As long as the watch has a mediatek chipset, which pretty much all generic chinese smartwatches do, then it should work flawlessly. I have a Cancgo K89 smartwatch I bought from the wish app. I downloaded the mediatek app from the playstore. 1. Sink mediatek software to your watch. 2. go to watchfaceup.com, and search for vxp compatible watchfaces (android ware has their own format, but vxp is for any mediatek chipset ). 3. Download whatever vxp format watchfaces you want. they’ll be in zip or rar format. make sure you’re downloading them to your smartphone, as this is where you will be adding the faces to the watch. 4. go to the download folder on your smartphone (under the phone storage, not sd card storage), and there, you will see the watchfaces you downloaded in zip or rar format. 5. select a watchface, it will say “extract to”. 6. go to “appmanager” folder on your smartphone (under phone storage, not sd card storage), and there is where you will extract the watchface folder. choose that watchface folder and open it, and you will see 3 files. The .png file, the .xml file, and the .vxp file. copy those three files, separate from the main folder, to the appmanger file, then delete the main folder you extracted. 7. once you’ve done that, if you open up the mediatek smartwatch software and go to the “my applications” selection, you wll see the watchface you copied to the appmanger folder on the phone. just hit install and it will install it. Done!

If mediatek doesn’t work, download Fundo. It pretty much has the same interface as mediatek. Hope this helps.
