No prior experience in electronics or coding is needed! The illustrated manual guides you through the build step by step, and with VibeBoy you start coding by simply describing your game in plain English.
Do I need to solder anything?
No! Orion Watch comes as a kit you assemble yourself, but everything clicks and screws together, and the screwdriver is in the box. Once it's built, charge it via USB-C, pair it with your phone, and start using it.
Does Orion Watch work with my phone?
Yes. Orion Watch connects over Bluetooth to iPhone directly and to Android through the CircuitMess companion app. You'll get notifications from all your apps, with dedicated icons for favorites like WhatsApp, iMessage, Gmail, Instagram, and Discord, plus music control and a camera remote.
Can I program Orion Watch?
