On your watch

Qshot can put your QR code on a smartwatch face, so you share by holding out your wrist instead of finding your phone.

⋯ → Watch settings, or Watch in your account.

Watch settings: the preview, the no-watch notice, and QR appearance
1A live preview of the watch face
2Whether a watch is actually paired

You can set this up with no watch​

The amber notice — No watch detected. Install QShot on your watch to start sharing from your wrist — is a statement of fact, not an error. Every setting below it still works, and the preview updates as you change them.

So the design can be finished now and the watch paired later.

QR APPEARANCE​

SettingChoices
Center logoThe mark in the middle of the code
Code colorThe squares
BackgroundBehind them
Code patternSmooth, Dots or Square

:::warning Contrast is not a style choice here A watch screen is small and often read in sunlight, at arm's length, by a camera that has one second to lock on.

Keep the code dark on a light background. A light code on a dark background is the usual reason a watch face will not scan. :::

Choosing which site the watch shows​

Not here — it is Show on watch in each site's Website settings. This screen styles whichever site that switch has chosen.
