Watchmaker Review - LG G Watch

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!

Moto 360 Faces Google Drive Folder

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.

[FACE] Retro LCD for Facer

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:
Downloads are at the usual spot here:

Hope you enjoy the new look!
is LG G watch 240x240? this is the only face i really want!

Wock - Wearable Lock
I'm really excited about Android Wear and I can't wait to get the Moto 360.
Instead of waiting I decided to develop this app which gives you the ability to remotely lock your handheld.
If you see someone is grabbing your phone you can stop them from (i.e.) browsing through your phone
gallery by using this app on your watch. Your handheld will lock and a PIN will be set. It is possible to enter your
own pin or you can choose to random generate one.
The generated PIN will be sent to your watch so you'll be the only person knowing the PIN.
Main features:
✔ Custom PINs
✔ Random PINs
✔ Ability to unlock device with watch
Yes. I named it Wock. Because... ehh. ehh. C-catchy?
Play Store: Apparently I can't link to my app since I just made this account. You should look it up yourself. "Wock".​
Nice app I installed and try it..
Thank you
Here is the link.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=reverb.com.wock
Nice idea thanks will test it out now.

No problem, let me know if it works.
Works pretty good so far, just a small lag until it generates a code otherwise everything seems good. Will have to test it more.
Is it possible to automatically lock the smarphone when connection is lost?
And unlock when BT connection is established?
Thanks a lot for this app!
works well but getting the pin code has some lag in it. rest all cool!

Hi
43MB is a lot for the app.
The sample screenshots are absolut great too look at.
And then, I've clicked on first image after Download: Great feeling! Good job guys.
Again I hate ads on the top. I will uninstall if it goes fullscreen. But if not, it is ok. Those ads will take all the good look of your app
But the keying of images and the photos are great. Also the idea to have image templates in cloud.
How is it about copyright if I make my compilations public?
And why I am not able to select images from my whole picture gallery?
Regards
I will leave it on my phone and rate it 5*

it will be alright if you do not use the images for the commercial purpose.
and if you want to choose images from you gallery, you use the middle button (next to the camera icon) when use open the app
Thanks very much for your rate,

[WatchFace] TrombT1 - a very nice watchface i made (FREE only here on XDA)

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.

[Noob] How to build a watch face displaying surfing conditions?

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_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"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!!
