This is the current bin files that can be uploaded to the Watchy via OTA, either by using a tool or by using a firmware that supports OTA upgrades.
The above files are in two types:

Be sure to pick the right version for the version of your Watchy, as V3 uses an ESP32S3 which is not compatible on the ESP32, choose the right bin file!
Regular OTA:

If already using Watchy_GSR, you can use OTA Website and upload the bin to the Watchy from a local file using the Watchy Website at the IP address shown on the Watchy.
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Watchy Versions 1.0 to 2.0: GSR.ino.esp32.bin<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Watchy Version 3.0 ONLY:&nbsp;&nbsp; GSR.ino.esp32s3.bin


Merged Bin File for full upload:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Watchy Versions 1.0 to 2.0: GSR.ino.esp32.merged.bin<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Watchy Version 3.0 ONLY:&nbsp;&nbsp;GSR.ino.esp32s3.merged.bin


To use OTA bin files above:
1. With Watchy GSR, go to Options -> OTA Website.
2. Browse to the OTA Website, you can select to Upload Firmware.
3. Select the downloaded bin for your Watchy version.
4. Click Upload to upload the firmware.
5. Once the upload has finished all Watchy versions will automatically reboot when the upload is complete.

**For those who DO NOT WANT TO COMPILE:**

1. Download the Merged Bin file for your version.
2. Visit using a Chromium based browser [Adafruit ESPTool](<https://adafruit.github.io/Adafruit_WebSerial_ESPTool/> "Adafruit ESPTool")
3. Plug in your Watchy (if not already done).
4. **V3 Users, hold the top two buttons down for at least 4 seconds, then release the top left one.**
5. Click Connect and pick your Watchy and click Connect again.
6. You should see 4 "Choose a file..." buttons, press the first one, pick the Merged Bin you downloaded.
7. Once you've selected the file, the Program button will be present.
8. Click the Program button to upload the firmware.
9. Once the upload has finished all Watchy versions will automatically reboot when the upload is complete.
