Is there an alarm clock?
Yes, you can set a separate alarm time for each day of the week. The alarm call is triggered by increasing vibrations. The vibrations become so strong that you will hear the alarm clock even if you do not wear it at night and it is placed on a solid surface (wood, metal, glass) next to your bed.
Which notification services are supported?
Calls, SMS, WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook, Facebook Messenger, Email, Skype, Calendar, Snapchat, Twitter, Slack, WeChat, Tinder, Alipay, and Weibo. There is also an option for all notifications that do not fall in one of these categories.
What is regeneration?
The body's ability to recover depends on how we handle stress and allow for rest. We all experience different stressful situations like work, sports, lack of sleep, and improper nutrition over time. To prevent these stresses from overwhelming our bodies, it's important to take appropriate measures like getting enough sleep, taking rest days, engaging in stress-reducing exercises, maintaining a healthy diet, and taking vacations. These stresses and periods of rest are measured by the regeneration state. Your Bugatti smartwatch, with its personalized calibration, can inform you about the level of exhaustion or recovery your body is experiencing. On the watch, you can see the data from the past 24 hours, and in the app, you can access all the detailed information.
What is HRV?
Heart rate variability (also called HRV) is the ability of the organism to optimally adjust the sequence of heartbeats and thus enable the best possible supply of blood to the organism and the necessary demand for oxygen and other nutrients.
- Variable heartbeat: sign of good condition / good functions
- Rigid beat sequence: sign of high stress / poor functions.

How does the Ghost Challenge work exactly?
You can set any distance and your desired target time to start a challenge against yourself, or set your desired target time for a race distance. You then run against a pacemaker (Ghost) and can use that as a guide to see if you are ahead or behind your Ghost to reach your desired goal time.
How exactly does the acceleration function work?
When you enter the Acceleration menu item, you can choose between different acceleration measurements. 0-100, 0-150, 0-200, and so on. Once it is activated, you can start. The watch tracks acceleration automatically via the 6-axis sensor and GPS. If you want to repeat the measurement, you just need to click Repeat.
How does the GPS Laptiming function work?
When you navigate to the GPS Laptiming menu item, you can set the start/finish line on any (outdoor) race track or circuit, regardless of the sport (from running to motorsports). The start/finish line will then be permanently stored until you overwrite it at some point. To do this, go exactly to the center of the start/finish line. If you later activate the GPS laptiming function, your lap times will be automatically stopped when you cross the line.
How many Watch Faces are there?
There are several watch faces with different color options, so there will be 29 variants in total. All watch faces are available for all Bugatti Smartwatch models.
Is there an always-on display?
Yes, there is an always-on disaplay. Please note that turning it on will significantly reduce the battery time to 1-3 days depending on the watch model.
How does the watch determine the time zone I am in?
The time zone is taken from the smartphone, but can be set separately by the user on the watch.
Is there a possibility to set a 2nd time zone?
A second time zone is available for some dials.
How does the changeover of summer and winter time work?
The summer and winter time is set automatically via the time zone.
How are calories/dehydration measured if I don't wear the watch at night?
When you're not wearing your Bugatti Smartwatch, our smart algorithm recognizes it and makes adjustments. It disables certain features like HRV and micro-motion measurement, and instead relies on your previous data to provide accurate information about your calorie consumption. This means you can still get reliable information even if you're not wearing your Bugatti Smartwatch at night.
When is VO2Max displayed?
VO2Max is displayed if the necessary conditions for it are present:
Limitations:
- Kilometers run or started in the first 5 minutes are ignored.
- The formula always refers to metric units.
- Only km containing less than 30 m positive or negative elevation change per km can be used.
- At least one whole km is required that meets all criteria for calculating VO2Max.
- If more than one km meets the criteria, the maximum result is used.
- VO2max is calculated only for running activities and challenge mode. For all other types of activities, no VO2max calculation is performed.
Is there a timer?
Yes, there is. From the main menu go down to the forth menu item "Countdown Timer. Here you are able so set a timer of up to 10 hours.

Cortex M4 core @120MHz, Cortex M0+ core; with 2MB Flash, 640kB SRAM + Cortex M4 @ 64MHz, 1MB Flash, 256kB SRAM
Is the watch equipped with GNSS/GPS?
The watch has a GNSS subsystem that supports Galileo (Europe), GPS (USA) and Glonass (Russia).
How accurate is the GNSS/GPS?
The intelligent algorithm automatically detects how high the resolution needs to be in order to function. For certain functions that require higher resolution and clocking, the watch uses all three GNSS systems simultaneously, increasing the resolution rate to over 10 Hz (10 times per second). For activities that require fewer data points (such as hiking), the system switches to a low-power endurance mode and uses fewer satellites simultaneously, reducing the resolution rate.
What are the specifications of the display?
1.19 inch 390x390 RGB sapphire glass AMOLED touch display, 16.7 million colors.
What is the advantage of a sapphire glass display?
A sapphire glass display is the highest quality of all solutions. Sapphire glass is virtually impossible to scratch in practice.
Does the watch have WiFi?
A WiFi module is not installed. All communication between the phone and the smartwatch takes place via BLE. This significantly extends the battery life.
