How are you making the watch faces?

I love all the custom watch faces you guys are making and want to join in--what are you using to make these?

Using Multi-Watch, you can preload watchfaces from Gearfaces.com on the Gear and then use the hands and change the backgrounds if you want.

Thanks. That app must be crazy good, I haven't played with it yet but hope to contribute soon.
will it take custom images for the hands or do you have to use hands that have already been made on another watch theme?

Currently you can't use it to load your own hands other than creating a watchface with the hands first and then pushing it to the watch itself. Once you do that, though, you can use those hands as the basis of other watchfaces. Developer has mentioned that the saving/exporting of watchfaces customized in his app is on the roadmap.

Apps to Gear Neo
Hello All,
I am new to this forum so I apologize if this topic is already been discuss. I have been trying to change the face of my Gear Neo since morning with no luck. I read many post even installed the Tizen IDE but still can't figure it out.
I am sure I am doing something wrong for sure because it can't be this difficult. I downloaded Watch Styler but that didn't work. The funny part is when I installed the watch styler I don't even see the new theme option.
I can't find Multi-Watch on google store or on samsung store. Can someone please help.
I have Galaxy S-4 running on Kitkat 4.4.2.
On the side note I did rooted my phone and have to restore it with stock rom because the gear manager wasn't working with rooted version.
I will greatly appreciate any help.

Gear S2 Clock Face Request

I believe I've looked almost everywhere, and after a couple hours looking I give up and decided to ask:
On my GEAR S I have a clock face with the basics: Time in big bold numbers a the top, followed below in smaller fonts: Notifications count, Calendar (or agenda, whatever) count and weather.
It also has a short description of what's coming up for me: Next meeting (for instance: (Staff meeting 0800-1200))
I'm a Safety Manager (OSHA, on military installations) and that's all I need to get through the day. I just bought this S2 and LOVE IT, but I can't seem to locate a clock face that tells me everything I need at a glance.
Ideas?
Thanks, guys and gals. NICE WORK on what you do have available, and it looks like most of them are a lot of HARD WORK too!

Right now this is impossible to accomplish with the gear watch designer. Maybe in a future update, it can be done. But as for now, the options just aren't available without making a whole stand alone program to run on the phone so you can display weather and all the various notifications.

Thank you. A veritable Gold Mine of watch faces. With that being said I searched through all 11 pages and did not find a single watch face that displays the weather or notifications or otherwise on the home face.
Please believe me when I say I am not trying to be argumentative. I am just dying (figuratively) to learn how to incorporate these complications directly on the watch face instead of tapping to open the Weather or notification app. The complications in GWD are really limited.
P.s. For anyone else interested be sure to add the S on the address

You would use Gear Watch Designer to build the project from the downloaded gwd file then use GWD to push it to your phone.

It's Easy,
For those who have trouble - Follow this guide.

Mine only displays for a couple seconds too.
But, it still installs the face on the watch, it just doesn't set it as the current face. I just switch faces and it is there.

Thanks @JazonX it is working now. For some face is i am getting error 'pixel ratio of always on state is high' it is around 21% even if turn off AOM. How can i reduce it.

You can try going to the top right corner of GWD and select always on, high color, and then reduce the opacity of the background image.
OR, switch back to GWD 1.2.1 which doesn't have this restriction. Very annoying - many are asking on the Samsung forums to eliminate it in future releases.

I can understand why samsung is doing this as they don't want any watch faces released in the their store to negatively affect the battery life, but for tinkerers like us wanting to make 'banned' watchfaces...not great.
Instead..they should tag the tpk file created with ratio set too high..so when submitted..it gets auto rejected from Samsung side.

Come to Watchland: watchland.ca/console/gwd/
There are thousands of GWD files All neatly organized and easy to search through!

They have really low quality and resolution (S3 frontier). Most of them don't have functional icons etc.

