Can I turn off the digital watch screensaver?
When you have an app open, if it goes for a few seconds without you looking at it or interacting with the app, a digital watch screensaver goes over the app. Is there a way to turn this off? I use my watch for Google maps all the time and the...

Is there a way to turn off certain apps in the watch like the fitness crap? It keeps telling me how many steps and how many miles I biked. I don't want that how do I disable it?

You can disable the Auto Detect feature. On your Gear S3, tap the S Health and swipe or rotate the bezel all the way to the right to see Settings. Rotate to Workout Detection and turn off every single one of those items. Hope this helps.
Stupid question alert... So I have always on, screen time out 30 sec, auto low brightness on, wake up gesture on, gray scale on, and brightness at 2. I'm currently using watch maker's watch face for my own custom design. It has a second hand, but after a short period goes to ambient mode or whatever where the second hand stops moving.
Is there a way to set it to truly always on where the second hand is always moving? A couple of the stock watch faces do that I notice. In the custom watch face I have everything set to always. I'd search more, but don't know what lingo to use. Thanks for the help in advance.

That's all based on the watch face. Don't see that much 3rd party watch face use that but depends on the watch face

Oh ok. Ugh... Thanks
I've been using a Sony Smartwatch3 but have jumped to the S3 Frontier because of its better looks and battery life. However, much as I love the built in chrono/sports watchfaces there seems no way to set them up in an 'ambient mode' like the Sony. This is where you can get a stripped down, dark grey representation of the face so you don't need to keep twisting your wrist or drawing attention to yourself with a lit up screen.
Is this possible at all, or would I have to be download some third party watch face that will, I suspect, be nowhere near as attractive as the Samsung one?
Cheers
Hi.
If you use the "always on" mode for watchfaces, and turn off the activation by movement, you will have a greyed out version of the watch face at all times.
Is this what you are looking for?

I want it so that it's permanently greyed out (i.e. not backlit) so it's just about readable at all times and only comes on/lights up when I tap it.
Below is a Sony example.
the gear S3 has no backlight, it uses an OLED screen.
this means each individual subpixel is a light, and turning this off would make it black.
what ga123 suggested is the closest you can get.

You can use the very pretty "SamVictor" ...
Ga123 gave instructions that accomplish what you want. The always on display provides a simplified version of the watch face. If gestures is turned off, that will be shown until the screen is touched or the bezel is turned. That is the setup I run on my watch.

Pretty indeed but too simplistic for my needs.

Do you mean 'wake up gesture' in the 'Device' menu? If I turn that off the screen goes blank. Touching the screen doesn't do anything so I'm guessing there's some setting I've missed....

Use a stock watch face or make one with the gear watch designer, you will get AOD. Some custom face watches will blank the screen.

If the screen is black until you twist your wrist, you don't have the always on display enabled.* Goto settings, STYLE -> WATCH ALWAYS ON (the second option). Then every watch face will have two modes,* activated and ambient. The detail displayed depends on the designer's specifications.
Here's a picture of the watch face Boldindex12 with its ambient display and its activated display.
This op doesn't seem to be answered.
I was wondering the same thing and can't find an answer.
Atblangi posted pictures of what i want but it seems not capable of achieving in the means of the op.
Given my enquiry is the same, i will try to reword it.
I want a dim watch face that is always on; when i'm not looking directly at it. But a brighter face that is activated with a gesture (turn the wrist and look at the watch), or an action (press of button or turn of bezel).
I have seen faces that change with light intensity, but what i want (and the op), is a face that changes with a gesture.
Is this possible?
Use Watchmaker faces and you can set all you want for active or dim faces.
So, just started using the Frontier in the gym. Thought it'd be convenient to have the Stopwatch on my wrist. The problem is that when the stop watch is not active, the screen dims and upon waking, the app is in the background. Is there a way to keep that app up front? Otherwise, it's not that convenient. Might as well just use the stopwatch on the phone.

You can use always on feature
Is it possible to stop the continual 24/7 heartrate monitoring? I want the Watch 2 to only monitor HR when I'm doing a fitness activity or if I manually ask it to display my HR. This 24/7 monitoring is unnecessary and I find it especially annoying when I remove my watch, put it into Airplane & Do Not Disturb mode and the green LEDs on the rear still flash all the time.

Pretty sure you can configure it in options.

You have to go into the heart rate application and swipe to the right twice and there is a toggle for automatic measurement I'm not sure whether you will need to turn this back on to do fitness activities with your watch though

Tried that but it doesn't stop the 24/7 HR tracking.
You need to also go into the Google Play Services app in system apps and disable the sensor tracking from there. Google tracking everyone and everything again.

Afaik this is the watch trying to detect if you are still wearing it, and lock if you aren't... This is just a guess. If you are paranoid, go to permission settings and turn off ALL health related permissions.
