Would there possibly be a way to just completely factory reset the watch (like maybe from the flash)? May sound dumb, don't know too much about how it works yet as I just got it. I have nothing important/useful on there at the moment, so I don't have to worry about losing anything I've done on it.

Hi @LethalLeafs Not a good way to start off the weekend as I'm sure you had set aside some fun time to play. Rats!
While I may not have all the answers, there are a few things we may try to get enough info to resolve this quickly.
Q1: Which Bangle hardware ver are we dealing with?
https://www.espruino.com/Bangle.js
https://www.espruino.com/Bangle.js2Bangle.js 2 only has a single button, while the original standard Bangle has 3 buttons
Q2: Does the console output of the Web IDE show anything of importance, is there BLE comm?
Upper right
Settings >> Console
Posting the content after the Initiaization Lines might be of some assistance

From post #2
'Any function ran in Web IDE seems to be undefined '
Could this be just a mis-understanding of how functions report to the IDE console?
See 9th bullet
When I type a command, why does Espruino print =undefined?

https://www.espruino.com/Bangle.js#firmware-updatesHave any of the reset attempts been tried and what are the results of each?

Now I realize we will need to get your Bangle responding first;
"LOW_MEMORY, MEMORY"
Follow along with this recent discussion

Thank you for responding! I am working with the first Bangle. I am actually not around my computer today (I will be tomorrow and can update you on details necessary then) but for now, I know that I was still able to connect to the Web IDE through BLE despite the watch not displaying anything

It wasn't that the functions were undefined, it was a problem finding the modules. It was throwing error messages that I am supposing traced back to the module files (I do not know the file structure in Bangle yet)

Also, I have tried every recommendation from "Powering off" to "Deleting Apps" in the link that you sent, and nothing helped at all / could not work (throws errors)

'still able to connect to the Web IDE through BLE despite the watch not displaying anything'
Great, so we confirm a 3 button Bangle 1 original and BLE is working.
'I have tried every recommendation'
Please try the steps below: 'Resetting without loading any code'
http://www.espruino.com/Bangle.js#resetting-without-loading-any-code
Be sure to:
1) 'Long-press BTN1 + BTN2 for about 6 seconds'
2) Continue holding both for an additional 6 seconds
Q1: Do you see the 'Watchdog' 'Booting' instruction on the display?
Q2: Does the watch vibrate? -

From Post #1 'I factory reset my watch'
What steps were followed, better yet, would you point to the paragraph of instructions used to perform the 'factory' reset please.

That would be a yes to both of those questions. Still works a day or two later. Everything in the bootup and resetting process works perfectly fine up to the logo. To clarify, I am not only able to go to the logo screen, and cannot progress any further than that. I found this article with the same problem:
http://forum.espruino.com/conversations/345403/
But I figure that it might not be right for me since they got here from a different problem -

And I do apologize for putting "factory" in front of that. I am not sure why I did because I just tried all of the steps to reset it in anyway possible.

UPDATE: For some reason it decided to work now haha. I have reset it from the buttons using this method like 5 times before now:
http://www.espruino.com/Bangle.js#resetting-without-loading-any-code
But for some reason I did it, then tried it again as soon as it got to the logo, and now I am able to install the default apps on it. Don't know why it decided to work this time, but it did. Thank you for your help @Robin ! -

'I have reset it . . . . like 5 times before now:'
By chance were you facing East and clicked your heels simultaneously? ;-) (ref Wizard of OZ)
Those darned 'bits' that linger around. Glad it is now working for you.

Great! Glad you got it sorted! Sorry for the lack of replies - it was a Bank Holiday weekend here.
But yeah, the steps for resetting without loading code should have worked. On very early firmwares it was a bit more fiddly, but if you bought the watch any time in the last 6 months you shouldn't have to worry about that.
Hey guys, pretty big problem. Got my watch today, messed around with downloading some apps to it (just like 5 or 6 small ones, no memory-breaking downloads), and then downloaded a clock app to take the place of the default one. Once I chose it as the default clock in the settings, It only showed an error message on the bottom reading "LOW_MEMORY, MEMORY". I also realized that I could not access the menu by any means from the clock. I factory reset my watch (both with and without bootloader mode just incase), and now I only get a black screen right off of the logo disappearing.
What I know:
If for some reason it would be a problem with an app installed, the only two that I feel could have possibly caused the problem would be Gadgetbridge (which I don't believe would do this) and the clock I installed that supposedly doesn't work correctly on my watch, called Sliding Clock.
