  • Restart your watch and phone
  • Uninstall Facer Companion app on watch and resintall the companion app, from your phone (On the Facer app on mobile, click on the Menu > Settings > Facer Companion App “Tap here to re-install…” YOU WILL NEED TO SET THE FACER PERMISSIONS ON YOUR WATCH AGAIN!
  • And if none of that helps, then you can submit a support request with Facer at https://help.facer.io
