Install Solo Watch from a web browser
Open the Play Store in your browser
The first thing you do is to load the Google Play Store website. Open your favourite web browser on a computer and go to play.google.com. If you are logged in to a Google service like Gmail, your Google identity shows up in the top-right corner, and you can skip to the next section of the tutorial. If you are not logged in, you get a Sign in button, and the first thing you must do is log in with your Google account.
Find Solo Watch App
Locate the Search input field at the top-centre of the screen and type Solo Watch.
Press Enter on the keyboard (or tap the blue magnifying glass button to the right of the search box). Then, click or tap on Solo Watch, in the list of search results.
Once you click or tap the app, Play Store site displays the app page.
Install the app using the Play Store website
To install the app, click or tap the Install button at the top of the page.
You may be asked to verify your Google account identity. Do so to be able to move to the next step. If you have the same Google account set up on multiple Android devices, you can choose in a drop-down list on which device you want to install the app. You also see a list with the permissions the app requires for it to run. Choose the device from the drop-down list and click or tap Install.
Choose the device on which to install the app
A pop-up dialog appears, informing you that the app is going to be installed on your device soon.
The term is intentionally vague because the installation depends on the connection of your device to the internet, and how busy it is doing other tasks. If the device is turned off, for example, the installation takes place after you turn it on again.
Installation confirmed in Google Play Store
Once you press the OK button, you are turned to the app page. This time, the button at the top of the page says Installed, confirming your action. For future installations, on the same device or others, press the Installed button, and the Play Store behaves the same as when you pressed Install.
You can now go to your device and check that the app has been successfully installed. You do not need to take any other action for the installation to happen.
