Thanks
So I've had the watch two weeks and some questions 1. How do I start a battle? And 2. How do I wake up my mon?
Yes, like Droid990 said, you can start a battle by tapping your phone to the Vital Bracelet. I have found that the phone needs to be unlocked for it to work, and the Vital Bracelet needs to lit up as well (as in, press any button so the screen lights up, as opposed to being black). The NFC place seems to be at the top of my phone. Once you click it, a "Warning" sign will pop up, and when you click a side button, the watch will show you the opponent. If the opponent is higher level/etc, you can run away by pressing the bottom right button for a while.
If you have friends/family who also have a Vital Bracelet, you can use the VS card to take one digimon out of the watch and fight the other. (If the digimon gets lost in between, it will reappear on your watch again after 10 mins).
You can't wake up your digimon if you have the original watch, except by haxing it by changing the clock in the settings. Some digimon wake up at 10 AM, some at 8 PM. If you check out the humulos digimon guide, click on a evolution and it will say at the bottom of at what time they wake up. I haven't needed to change the date, I only change the clock time.

Unless you have the new watch, my understanding is you can't wake up your mon.they have designated waking hours (mostly from 8 am to 8pm) but I've seen others that range +/- an hour.
And the battles are just coming in contact with an NFC enabled device. I use my phone. Just have it unlocked and tap to my watch when it is at the home screen
