Something like MS Office Wear watch face?
Thanks!
Look for "Calendar Analog" in the Gear store - just calendar events, not email. Only one I've found. There is a digital version by the same author, IRRC. Looks like attached. If you have multiple events the date and time info is suppressed and you just see events.
I wonder if Samsung plans to add the feature to allow complications on the watch faces much like Android Wear.

Zooper is new news to me - thanks for pointing it out - looks very interesting in general.
Example with WW+Zooper on Gear S

Nice - that's on a Gear S, right?
The only thing I haven't liked about Wearable Widgets that you can't see the widgets directly in the widget list (have to launch the app and then scroll to see widgets) but aside from that limitation, it's a pretty amazing app.
Yes, this app works on all Gear Model.
Gear 2 :
I use WW to see info that have not app in the Gear Store. Example to see lunar info because the Lunar Phase App for Gear is not available for the S2.
I've used WW w/a calendar widget I like...text is a little small, but readable and scrollable.

Wearable Widgets (beta) for Gear 2 is just out on the Samsung store. You can now use any mobile widget to show up on Gear 2 screen. The feature is really great and you can also control the widget from gear 2 like pass touch inputs to phone.
I have enabled zooper widget and use it to show time and weather and call tasker objects.
It is a bliss on Gear 2
Check it out.

Awesome
This is a GREAT app!
Awesome app! One of the most useful apps available. Thanks!
SUPER ! ..Can I just add one widget?
Awesome. I installed it immediately. Off course for Tasker. I use Launch-X widget in which i create the shortcuts. But i find it to slow, especially when the phone is off.
I also used it to display my tasks, so i could read and fill in the items into another task app. Of the first section it was perfect. But when the screen of the watch is off and turned on again, the widget is reset for the first items. Not to the last scrolled position.
You can add only one widget per device..
I use zooper to add only my functions as a single widget.. Calendar, time , date , battery life and tasker icons

I can not open the widget on my watch anymore. It is saying "Unable to connect. Do you have Wearable Widgets on your phone?"
Already rebooted my watch AND my phone. Still the same.

Uninstall then reinstall from Gear Manager.
Here's mine so far
Works great. Will you be able to add the ability to have more than one widget per device? It would be nice to be able to scroll through at least 4 or 5 of them. Thanks for the hard work.

If you read the first post, you'd know the dev of this app isn't the OP. To answer your question though, the dev left this on G+
"Clarification for Gear 1 & 2 owners: Currently, the Wearable Widgets app has two editions, both with a significant limitation:*
• The one available through Google Play (including this beta group) does not support Gear 1 & 2 devices.
• The one you can download through Samsung's app store (including via the Gear Manager app) only supports a single widget at a time.
The reasons for this are complicated, but are generally due to a number of restrictions that Samsung has put in place. We are working to develop a solution to both of these issues, and will release it as soon as we can - but for now, this is how things stand, I'm afraid.
Thank you for your understanding, and your patience."

Just change the setting for what is shown on wake to last app / screen.
That means I need to go to the wearable widgets app continually before I am 'done' doing whatever I'm doing
The developer has indicated they are working on the ability to make this a watch face. I am looking forward to that update.

This just rocked my world... I don't know why I didn't think of that. Duh. Thank you.
Thank You
That's great, Thank You.
As I've been using it - I actually don't mind having it not be the main watchface. What I've done instead is make it accessible from one of the 9 shortcuts from the Multi-Watch "swipe-up" launcher panel. That way I can still have the customizable watchfaces of multi-watch, but when I want I can launch an info panel widget that has time, date, watch battery level, currently connected wifi SSID, current weather w/ 5-day forecast AND my next 3 calendar appointments. Using a customized Zooper widget for this. I've made a request to Zooper to allow adding Google tasks list items and the phone's volume state to a widget.
Hey what's up guys. I saw today that android wear has a way to pay for your drinks at Starbucks with your watch. I was seeing if we have any good devs out here that can make this possible for our gear 2?
I can't find any app that I can use a widget with wearable Widgets so that's out of the question :c....
Anybody?
Edit: I've found a solution.
Open your Starbucks card in the Coffee Card app found in the play store. (has a little android holding a cup)
Screen shot the barcode, crop it to just show the barcode.
Then using wearable Widgets app for Gear 2, select picture frame widget and select your cropped bar code. Now you can scan that at the checkout :good: ?
Yes, someone figured out the screenshot the barcode trick quite a while ago, but I never tried using Wearable Widgets to show it. Seemed faster for me to just open the gallery app as I made the barcode the very first pic. Wearable Widgets always had a bit of lag to get to my widgets so I save that for other items.

Yes I see that they added some improvements recently. The problem is the more widgets you add for it to sync, the more lag and overhead is introduced. I'd rather reserve that for the dashboard widget I made and my home automation widgets. That way there's less taps/swipes to get to my starbucks code - as right now it takes me a swipe and 2 quick taps to show the code and with my Wearable Widgets setup, it would take me a swipe and 3 at the minimum.

I have mine set as a 3rd widget on my watch. I have the wearable Widgets clock face. So I have the cLock widget as my watch face, a calendar on the second and my code on the 3rd.
So I turn on the watch and tap it twice to get to mine.
I'm hoping the development can port over the feature he has for Android wear, where you just tap the side of the watch instead of touching the screen to change the widget.

Ah, I should investigate the watch face they have then. It's just so hard to give up Multi-Watch with its infinite customization and 3x3 launcher.

