Pairing your Artemis Watch 2.0 with a phone

How Bluetooth pairing works on the Artemis Watch 2.0, and what to check when the watch and phone will not find each other.

The Artemis Watch 2.0 has Bluetooth built in and pairs with your smartphone to track your daily activity.

Before you start. The watch arrives fully assembled but not necessarily charged. Charge it with the included cable first — a watch low on battery will often power up but fail to hold a Bluetooth connection.

If the watch and phone will not find each other

  • Charge the watch fully and try again.

  • Turn Bluetooth off and back on on the phone, then restart the phone.

  • Keep the two within arm's reach while pairing.

  • If the watch was previously paired to another phone, remove it from that phone's Bluetooth list first. Most phones will not let a second device pair while the first still claims it.

  • Restore the watch firmware from code.circuitmess.com if you have been coding on it. A program you wrote can take over the radio.

One thing worth knowing: if you have been programming the watch in CircuitBlocks, your program replaces the stock firmware behaviour while it runs. Restoring the stock firmware puts the normal watch and pairing functions back.

If none of that works, email [email protected] with your order number, the phone model and operating system version, and what you see on the watch when you try to pair. Please tell us the phone model — it is the first thing we will ask.
