In the settings, you can turn off the always-on and tilt-to-wake functions to elongate the overall battery life.
There are multiple solutions to prevent rapid battery-drain.
The brighter your watch screen, the higher the battery drain. Therefore, adjusting your screen brightness will elongate battery life.
Some third-party watch faces, especially those with animations or interactive abilities, consume more battery than others. If you recently installed an app or a watch face and notice that your battery is draining faster than usual, try uninstalling that app or watch face.

For further information, please visit the Wear OS website for additional support.

One reason might be that the contact between the charging cradle and the watch is disrupted. Lift the watch and place it again onto the charger. Make sure that the pad on the watch is correctly aligned with the pins on the charger. Please also see the Quick Start Guide for an illustration of how to charge your Montblanc Summit.
Another reason might be that if you are charging via USB, your computer might not provide enough power for that outlet. Instead, try charging it with a wall charger.
Also, make sure that the charging pins on the watch and cradle/dock are clean. You can wipe them with a slightly damp soft cloth.
Finally, check if there is any dust in the micro USB port. Blow on the port gently to remove any dust or dirt.

When connected to your phone, your Summit 2 obtains the GPS signal from the phone.
When the connection between the phone and the watch is disconnected, the watch will obtain a GPS signal on its own.

The initial signal fix may take several minutes. Please ensure that you have a clear line of sight of the sky. Large buildings, trees, and other obstacles might also complicate the connection. Finally, the watch must not be covered by a thick sleeve or similar objects.

When using Montblanc Summit 2, many factors can influence the accuracy of the position, distance, and speed readings that appear on the device. With a strong satellite signal, the GPS position reported by the watch should be accurate to about 3 meters or 10 feet. A weaker satellite signal may decrease that positional accuracy, in turn affecting the accuracy of the distance and speed readings that will be reported.

When using your Montblanc Summit 2 in an area such as a densely wooded path or the middle of a city with tall buildings, you may experience a longer time for the device to acquire a satellite signal. Once you've received a satellite signal, you may also see a degraded performance with your GPS track as well as your running/walking pace.

Also, as GPS satellite signals pass through the atmosphere and interact with other environmental factors (such as trees, hills, mountains, buildings, cars, reflective surfaces and more), they can become distorted. In the past, this would often cause a loss of position altogether, but with modern GPS devices that have higher sensitivity receivers, only the weakest signal will prevent the device from locating your position. As a result, GPS drift can occur, causing the device to appear to be moving even though you are standing still.
To minimise these factors it is best to begin the satellite acquisition period when you still have a clear view of the sky, even if you are going to start the activity where the view is more limited. And, if you are going to be stationary for a while, pause the activity during that time to help limit the amount of inaccuracy introduced by GPS drift.

Yes. Montblanc Summit 2 has Google Assistant built-in. You can either hold down the power button, swipe to the right while being on your current watch face, or say “OK Google” (if enabled in the settings) to find answers and get things done even when your hands are full. Reply to a message, set a reminder, ask for directions, or ask for translations.

Yes, the sensor is on the back of the watch so that you can track your heart rate while performing sports and pursuing your fitness goals. For best performance, please make sure to have a proper fit between wrist and watch. Please also make sure to not cover the HRM with any other material such as the strap.

First, make sure that your device has Bluetooth® smart technology enabled. Then, download and open the Montblanc Hub app from your device's app store. The Montblanc Hub app will guide you through the pairing process for your Bluetooth enabled iOS or Android™ device.

Your watch is comparable to a jewel. Creations of such exquisite craftsmanship require special care to maintain their pristine appearance and precise performance. To prolong its longevity and precious beauty, Montblanc highly recommends regular servicing, which allows you to keep your timepiece in perfect condition and working properly for a lifetime. 

Just as a car requires regular maintenance, every watch also needs consistent care. Your watch requires maintenance every one to five years, depending on the mechanical features of the watch. If you have any further questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact your nearest Montblanc boutique or certified Montblanc retailer. 

Our qualified experts will be pleased to provide you with any information you may require.

Magnetic fields, such as those produced by TV sets, radios and magnets, occur everywhere. They affect different parts of a watch’s movement and change its performance. You can use a compass to check for magnetic fields. If the needle responds, then you are in a region of magnetic influence. 

Please note that this only concerns mechanical movements. Quartz movements may lose a few seconds, but will return to normal once you leave the magnetic field. Our Montblanc service centres are equipped with special devices to demagnetise your watch. Do not hesitate to bring your watch to a Montblanc boutique or certified Montblanc retailer if you have any questions.

Montblanc recommends removing jewellery, especially rings, during household chores and gardening. Please avoid contact with salty water, soap, cosmetic products, fragrances, hairsprays and corrosive or solvent-based cleaning agents. 

Substances such as chlorine may permanently damage or discolour your Montblanc jewellery, especially at high temperatures. Please avoid wearing your Montblanc jewellery to the beach, swimming pool, hot tub or playing sports in order to protect it from damage. Please be sure to have the stones’ settings checked regularly by one of our goldsmiths to ensure they are still securely set.

Leather is a natural material that is sensitive to the effects of light, humidity and water. To keep your Montblanc leather product in perfect condition and prevent the colour from fading, Montblanc recommends protecting it from prolonged exposure to high temperatures and direct sunlight and humidity. In the event of contact with water, it should be dried promptly with a soft, smooth cloth. To maintain its natural softness, Montblanc recommends treating your leather product on a regular basis with Montblanc leather care.

We have created video tutorials to show you how best to clean and fill your Montblanc fountain pen. We recommend cleaning your fountain pen about every three months to ensure perfect writing performance. This is especially important if the ink has dried due to lack of use or the power supply system is blocked, you will have to use a different colour of ink or the ink flow could become uneven or stop altogether. For cleaning, use only lukewarm water without additives. Condensation cannot be avoided after the cleaning process inside the cap. Therefore, always make sure to clean the nib and the inside of the cap with a damp, lint-free cloth. To prevent leakage, keep the writing instrument completely filled with new ink and carry the fountain pen with the nib facing upwards. See the dedicated section for more information.

To clean the precious resin surface just wipe it gently with a soft lint-free cloth from time to time. You can use a damp cloth if necessary. Do not use any chemicals or solvent containing liquids as this leads to damage of the precious resin.

Yes, you can. To avoid leakage, fill the fountain pen ink as described in the Service Guide or if it is a cartridge pen, insert a fresh cartridge before the flight. Carry the fountain pen with the nib pointing upwards

Active Noise Cancellation is a technology cancelling an external background noise (e.g. airplane engines) by the addition of a second sound specifically designed to “counterpart” and thus cancel out the first. 

The Montblanc MB 01 have an advanced hybrid ANC. Hybrid ANC uses microphones inside and outside the ear cups. The internal microphones take into account the music playing, while the external microphones detect and block out a wider range of frequencies.

When the Live Mode is on, the microphones capture low volume external sounds and amplify them to the internal speakers. In this mode, you can therefore hear your ambient surroundings while wearing the headphones. To activate/disable Live Mode press the ANC Button. The current mode will be announced by the headphones.

This functionality is turned off by default. To activate it, press simultaneously the volume down button and the ANC button for 8 seconds. Repeat this procedure to deactivate it again.