This thread is pretty old, but based on another thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/smartwatch/gear-s3/tried-starbucks-app-t3669596 this is still an issue for Samsung Gear/Galaxy watches. There is a starbucks app now for Samsung - see the thread above.
What concerns me is that it took 4 years for an app!?! I'm wondering how small the Samsung market share must be when major brands don't even bother release an app for Samsung. (Android + Apple have had this a long time).
Since Tizen is Linux based, maybe someone will add a compatibility layer to allow Wear apps to run on Tizen. They will be slower, but at least there will be useful apps
Is the Sony smartwatch 2 worth it at $85?
Yes. Next question.
Yes.
compared to what?
u8?
pebble?
AW watches?
the u8 is cheap but crap
-screen unreadable outside
-crappy companion app
-screen is off in standby
-only 4 boring watchfaces
-hardly any firmware development
-must have phone or audio connection to phone, can't connect otherwise
the pebble is nice
-has a lot of support, both in firmware and 3rd party apps
-good companion app
-long lasting battery
-lots of watchfaces
i just don't like the design of the pebble, nor do i like the e-ink screen
the AW watches look nice, but AW hasn't evolved enough yet
and those watches are quite a bit more expensive
is the sw2 worth it?
i say yes:
-screen always on
-very readable in direct sunlight
-3rd party apps and watchfaces
-even though it's not high-res, it has a nice color screen
-good notification support, including filtered content from facebook and twitter
-battery life is pretty decent, about 3 days
-doesn't look as cheap as the pebble or u8
only wishes i have for the sw2 are native whatsapp support and a selectable screen timeout
hope this helps
I decided to buy it! cheers for the replies! any recommendations of the best apps?

This doesn't allow you to clear phone notifications from your watch though, is that right?
Also, I don't think it has a watchface widget?

So that means you have to clear notifications once on the watch and then again on the phone....
Not that I have a better way to propose. Watchify should be, but unfortunately doesn't work reliably and the developer is AWOL.

I never bother to clear notifications on the watch. They are there as a heads-up, but want them to stay on the phone anyway for when I actually deal with them.

With watchify (when it works) I see the phone notification icons on my watchface, so I can be sure not to miss a text message for very long fir example, even if I happen to miss the watch vibrating.

How do you miss it, it's on your wrist! Anyway, lots of watch faces allow you to add notifications if that's your thing, glad you have one that suits you.

I don't have one that suits me, that's the problem, watchify is too unreliable.....
I'd be very happy if you can point me to alternatives but as far as I know they don't exist!
watchify doesn't have a content filter does it?
i only want Tweets from certain people on my watch
i have the Sony smart extension for Facebook, Twitter, Gmail, Sms and Call handling
for Hangouts this one
for Whatsapp an app that's no longer in the play store, still hoping for a native version by Sony
JJW has pretty nice collection of watchfaces as well
Use "Notify Smartwatch" instead. It has widget, font size control, clears phone notification when cleared on watch and content filtering!

I tried that before.
I think a smartwatch should show notification icons on the watchface, same as you see in the notification bar on your phone, whatever you're doing on the phone. So just the icons. Then I can see if there's anything I need to action or clear.
Notify Smartwatch just shows the latest notification in the widget, same as with Sony's widget. It doesn't show all the notification icons.

hi guys
thanks to walther first up for the whole sdb business, lucky enough to just click on the run on device button and then its on my watch
my issue is that i really like the weather app (i know lame)
but the issue is that there isnt a weather app option
then i noticed the schedule link is only to the calender but not to the agenda like appearance you can choose as a widget
wanting to know if anyone knows a work around for these type of things
namely, how would i push the weather detail to the text box
and/or the app id ( under action, action detail custom) for the calender widget
and thus how do i even find app ids
sorry it might be stupid but i got one arm (post OT) and bored and wanting to learn ...
thanks
I'm wondering about adding weather and calendar info to the watch screen with gear watch designer as well. I was thinking if you could create a dummy text box and then import the project into the full sdk it might be doable. Anyone know if this is possible?
I would like to create an action that leads me directly to settings > communication > bluetooth option like a shortcut from the watch face. It would be great if watch designer has some place to code small scripts like query data from apps and present the info as complications! Like get weather data from weather app or even query the web through Gear manager app to get data and present.
APP ID
Does anyone know´s what i have to wirte there for open an app like Task2s or another?

how does one find the app id for a non samsung app?
messing around with animations...
can anyone share how to add a condition for an animation?
for example i want a pinwheel sequence to rotate when there is a notification. the samsung tutorial tells you that it can be done but doesn't show the steps to set the condition. step 3 in Add Animations: "Smart components let you associate additional actions with objects. You can specify actions based on conditions."

I made a watchFace with a taskS2 shortcut. You just need to ask the app ID to the developper and enter it in GWD.
For TaskS2, (Thanks to tipztv) the App ID he give me is : IqiNB2jKne.TaskS2
Hi GUys

Your help would be greatly appreciated!!!!
Many thanks

I'd Love this Watch Face also, wondering if it'll be available for the S3 Frontier also, think it'd look great!
You can freely DL very similar watchface. Look for G-Watch by "italo sovena".
Only difference (unfortunately) is that weather dial is replaced with heart rate.
If you use Facer, there are a few versions of it available. I think this is the cleanest one.

And if you use Watchmaker search for Samsung Galaxy Watch Tomcat

Thanks, the native GWD version (G-Watch by Sovena) is *excellent*.
I have no problem with replacing the weather with heartrate, since weather on any watchface for the Gear has yet to be implemented properly by any developer that I've seen. I've tried over a dozen with weather, and every one of them results in 7-8% battery drain per hour, whereas all others without it only drain 1-2% per hour.
Not sure why, but there must be a common programming error in the API's themselves that causes it to try and refresh the weather and/or location continuously causing the huge battery drain.
Cheers
