New Watchy user?

You just received your watchy?

Great! Welcome to the community

First, you should identify your device: https://github.com/Szybet/InkWatchy/wiki/Identify-the-device

Then learn how to reset it (The bar on the right has a page for all watchy versions)

Now you should learn about your watchy here: https://github.com/Szybet/WatchySourcingHub

If you are a watchy v3 user, you should also be interested in the review in the link above too

Now, some key points:

  • Use a modern firmware. I suggest InkWatchy (You are now on the wiki of it!) or Watchy GSR. Others will not work, not even compile and barely anyone will help you, so no, use those 2 firmwares. Here is a longer explanation
  • Don't use Arduino IDE, ever. Only platformio
  • The SQFMI docs suck, they use arduino IDE anyway, which is bad
  • Here is the "Better" Watchy community, feel free to ask questions there: https://discord.gg/6PUmRXZRGD ;)

Apart from this wiki, here are some more resources about the watchy: https://github.com/Szybet/WatchySourcingHub
