Just finished creating my first set of Facer watch faces, and thought I would offer them up for download. I plan to keep improving them, so stay tuned!
* NOTE: As of this posting, the only version that is available is for 320px by 320px devices. It was designed on the Gear Live, but plans are to create variants for 240px by 240px, and the round Moto 360/future devices.

step counter
Hi Scar,
I just noticed this morning (installed it last night) that the step counter display is fixed at 14995 (or something in that order) instead of the actual value of 38.
If you can export flat text of the code (or an idea of how to decode the binary), I can modify and test on my LG G Watch and get it back to you.
I'm not very familiar with Facer but I can give it a try.
Regards,
Rh.
nvm
I opened up Facer and edited the face myself. I did some small adjustments.
I raised the time, date, battery up and left 20 units each and removed the droid and the step counter. Those things are almost always covered by the google cards anyways.
Thank you very much for this watch face, it is definately my favourite.
I'm using a LG G Watch, btw.

Hey Ironman_stittsville,
Sorry I missed your message, but yea, the step counter inaccuracy is actually a known bug with Facer itself. The dev is great however, and while Facer still isn't at v1.0 yet, I imagine he'll get everything working soon enough.
Thanks for the kind feedback regarding my face though!
Hi all, quick note to let you know that I've updated the Retro LCD watch face (both normal and inverted) to remove the (buggy) step-counter, and instead replace with weather information, including icons.
Here's a shot of the new UI:

Hope you enjoy the new look!

I came across an outstanding watch face application called Watchmaker. The tool is easy to use and the support has been outstanding. Watchmaker is very addicting I started making a simple face and slowly kept on adding more refinement to my faces and now have 3 for various activities. Is anyone else using Watchmaker?

100% agree - I have had nothing but a good experience with WatchMaker and there are some awesome text / shader effects - you can see some of them in my designs below - you can download them from my link below and import them straight into WatchMaker!

Just wanted to share this video I made about how smooth the animation is in WatchMaker vs Facer :
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=04zN...ature=youtu.be
The whole thread is over at the link below, but I figured it was worth noting for people on LG Watch too …
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-360/themes-apps/facer-vs-watchmaker-t2918137
Great app but I'm having trouble selecting an image for a background. Every time I try to pick one or modify an existing one, the app crashes on me straight away. Anyone else with the same issue or know a way to fix it?
Really great app. Do you know where to get more .watch files?

There is a "WatchMaker" community on Google+ that is quite active. They post links to a lot of Watchmaker designs on there.
I just wanna understand if a dev is here so he can explane Why dose Propebly All the downloadable watch faces dose have the simple little digital always on face?
I have actually yet not downloaded or bought One single damn watch face wich has a watch other than the digital face!!! Even if i buy a Analog w face.
I use the Always on watch function, and love the look of the Analog watch types wich comes with the watch faces oem in the GS.
The standard digital face is too cheep looking and ugly in my opinion!!! :S
Is the any way to fix this? I even used watches from the Watch styles, and its the same :S
Another thing wich is irretating is that in GS store non of the devolopers dose show what the watch looks like in the "always on" mode.

This is the digital always face
And the analog always face on wich comes with the first oem watch face.
Another oem
Because it seem there are no API (in Tizen SDK) to made a watchface with a low power (or always on) mode
Developper can not build a watchface like the Samsung original
I would very much like to get feedback from Sammy or a dev! Its just to lame that they wouldn't put it in the sdk ?
Because Samsung is run by a bunch of retards who don't understand or care about their customers. This is such a massive and huge limitation. I'd kill for a Mickey Mouse always on watch face.
Although, knowing Samsung, they will get it right eventually after copying things from the first few iterations of the apple watch. Such a shame really, since the Gear S is so much more advanced.
Always On Support Added
Sorry to reserect an old tread but I seen this on another Always On thread on here

[Known issue]
* Mac OS Command + Q hotkey makes program exit without asking to save current job.
* The following features are not yet supported on Gear S :
1) Launch after install
2) Always on mode
3) Steps % source
4) Change language of Digitalclock component
5) Timezone, Calendar property
6) Connection over Bluetooth.

