NASA Artemis Watch 2.0 FAQ
What is NASA Artemis Watch?
CircuitMess NASA Artemis Watch 2.0 is a ready-to-use, programmable smartwatch. It's inspired by NASA's Artemis missions and designed to teach you about coding and wearable technology through fun, interactive use.
What will I learn with the NASA Artemis Watch?
Using and programming the Artemis Watch provides a hands-on introduction to wearable technology. You'll learn about the components inside—like accelerometers and gyroscopes—and have the opportunity to learn basic to advanced coding by creating your own watch faces and apps.
What age range is NASA Artemis Watch suitable for?
The Artemis Watch is generally recommended for ages 9 and up. There is nothing to assemble — it arrives ready to wear — so the age guidance is about the coding and customisation rather than the build. Younger children can use it straight away and grow into the programming side with a hand from an adult.
Is the watch ready to use out of the box?
Yes! The NASA Artemis Watch 2.0 is fully assembled. Just charge it up with the included cable, and you can start using its features immediately. The fun of coding and customization can begin whenever you're ready.
What features does NASA Artemis Watch have?
Beyond telling time, the Artemis Watch features a built-in accelerometer, gyroscope, compass, and temperature sensor. It pairs with your smartphone over Bluetooth, and you can customise the display with your own coded watch faces, animations and simple apps. You can also use it to control the NASA Perseverance Mars Rover kit.
Can I program NASA Artemis Watch?
Yes, you can! The Artemis Watch is designed to be programmable. You can use CircuitBlocks, our visual, block-based coding environment that's perfect for beginners, or you can use Arduino and Python if you're more experienced. This lets you customize the watch's functionality and create your own unique applications.
