About Bangle.js

Bangle.js has 3 physical buttons, and two touch areas.

On the right-hand side, top to bottom, the buttons are BTN1, BTN2, BTN3.

Turning on

Tap BTN1 to turn Bangle.js on, and release it quickly. If you hold BTN1 you will enter the bootloader, and will have to press BTN1 again to exit.

Loading Apps

Charging

The supplied charge cable connects to a USB port to charge Bangle.js (there is no data connection, it is power only).

You must connect the cable the right way around or it won't work: With Bangle.js facing away from you (so you're looking at the shiny back) and the CE Rohs text the right way up, the USB cable should exit from the left side of the watch.

The cable is magnetic and the wires are connected directly to USB power. Do not leave your cable plugged in or it might attract itself to the nearest magnetic (probably conductive) object and short out.

Powering off

Powering off if completely broken

Resetting

Note: The correct time will be lost and Bangle.js will start at midnight 1970.

Resetting without loading any code

If you uploaded something that runs at startup and breaks Bangle.js you may need to do this. It won’t delete anything, so unless you fix/remove the broken code Bangle.js will remain broken next time it restarts.

You can now go to http://banglejs.com/apps , connect, then go to More...-> Install default apps and you’re good to go.
