Cheap watch-style "MP4" players commonly need files converted to match a tiny screen, old codecs, or a vendor-specific wrapper before they’ll play. Try the software that shipped with the unit first (as and suggested) — those utilities often auto-convert and upload. If you don’t have the CD, the device will usually appear as a removable drive when plugged into a PC; look for any sample video on it and copy that to your computer for inspection.

If there’s no sample, check the player specs or measure typical watch resolutions (these devices commonly use very small sizes such as 96x96, 128x96 or 160x128) and low frame-rates. Use MediaInfo or VLC to inspect a working file’s resolution, codec and audio rate if available. A reliable manual workflow is to transcode with ffmpeg to match those values — example (replace scale/rate/extension to match your player):

ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -vf scale=128:96 -r 12 -vcodec mpeg4 -b:v 300k -acodec libmp3lame -ar 22050 -ac 1 -b:a 64k output.nxv

Notes: set scale to the player’s resolution, lower -r (fps) and -b:v if playback stutters, and use mono 22050 Hz audio for best compatibility. Some players expect a special extension or container (as and pointed out); if a converted file won’t play, try changing the container (.avi, .mp4 or the device’s expected extension) or tweak codecs.

Upload tips: use the vendor uploader where possible; when copying manually, place videos in the same folder where sample clips live (or the root /VIDEO folder), safely eject before unplugging, and test with a short clip first. If you can’t get reliable playback and the seller won’t provide working software, returning the unit (as did) is reasonable for such low-cost hardware.
