Hello,
I received the watch this morning (Australia), no taxes !
I had a very similar situation to PeerDavid's one. Bluetooth worked at first. After 10 minutes, I tried to pair the watch to my phone to load apps. Just Bluetooth pairing, without any app. Since then I had issues: Bluetooth is always greyed. At startup, I've been stuck for a while with:
"Checking storage...
Storage ok
Bluetooth"
(and nothing) it stops there, I need to restart.
I restarted the watch a lot, fiddled around with BLE settings on the watch, on my phone and on my computer's bluetooth.
I couldn't figure a pattern, I stumbled upon different message:
"Checking storage...
Storage ok"
and it stops there, I need to restart.
Or it starts like it should:
"Checking storage...
Storage ok
Bluetooth..............."
But it's not possible to interact with the watch.
My webbrowser on my laptop sees the watch, offers to link to it, but the connection fails.
Strangely, on my laptop, I can randomly see the bangle in my bluetooth settings.
As PeerDavid, I'm left with not much of a smartwatch without bluetooth.
And while I was typing this, I managed to connect the watch to the bangle app store with my laptop. The bluetooth icon on the watch is still grey and if I go to whitelist on the bangle, it says I'm not connected. But I could upload apps succesfully anyway !
I think I'll try to reflash clean the bangle tomorrow, if it's possible.
