Looking for watch face with above (ambient mode ok for everything but date and time). Complications desired
time to stopwatch
next meeting to day agenda
temperature to forecast
Date to whatever?
stock price to stock(s) summary
Of course battery % of watch and phone would be nice also.
Any takers. I can come close (especially with Android wear) but not with tiezen

Hello, what factors influent watch face power consumption?
I am aware about AMOLED pixels issue. What about app. functionality?
For example: stock chronograph face is touch enabled - when touched is switches on the chronograph.
The same about faces with widgets on them.
Does app. functionality increase power consumption?
Do disabled widgets consume power?
I presume that functionality power consumption is minor regarding pixels value.
Of course, I presume that stock faces are well debugged and power savvy.
Am I correct?
Thanks!
Until a couple of days ago I had a daily battery consumption of about 20% a day (couple of calls, some email, 5/6 Whatsapp notifications, no AOD), which means a battery duration of almost 5 days. I used a pretty simple watchface (called "Submariner") with seconds hand and date.
Two days ago I switched to the Samsung Outdoor Watchface (free on the market) dark version, showing steps, day of the week and month, barometer weather and battery percentage all at the same time; I made a short trip for work (about 350Km) where I got some weather update notification and some mail; at 15:00 the batter was almost empty (i started at 5:00 AM with full charge) and the phone shut off. So with the new watchface the battery apparently last half a day. Watch was connected BT with the phone, no GPS, no audio, n AOD.
I will make another attempt in the weekend but I suppose that choosing the right watchface could mean a lot.

Oh no doubt. Even light color faces use more and the more going on the more power it uses. It sounds like that new face has a lot going on. I've looked at that face and you maybe unsold it to me. ☺
Hi,
since yesterday i have a HW2. Usaly im a wearable user like miband, garmin, Fitbit...and brand new in the android wear universe.
- there are no "nightmode" ?? Do not disturb and shut down your Display between 10pm and 6am setup?
- there a no sleep tracking per default? I try sleep as android. But that lights the display all the night with "Sleeptracking" - and in the morning there are not data
- no altimeter, no barometer per default? (see it on the S3 frontier per default)
A lot of questions and not enough answers

On the clock screen pull down a little shortcut menu that contains airplane mode, sound, theater mode (turns the display black until you press the power button), do not disturb, settings.
There are no sleep tracking. There is though a app called "sleep as android" you can download as you mentioned.
Barometer and altimeter can be showed in some watch faces
Thanks. Today was the second night that sleep as android crashes after 4 minutes on my OP3
Yesterday i had to charge the HW2 2 times - that a but to much. Have to optimize that thing.
Today i try it at my desk. Sleep as android crash after 3-6 minutes on my handy. Dont no why. This log-logger from the faq dosent make a file. Very anoining.
Heart Rate sensor while a bike round. Im not sporty. If my wrist is wet....i get ~70Bpm. If i try that it shows me like i feel. 140Bpm and more. Go ahead and my wrist is wet again....plays start from the begining.
The first 10 Minuites are NOTHING...till the time i dry my wrist.
Today after 11 hours I had only 15% left of the watch. But it was down to 40% before I did a 20 min run with endomondo on the watch and listening to music with bluetooth headphones while running. I also hade a sim card in the watch and the display set to always on. So it was heavy usage. But I did not run for long time..
Air pressure/Barometersensor look not calibratet or whatever. Here we are at 1022hpa, whatch show 1009. Yesterday 1020hps - watch show 1009hpa
Hi,
I have several watch faces installed on my S3.
I prefer to have it always on but I see that this causes a serious battery drain, especially with the latest OS.
Assuming about the same usage mode every day (eg lifting the hand to check the time X times per day, the same number of notifications received (FB, whatsapp, emails...), the same amount of fiddling with the watch etc), AND the screen being turned on only by the hand lifting gesture.
Is there any accepted metric that measures how much battery the watch face should eat up per hour?
For example yesterday I used one of the faces and about 3 hours after full charge - I was down by about 10%.
Today I'm using a different face and it's down "only" by 4% (which seems great compared to previous days).
Most of the faces I use are rather dark, only the HHMM is (in some of them) in a bright color.
No fancy dials turning about on the watch face.
GPS is off, I don't use the watch for sports tracking expect steps/distance/floors.
For example, today I'm using the Digital Sport Red Automatic from AP Watches - Andrea Pascolo.
Thanks.
It's now 19:15 and my battery level has dropped 25% only (11 hours), after receiving many notifications and quite a lot of fiddling with the watch setting throughout the day.
This is with the Digital Sport Red Automatic from AP Watches - Andrea Pascolo.
So in my opinion this is a very good watch face regarding battery life (not to mention that in my opinion it's both beautiful and useful for my needs).
In the next days I'll check the other faces I've purchased, regarding battery usage.
By the way, I have location=ON.
Another update.
Using the same face today but with GPS=OFF and display always on.
Began usage at 06:30 with 100% battery and now at 20:00 have only 56% left. So it's average of ~3.3% battery per hour.
Again, received many notifications from various sources, fiddled with Watchmaker and installed the updated companion app,
I want to switch from my Moto 360 because when I use StayLit Wear to set the display to remain indefinitely on, the battery drains completely in three hours. I want a smartwatch with a display lit constantly (with automatic brightness, so it's bright enough to be visible in daylight and dim enough to not attract attention in darkly lit environments) that can still last me 24 hours, running the default watch face.
I use a Bluetooth headset connected to my phone to attend to calls all day long and I want the watch primarily to show me the time, alert me to calls and look good while doing it. I'll try to use the health stuff and the sleep tracking and the notifications, but they're not terribly important. Can I get that from the Samsung Gear S3 Frontier (with the latest battery draining update installed)?
Upon doing some Googling, I found that the watch face will dim after a specific timeout even with AOD enabled, and that I need to install either Flaunt or I Am Alive to get it to truly remain always on. So I guess my question is, with the display set to always on via either of these apps, can I expect it to last me a full day of use?
Yes the AOD dims but is still readable and depending on the watchface still quite bright. The watch has auto low light and auto outside modes to cover the extremes. With the wrist gestures, the watch brightens to your set brightness. I don't think you would be disappointed. The battery still gives me a full day 05.15 - 22.00 with 25-30% left with Tizen 3.0.0.2
Hi all, I'm looking for an alarm clock app for which I can set alarms that go off at a given time in a specified time zone, regardless of the current time zone I'm in, or in the case of Standard vs. Daylight zones, regardless of the currently active time zone. For example, if I set an alarm to 6:00 am Mountain Standard Time, it will go off at 7:00 am in Mountain Daylight Time, or 8:00 am in Eastern Standard Time.
I've looked into the Suntimes app on F-droid, and it's almost got what I need but not quite.
I could also work with an app that supported setting alarms on GMT.
------------
Background: I work as an over-the-road truck driver, and my work sometimes takes me across time zones, but I'd like to stay on my home time zone sleep/wake schedule. As a truck driver, I am required to have 10 hours of "sleeper berth" and/or "off duty" log time at the end of each day before I can start driving the next day, and changing time zones can really mess that up.More background: Also, I abhor these stupid, anachronistic time changes we suffer every spring and fall here in most of the USA, and since I can choose when I start my work day, I'd rather just ignore that change by having my alarm clock automatically adjust when it goes off to keep me getting up at the same mean time each day, regardless of what the clock says.
