Please keep in mind , for proper first time installation and use of the app:

1. first install phone application if possible (if not , please install phone app when watch app is fully closed)

2. make sure you are logged in to your amazon account through the phone app and the login button is gone

3. only after step 2 , run your watch app

4. make sure your watch is connected to your phone through bluetooth

5. make sure your watch app is connected to your phone app (both apps should show "Alexa Connected" in the Alexa logo on their displays)

6. only after step 5 start voice recording on your watch and send an Alexa command

7. if your language setting (phone app) does not work , please fresh install both apps and try with default language setting (en-US)

8. try logging in to https://alexa.amazon.com/spa/index.html and make timezone & location settings for your new Alexa device (it should show up as AlexaGear after you register through phone app)

Please , when reporting a crash, check the above steps list and tell me at what point you have the crash.
