I have just received watch and am very excited to get it to work. I have tried to connect watch to phone (Droid X) but will pair but not connect. I have installed OpenWatch but problem still persists. I am no programmer so could someone "Dumby" this down so that I could use. I was under the impression the watch would work out of the box. I have zero programming skills so any help would be greatly appreciated. I am a Android user.

The easiest method I've found is to download the firmware via a Blackberry (ask a friend or stop into your local phone store) then just hook it up via Openwatch and you'll be good to go. Oh and make sure you have Opewatch v. 1.5, latest update. Good luck!

Is their another way to do this. I dont know of any Blackberry users. I would like to do this on my computer. I read the getting started guide and it talked about running the compileandload.py command with a -n parameter. The problem is I have NO I idea what that means. I am starting to think I just wasted 159.00.

It is a little tough on the computer, if you email the support staff here, they are in the process of writing a quick start guide for Android. They're pretty helpful so give them a shout.

OK, I was on the same carriage as you this morning. Got the phone on the mail, and all happily connected it to charge the battery and assumed that at least I would be able to see the time :)

Anyway, after taking a look at the quick guide, I soon realized that this watch requires some knowledge on setting up your computer to be able to compile, upload and something showing on it. That being said, here is a list of things you must do beforehand:
- Get python working on your computer.
- Make sure you have the bluetooth stack installed on your computer.
- Pair the watch with your computer, taking note of the watch's Bluetooth MAC address.
- Once those two are working, you need to run the L2CAPServer to communicate via Bluetooth with the watch.
- Running the compileandupload.py script, whatever example you copy to the src folder on the SDK gets uploaded to the watch.

You shall see your phone go into a loading mode and getting the data. Once it finishes uploading the code, it will automatically reboot and you shall see whatever you uploaded.

In conclusion, you really need to spend time and understand what is going on. It is definitely not for everyone!

Best of luck,
