed information to get routed to our repair shops if needed.

The frequencies that play have a crackling or distorted sound, how can I fix this?

This may be a memory card (SD/TF card) error, and we are happy to correct this issue for you! Please reach out to us to start this process. Including a valid shipping address in your initial email will help expedite the process.

None of these help. What can I do?

First, don’t panic - we are happy to help! We have a standard 1-year manufacturing defect warranty on all units, and if you purchased an Accidental Damage warranty, you are covered for accidental damage for 1 year from the date of unit purchase. Simply contact support, and we will look up your warranty based on your contact information and/or order number.

For accidents without an Accidental Damage warranty, we can still help you through our repair shops at a reasonable fee.

How and where do I send in my unit for repair?

We now have several repair locations in the US!

Common Warranty and Repair Questions

My unit is damaged, and I would like to utilize my Accidental Warranty. How do I do that?

Reach out to us to start a replacement process!

Please note that replacement units issued under the Accidental Warranty are a one-time use and cannot be covered by a new Accidental Warranty purchase.

The back of my watch has popped off, what should I do?

If the back of your watch has come loose, it may be due to regular wear and tear. We are happy to provide you with a complimentary screwdriver kit and replacement screws. Simply reach out to us, and be sure to include a valid shipping address in your initial email to speed up the process.

  • Sound Sensitivity and Hyperacusis

    by Linda Bamber May 26, 2026
    Why Am I Sensitive to Noise All of a Sudden? Suddenly becoming sensitive to sound can feel confusing and exhausting. Ordinary noises that never bothered you before may now feel sharp, overwhelming, irritating, or impossible to ignore. Some people notice it after stress, burnout, illness, poor sleep, loud noise exposure, or long periods of nervous system strain. Some react strongly to clanging dishes, traffic, crowds, loud TV, barking dogs, or many conversations at once. In some cases, this experience relates to hyperacusis, a condition involving increased sensitivity to everyday sound. However, sound sensitivity is not always only about the ears. The nervous system, stress response, hearing pathways, mental fatigue, and sensory processing may affect how sound feels. They may also affect how strongly the brain reacts to it.

  • Ringing In Both Ears: Causes and Support

    by Linda Bamber May 22, 2026
    Bilateral Tinnitus: Ringing in Both Ears Ringing in both ears can feel mentally draining because the sound does not stay on one side. It can follow you through work, rest, conversations, quiet rooms, and sleep. Some people hear a soft hum, others notice buzzing, hissing, static, or a high-pitched tone that seems to fill the whole listening space. Bilateral tinnitus means tinnitus affects both ears. It may develop slowly over time. It can also become more noticeable during stress, poor sleep, illness, hearing strain, or sound overload. Common symptoms include: Ringing in both ears Buzzing or humming High-pitched tones Static-like noise Sound that feels stronger in quiet rooms This type of tinnitus often feels different from one-sided tinnitus because there may be no “quiet side” for the brain to shift toward. That can make the experience feel more constant, immersive, and emotionally tiring.

  • Unilateral Tinnitus: Ringing In One Ear

    by Linda Bamber May 19, 2026
    Unilateral Tinnitus: Ringing in One Ear Explained Do you notice ringing, humming, buzzing, or other noises in just one ear? Many people find this especially stressful because the sound feels stronger and more focused on one side. Unilateral (one-sided) tinnitus is the term used when tinnitus affects only one ear. Some people notice the sound suddenly, while others experience it gradually over time. The sound may come and go, or it may stay consistent throughout the day, which can affect the quality of life. Many people describe: Ringing in one ear Buzzing in one ear Humming sounds High-pitched tones Sudden ringing in one ear In many cases, the cause is manageable once properly evaluated. Stress, sound exposure, sinus pressure, jaw tension, sleep problems, and hearing changes may all contribute to symptoms.

  • Pulsatile Tinnitus Explained

    by Linda Bamber May 14, 2026
    Pulsatile Tinnitus: Causes, Symptoms and Treatment Do you notice a steady pulsing, rushing, or rhythmic noise in your ear that appears to sync with your heartbeat? Many people describe pulsatile tinnitus as a sound that feels different from regular ringing in the ears. Unlike common tinnitus, this rhythmic sound often follows a steady pattern. Some people notice it more at night, during stress, or when lying down quietly. Pulsatile tinnitus can have several possible causes. Changes in blood flow, circulation, blood pressure, stress, and tension may all play a role. In certain situations, the noise is not harmful. In other situations, it deserves medical attention. Many people notice the pulsing sound in one ear only, although it can affect both ears in some situations. The good news is that many causes are manageable once properly identified. Understanding symptoms and possible triggers is often the first step to feeling less anxious. It can also help you feel more in control of your quality of life.
