Hi! What type of computer do you have?

I don't think a web IDE can just flash an entire firmware image onto the watch

Actually, it can! Generally I don't mention or recommend it because it's slower and some people have found it unreliable. If it fails it won't destroy your watch but it will stop it working until you can find someone with a phone or PC that works to update the firmware successfully.

But if I know your PC/OS then I should have a clearer idea whether it's likely to work for you.

Otherwise - do you have a tablet? It's not just phones that work with the apps - anything that's iOS or Android will be fine.

I forgot to include my PC's operating system: I'm using Windows 10.
Unfortunately, I do not have a tablet. I have no devices at all that run Android or iOS.
Bluetooth seems to work fine on my computer whenever I use it--so far for the watch, the connection doesn't time out.
