Watch faces made with Gear Watch Designer - Samsung Gear S3

I decided to give it a go and try the Gear Watch Designer to make some watch faces. I started with my sports teams and then tried a couple premium faces. I'll probably create some more with the faces from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-360/themes-apps/watchmaker-500-watchfaces-monster-pack-t3276583
Only annoying thing is that I can't delete the stock faces on the watch - several of which I'll never use, and there's a limit of 15 faces you can add. Since I've made 8 faces so far, and downloaded a bunch more, I'm out of space! Guess I like to fiddle too much...
Anyway, feel free to post faces you've made. I'd like to get some ideas of what other guys have come up with...

I've done a few from that thread - but only the non-chronograph versions (There is no Chrono function in Samsung Gear) - I find it easier to use the default AOD. If someone root's the Gear S3 then you'll be able to delete the stock dials

Gotcha. I've rooted lots of phones, but this is my first smartwatch, and my first adventure into Tizen. Would the non-carrier (WiFi) versions be easier/done first? (Seems like Verizon always makes it harder!)
I'm guessing we'll need to root to see the .gwd files on the stock faces too? I'm able to link to the Timer app or the stopwatch app for my chronograph faces, but I'd like to have it switch to something like the Chronograph+ stock face. I just like the look of the chronograph face watches better.

Here's a few more I threw together last night...

Hey how can I get that to work on my gear s3? I installed the zip file to the SD card

You need to get Gear Watch Designer on a PC.
http://developer.samsung.com/gear/design/watch-designer
There are tutorials on how to use it. The files in that zip are components that can be added to make a face. Then you need to install it to the watch from the PC, by disconnecting the Bluetooth connection to your phone, and connecting via WiFi to the same network as the PC with the face file.
I recommend downloading some faces (.gwd files) from the Watchland app on your phone. Send them to your PC, and open them in Gear Watch Designer. Use them as a template to see how to put faces together. (And/or swap in you own components).

Pretty much the same. The second hand disappears, and it dims a little bit, but otherwise the same.

Simple. It would take like two seconds. Gear Watch Designer lets you adjust the color, or if you had a picture of a hand, you could easily swap it in.

PM'd. Note, the left dial is the battery, the right is % of step goal, and tapping them links to respective app. The bottom doesn't move, but links to the timer app. Link to stopwatch not yet supported to my knowledge.
Obviously, edit as you please.

No worries, I'm thinking you meant needle, but it's the second hand.
Just start clicking through the components on the bottom left in Gear Watch Designer until you highlight the second hand. Delete it. Then click, "Watch Hand" on the left, and pick a new one, or import the image of a new one. Edit properties - size, placement, etc. on the right. Done...

thanks so much for these however when selecting the faces on the watch it's not showing a preview of the face, only a plain circle of a watch , it still works but cant see what is what. when selecing a face. I myself had this problem as well and it will show the same in the emulator select settings and go to change the watch face and it will show what I mean I never fixed my problem yet why the image isn't showing.

I just downloaded this one, the config.xml points to <icon src="icon.png"/> & the icon is stock. So, you will see the icon.png attached below instead of a custom icon image.
Did you upload a custom icon to yours? If so, you should see something like this in the config.xml...

Because the rolex watch does not contain a custom icon. He would have to make a custom icon and add it in the config.xml (if that is what he chose to do)

Analog Digital
Here is my basic analog digital that I posted in the other thread so we can get them all in one place.
If you post one its good if you add an image. Its easy to get an screen capture using the emulator in the SDK.
To start an emulator you select the button on the left in the connection explorer window. Then create a new one if you dont have one in the pop up. Name it and select all the defaults for now. Once it is created hit the button that looks like the play button. Now you can test your apps with out your phone. Select the emulator in the connection explorer and then right click on your project name and select run as. Then in the emulator you can right click on the clock and save screen shot.

Change the OEM watch face?

So ive tried out the Watch styler app to change the watch face on my Gear 2 and to be honest wasnt to thrilled with the options that were available to make your own custom watch face. The ones for download arent to bad just looking for something of my own.
Has anyone had any luck with any other Watch Styler type apps? Either that or i would be happy with changing the color of the digital clock and say the weather widget that comes with the watch. The white is just rather boring.
Just looking for some tips here and hopefully give some others some more options!
Thanks guys

I've always favored Multi-Watch over the rest of the watch face customization apps. The ability to use any graphic for your background or using any wstheme watchface as a base to tweak your own is very powerful to me. Add on the ability to have a 3x3 launcher for watch apps when you swipe up makes it essential to me.

I actually stumbled upon that a few hours after i made that post so i greatly appreciate it! I just found that the watch face i picked really drained my battery today! I went from 5AM till about 4:30 PM and it died completely! Not sure if its the face or just multi-watch. Im going to charge it up and try another face. Maybe it was just that. Figured id give it a go before i put a ton of effort into customizing one. Just rather stinks that I had to pay for the app first to try it. But oh well. Its just a few dollars and it supports the DEV.
Thanks for your suggestion. Any feedback from your battery useage?

I normally don't use the premade wstheme watchfaces anymore, but I do remember certain ones eating my battery faster than the rest. What I do now is just take a graphic I like and make a clock face out of it, then customize the watch hands and other text.
I just customize the watch faces to my liking and use it via Multi-watch. Just waiting for the app to support weather and calendar as well.
Mutli-Watch app battery use is very low .. much efficient than Watch Styler.

This is just a watch face . You can't edit many things on it and it is not any app running in the background. This way it saves more battery. And I'm using the real apple watch icons. Can you use them on bubble cloud?

bubble cloud supports icon sets so you could choose to use apple's icons if you could find the icon set. Anyhow, do the icons resize themselves based on usage or are they static?

I know I'm replying to a 5 year old post but I just figured out how to change the widgets on the stock watch faces directly on the phone, without an app and am I sharing it in case anyone lands here from a search.
1) press on the watchface until the watchface switcher appears.
2) swipe to the face you want to edit and tap customize.
3) swipe left or right until the widget you want to change is highlighted, turn the bexel to change the widget, on the Gear Dashboard watchface there are many options available including weather and date.

Who makes Custom watch faces??

Hi guys,
So I've just recently got a gear s3 for Christmas and wondered if anybody makes custom watch faces? I tried but can't do it lol, I need a lot of training in using the program and a lot of patience!
I have a few ideas in mind and a couple of images of like incorperated into them if possible but I a different colour,
I'd like it to be very similar to the picture attached using the logo attached to replace the one in the picture, i would also like the dials and accessories to compliment it in either a silver of something other than Good, also is it possible to make it a precisionist type watch face?
Any help or guidance would be very much appreciated
P.s it won't let me upload images so I would be able to email them to whoever would be able to help me
Many thanks in advance

Look in the play store and download watchmaker app. Then join the group on Google plus. Someone there would probably make a face for you.

I just got the watch a week before Christmas and I am finding it hard to find a perfect watchface also. I know with apps such as Facer and WatchMaker you can create your own watch so it might come to that. I went through so many pages of watches and I am so indecisive its ridiculous haha. Most of the watch faces show alot of S-Health info which I dont care about, especially the completely inaccurate step counter.
This is pretty much what I am looking for...
-Shiny Silver in color (preferably)
-Analog Clock with Roman Numeral numbers (White numbers with silver outside, only want this to be shown in AOD and nicely dimmed)
-Small digital clock on the bottom center
-Weather info somewhere on home-screen (top center, when pressed takes to weather app)
-Watch and Phone battery percentage info somewhere on home-screen (maybe right and left center?)