Does anyone know if anyone has updated any existing clocks to use the analogue always on feature or how to go about it?
We are Ken and Houtan, two developers building a personal trainer AI for wearables. Over the past year we've built out tech that can automatically recognize a user's exercises, like bench presses and squats, if they are wearing an Android Wear smart watch. We are launching the beta program for our app, YouMove, and are inviting members of the XDA community to join. We would love your comments and feedback on what we've done and would be thrilled to hear your suggestions on what we should do next!
Apply for the Beta!
We recently added the ability for the app to learn new user exercises, which we are really excited about!
Other features we are currently testing:
- Automatic, passive recognition of weight training, calisthenics and cardio exercises
- Tracking of exercises, reps, sets, resting times, calorie counts, and intensity
- Detailed display of a user's workout in a timeline on watch and phone
We know the XDA community can provide some great feedback on what we've made so far. Thanks everyone!

This looks really cool! I've been tracking my workouts using Google Sheets for a while now, but if this works, I could totally see it replacing that. I'll let you know more of my thoughts after I sign up for the beta and try it out a bit, but I was just wondering if there is a way to see your progress by exercise type in some place on the app. I've always roughly guessed how I've improved over time at, say, bench press, and I know that I can do it now if I really wanted to, but it'd be really cool to have it readily available on the app.
Looks interesting, may take it for a spin!
Where is the link for download? Also:
1. Will you be having only dark color for the app?
2. Does it support Android Wear independently without the need of the phone?
2.1. Does it support the internal GPS of Sony Smartwatch, for instance?

Current it is a closed beta, so once you apply we will send an email with a link.
1. We are switching to a lighter color UI on the phone. Sticking to a dark color on watch to conserve battery life.
2. Yes, it works on the watch independently of the phone.
3. At this point it doesn't support GPS. Right now we are primarily focused on weight training and calisthenics. But when we do hit cardio, we'll make sure to use GPS on the watch.
I'm interested in trying this out. How's progress on the app?
Link not working
I would love to participate but the link is not working
I would like to apply for the beta but the link is not working.
I mostly go sporting/gym 3 times a week.
Can i get a beta because i was searching for this kinda app ?
Thanks !
Hi guys, recently i had some time to learn some Java, and since there was not any watchface i liked in particular i decided to make one by myself.
SCREENSHOTS BELOW
APK ATTACHED TO POST, SEE BOTTOM
My objective was to make a watchface as realistic as possible, and i achieved this with reflections based on hand movement, realistic minutes and seconds hands that smoothly move following force law and high res textures.
Even if it looks an heavy computing app it is butter smooth in my G Watch R and cpu isn't much stressed.
It is the closest to real smartwatch i've seen.
I'm giving this to you hoping you all like it, if you want you can help me keeping up with this just by downloading and rating the free app, which is the same as the paid one except for advanced effects like reflections and force based hands movement:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=wear.trombettonj.trombt1steelfree
And here is the paid app, with the lowest possible price i could set in play store:

Never mind. I have located a bunch of watch faces online. But what I meant by "realistic looking date" is the small glass bubble located on real watches to magnify the date number (like on a Rolex or a Panerai). Thanks anyway.
Thanks for giving the XDA community exclusive free access. Its pretty cool of you
Also, this is completely unrelated to the topic... But could you make a digital watchface? That would be awesome! I can't find any digital watchface that I like.
Hi XDA,
New member with low-level coding ability looking for some advice.
I've just bought the Stratos and amazed with its features, and also the quite poor app market for it. I'm a big windsurfer/surfer and looking to customise the watch for these activities.
Questions 1:
Is there any ETA on adding a new sport to the watch? SUP/Windsurfing/Surfing? Its basically just the Ski setting without vertical.
Question 2:
I've read up on how to create a custom watch face. How do I have this watch face display data from a website/API? I'd like to display data from magic seaweed/windguru on the watch face ideally to create something similar to the Surfline app:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
How is this possible? Or is it possible to install Android Wear apps onto the Stratos (meaning I could use the Surfline face)?
Thanks!
To start with, you have to get these data somehow. I suppose there are sites displaying those characteristics based on the location? If this is true you could make a widget displaying these features pulling the data from your phone's internet connection.
Take a look at Quinny's Train schedule widget...

Did you ever get anywhere with this? It is so much harder than I thought to find a tide app for an Android or Tizen watch!!
