Yes. On an Android phone, the Artemis Watch 2.0 connects through CircuitMess Connect, our free app on Google Play. On an iPhone there is no app to install: see Pairing your Artemis Watch 2.0 with a phone.
Google Play says the app is for an older version of Android? That is usually an older app, not CircuitMess Connect. Search Google Play for CircuitMess Connect and check that the publisher under the name says CircuitMess. If you used Bangle.js before, CircuitMess Connect replaces it.
Setting it up
Update the firmware first. Watches made before August 2026 need this before the app can find them, so if you are not sure when yours was made, do it anyway. Plug the watch into a computer with a USB data cable, open CircuitBlocks at code.circuitmess.com in Chrome or Edge and log in, choose Restore firmware at the top right and pick your watch. Wait for it to finish before you unplug. This clears anything saved on the watch.
Install CircuitMess Connect on your phone.
Grant every permission on the app's first screen. Continue stays grey until they all read Granted.
Pair from inside the app. Wake the watch and keep it close, tap Start searching devices, then tap your Artemis Watch.
The full illustrated guide is at circuitmess.com/connect-app.
If something is not right
A red "Outdated firmware" bar. The watch is running older firmware. The bar is a notice, not a button: restore the firmware from a computer as in step 1, then in the app tap ••• on the watch's card and choose Refresh to re-check it.
It dropped the connection. The watch does not reconnect on its own. Wake it and tap it in the app's list.
The restore will not run. See The firmware restore at code.circuitmess.com fails or cannot find my device.
If the red bar stays after a restore, or the watch still will not connect, message us here, or email [email protected] with your order number, your phone model and Android version, and a screenshot of what the app shows.