There's a similar thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/gear-s3/themes/watch-gear-watch-designer-t3509588
This site has TONS https://www.watchfaces.be/resources/

Can downloaded watch faces be modified

Is there a web site that lists or shows all the Gear S3 Frontier watch faces and apps? Before I purchase, I would like to verify a couple of things. Sorry for the NEWB questions, but not a lot of online info for the G3.
- Looking for a digital watch face that has a shortcut to a TIMER app, preferably more than one.
- Is it possible to download a watchface and modify the widget on the face to open a "timer" application?
I referee high school football and need to time the play clock/timeouts/etc. Ideally, this would be some shorcuts on a watch face.
Thanks

You can make your own (or use others) with the Watchmaker app, however i'm finding that the steps, compass, and hr monitor dont seem to work on my S3.

Watchmaker Premium will allow you to create your own watch face, edit other watches and basically do just about anything you may need. Takes a little time to get the more complex scripting down but there is Watchmaker Wiki and other places to get tutorials. I've gone as far as to add Memu to my PC so I can edit watches from my PC before sending to the watch. There are plenty of watchfaces with timers already coded into them, you may find one you like without having to change anything.

The settings in Watchmaker lets you pick Celsius or fahrenheit. I didn't see anything for distances. How are you getting getting the info to the watch face? HereWeGo app? I'm sure there is a setting somewhere that can be changed. If not, a simple script will change what is displayed by converting from miles to km. Can you post the watch face you have and either I or someone here can look at it to get it working for you?

here it is....

Im going to go out on a limb here and guess the watch is pulling the data and displaying it from Shealth. Have you checked the settings in Shealth? Here's how: open the app on your phone. 3 little dots in upper right corner, tap settings. Under units change desired areas. If that doesnt do it, can you upload the whole watch file, not just the picture? That way I can load it into watchmaker and mess with it.

Wow, nice watch face. Unfortunately, that's a paid one and without the actual watch file, I don't know if I can edit it. Maybe someone on here can help out. The other thing you could do is contact the Seller, Michael Wickens at [email protected] and see if he can chage the code to display km. If he built it in Watchmaker then it will take him about 30 seconds to change it.
Wish I could have been more help.

That is a nice face. There is also a problem with "Weight". I believe that is tracking calories, not weight. The heading on the watch should be corrected.

Hi Olie426,
I just came across your posts and hope you can answer my question: Is there an easy edit to the Analog Utility watch face on the Galaxy Watch 3 so that it will look/act like the Analog Utility watch face on the Galaxy Watch?
I wish to replace the BPM complication on the GW3 version with the Calories Burned complication that is on the GW.

Question Galaxy Watch 4 doesn't pick up all steps on 3rd party watch face.

Hey guys,
I've recently received my Galaxy Watch 4 and noticed that when using 3rd party watch faces, such as Facer and Mr Time, the interface doesn't pick up all my step count. For instance, I'm currently at 6344 on the official Samsung Health app, but only at 2281 on the faced watch face.
I've made sure to look at all my settings, closed Galaxy Gear app, clear the cache didn't work. Factory reset the phone and the watch, didn't work...
Kinda lost, anybody stumbled into this issue or have an idea on a fix.
Thanks

I'd love to tell you I didn't but they couldn't help. Keep in mind it's not 1 watch face, it's all watch faces from 3rd party such as Facer and Mr Time

Seems to be the 3rd party watch faces responsibilities to work efficiently with Watch 4! Cheers

Simple question: does default Samsung watchface correctly show steps ?

Yes it does...

I'd love to tell that this way you answered yourself. As far as I know GW4 incorporates latest incarnation of Wear OS. This way not only watchfaces but many apps ( Wear OS ready ) does not work properly ( i.e. "Messages"). Even buit in Outlook deos not work for me.
IMHO: There is no other way then their creators make propper adjustments.

That's what I figured. It will probably work itself out in the future as the updates continue to Pop in, but I thought I'd take a chance in case someone uncovered something I didn't. Thanks for looking into it though

Hi my bro, for me Facer working great on my GW4 classic (latest update), no problem at all.

I do not use faces from Facer and Mr Time but I can tell you there are Wear face developers out there that have fully functional faces that work great on the GW4. I use several of Matteo Dini's faces:
play.google.com/store/apps/dev?id=7920922820385858766&hl=en_US&gl=US

Thanks guys. I might be a one off, or not, but steps aren't the same on stock app than on Facer watch face. No biggie. Thanks
