My Artemis Watch 2.0 froze or shows a white screen after coding

A watch that froze after coding is almost always the program, not the hardware. How to restore it.

Written by Albert Gajsak

If the watch froze, went white or stopped responding while you were coding on it, the good news is that this is almost always the program rather than the watch — and it is reversible at home.

Restore the stock firmware

Your code is not lost. Sketches are saved in your CircuitBlocks account, not on the watch, so after a restore you can open the sketch, fix the loop or bug that locked it up, and run it again. Why programs behave this way is covered in Why doesn’t the program I wrote in CircuitBlocks stay on the device after a reset?.

If the watch stays frozen even after a successful restore, or it froze without any coding involved, treat it as a hardware question and see Something is wrong with my Artemis Watch 2.0 — that article covers what to send us.
