My son got a Spynet Video Watch for Christmas. He has been charging it for over 5 hours and it still doesn't show a full charge. It only shows half a charge and when he takes it off and tries to use it the watch only works for a few minutes and shuts off. Is there anything we can do to fix this?

All you need is a mini-USB to USB cable. Then use your laptop or any open USB port to charge.

If you have a Iphone charger base unplug the wire then just cilp in the long retangular part of the usb charger (also works with a nitendo charger) then plug itno the wall connected to the watch. not everyone needs a computer used to charge it!

Could be - I would take the scooter or battery to a car store and they will load check the battery - That is, they will cause the battery to do work, and measure the voltage.
Measuring volts while the battery is at rest will indicate full voltage. That would be a flawed test.

You have to charge the batteries for nearly 8-10 hours. Brand new batteries also require a full recharge of 8-10 hours.Not only making sure the batteries are charged, have you changed the battery in the menu under type of batteries.

Hi there we had to take back his first spynet watch because the speaker decided not to work then we took back a second spynet watch because it would work when it felt like it...our son really liked it too, however after the second watch we didn't wan't to keep having problems so he decided to buy something else...gave up trying to get on their website because it kept freezing and couldn't download spy missions so we had nothing but problems with it ...hope that helps

A bit late to the party, but two things come to mind. If the watch is new old stock with a few years on it, more than likely the battery is bad, it won't charge any more. Also, the power supply may be bad, I use 5 volt one amp charger, also, the manual says to charge it with the screen on, I tried that, and the battery will never be fully charged because the screen being on drains the battery faster than the charger can charge it.If the watch is working but the battery is low, connect the charge cable to the watch, then to the charger, otherwise the charger will pull the battery down too. So, let the screen go blank, then charge it, I have tried this method multiple times, and every time, assuming the battery is good, it fully charges in few hours. If you are adventurous, you can upgrade the battery to 450mah, it's a little bigger than the one it comes with, but lasts a lot longer, only a small amount of modification to the plastic strips made into the watch back need to be done, simply remove the strip closest to the electronics and it will fit just fine.

OMG!!! I am so upset right now my son's watch was on the computer charging and now all it has across the screen is spynet ....I HAVE RESET IT AND IT GOES BACK TO THE SAME THING!! I AM RETURNING IT TODAY!!! WHAT A DISAPPOINMENT

Merry Christmas.

Make sure the hold switch is not engaged - it will interfere with the charging process. Here is a link to the full user's manual:

Try taping it to the inside of your window for a couple days and see if that makes it charge up enough to act right. You might also want to make sure that you don't have the "auto light" on. If the light turns on when you tilt the watch to a 45 degree angle then press the light button for 2 seconds to shut that off. If that doesn't work for you then you are probably going to have to have the battery changed.
