Hallo to all
I'm tested today the possibility to use the weather API on GWD: great!!!
But when I tried to make a face I saw a great limitation: I cannot use heart rate, steps counter and so on... Very very bad!!!
If someone knows: it will be a limitation that in near future will be resolved with other GWD releases?
Thanks to all

It would be amazing if this was ever fixed. Other face widgets like Facer and WatchMaker implement weather, but the default app cannot do this correctly.

Im loving the gear watch designer - it is simple powerful and flexible. What it isnt yet is stable.
While the crashes are to be expected with it being a BETA, I have one issue that is just bizarre - I have designed several watch faces and they've run fine in gear watch designer (I cannot for get my gear S2 connected to designer for love nor money), but have been rejected in the store as their watchface background has been black and blank, even though hands and complications display. Has anyone else had this issue? how did you get around it? Most of my watch faces have been fine but it is incredibly frustrating....
I also got the same black background issue and it looks like it's related to a bug in GWD when I define actions to change the watchface background (several backgrounds in my watches). I noticed that if I update the default background (just reselect the image) before building the app, it fixes the problem. So I just take care to do this before building the final version to publish on the store and check on my S2 that the background is correctly displayed.
Hi guys!
We just released a Watch Face app that features a couple of Koi fish pushing gems around to show the time. The concept is simple: the two fish will take turn to push the Second gem every 5 seconds. There is no number (except from the date at the center), so you can tell the time by looking at the gems (and the lotus )!
Here is a 3-second preview video:

This is a Preview release of the app. At the moment, there is only one theme, and we're working on more. This version is completely free (it does not contain any In-App purchase product as of now). We might release a Pro version some time in the future. Just give us some feedback!

Your watchface is great, it s the only one I like as starwatch. If you add some feature like carp colour, digital or analog clock, phone and watch battery status , metro or something else I will buy it for sure.

@Axel85, thank you for your suggestion! We are working on other themes for the carp and background at the moment. We will try to find a way to add other elements such as battery status or notification count in a way that is subtle and able to maintain the minimalistic style of this watch face. If you have an idea on this, send me a message
I've just started designing watch faces for the Gear S2. I am using the latest version of Samsung's Gear Watch Designer on my macbook pro.
I have designed a pretty decent digital watch face that I am very happy with, which includes shortcuts/buttons/icons to my favorite appse. As of now, the buttons are not customizable from the watch.
That being said, I would prefer to make them customizable. Anyone have any tips?
I am not really a true "programmer", so maybe that's going to be my problem... but can this be done using Gear Watch Designer, or will it take actual coding?
Need a little more info: Are you only using the button choices that are available on the Button dropdown menu, i.e Properties>Action>Action Detail dropdown?
When you say customize the button, in what way are you trying to customize it?
I don't use my watch for everything. For example, navigation. Just alot easier to pull my phone out and look. Same with photos. Screens too small anyway. But I'd LOVE to see S-Health put up a real weight lifting or rowing widget! Something that will accurately count reps instead of just time your effort. Thats nothing! I can already time it! What I would use is a rep counter!
Or how about something like Google Reminders? Something where I can set a reminder separate from my calendar by voice from my watch. Pebble has a couple apps that do that! If Pebble can why can't my S2? I have S-Voice but, frankly, that doesn't do the job.
Anyone else have a wish list?
Maybe the next update will help. According to this thread it will add the following (translated from the Turkish; I don't know what "sauce desires" are either):
1. Running, Walking, Biking Repetition detection: Squat, Move, Shuttle, X-shaped bounce Speed ??coaching Running Snooze tutorial: Stay tuned up for 2 hours.
2. Upgraded Gear software Increased activity detection: Exercise bike, Rowing machine, Dynamic training Automatic pause and resume Improved rotating bezel interface Incoming call, Alarm, Scheduler and Program control
3. Added new messaging options Handwritten Text recognition (supports Korean, English, Chinese) Record and send voicemail Create picture message banner More emoji
4. optimized widget Lar Multi-user widget Weather widget Includes life index information Scoreboard and Mirrors widget Added 3rd party widget support
5. Added position-tracking feature for sauce desires
6. New preloaded clock from Gear S3
7. Support new applications: Reminder and Six-Barometer (Download from Galaxy Apps)
8. Support new game applications including Monster Vampire (Download from Galaxy Apps)

Well, like they say in Missouri - show me! Sobfar I'm 90% happy with the watch so this would be cool... IF repetitions are counted.
I just got an S2 yesterday after a couple years of Android Wear, and I think the biggest thing that I am still looking for is a watchface/app like Andoroid Wear's InstaWeather. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.byss.instaweather.watchface&hl=en
With Instaweather I was able to set what weather data I wanted to see on both the active and ambient screens. The best feature was the customizable weather forecast. I could give that up though if I could find a watchface that will show wind speed at a selected station in semi real time.
Are there watch faces that allow you to pinpoint a certain weather station and just show the data you select?
On Watchmaker on android I was able to create my own watch face that showed wind speed and temp from a selected weather station, but it appears that Watchmaker isn't yet available for Tizen, but may be coming soon.
Thanks
Use WatchMaker - https://plus.google.com/u/0/communities/106982503578105386202
Thanks! I didn't realize it was available for tizen yet, but it is!
Update- Looks like it takes sideloading the watch app while the review process takes place. I think I'll just wait until it is on the Samsung store, but I can get started on making my watchface at least
