Hi
Every time I look at my Gear S it shows a digital clock with just basic numbers, if I press the button on the watch it then shows my chosen watch face...
How can I set it so every time I look at my watch it shows my chosen watch face?
Cheers
Lee
You can do this by selecting "last screen" in the display settings under "wake up screen" so if the clock is the last screen shown when the screen switches off, it will show up when you look at your watch.

Hi,
I am trying to port my Gear 2 watchfaces to Gear S. With some design issues, finally I have a working copy on my Gear S.
But unfortunately (!) , on Gear S, there is a clockface state. According to the design guide, it can either be;
- active state clock
or
- always-on state clock
As my Gear 2 watchfaces don't have this state, when the watch wakes up from blank screen, it shows a simple digital watch instead of my fancy watchface. I couldn't find any information on how to make my watchface always-on. (or creating a always-on state version of my watchface)
Where can I find this information ? Any ideas ?
thx.
Go to Settings>Display>Wake-Up Screen. Set to "Last Screen". This will wake the watch to whatever screen you were on last. If you make sure you always go to your home screen when you're done, the watch will always wake to that screen instead of the simple watch screen.
I'm using the watcher clock but when I lift my arm to check the time all I see is a plain black face with a digital readout and not the actual watcher style face. I haven't seen an option yet to just see the actual watcher face instead of a plain digital readout. Any ideas?
Go to Settings>Display>Wake-Up Screen. Set to "Last Screen" This will wake the watch to whatever screen you were on last, but the last viewed screen needs to be the watch screen.
Thanks!
When I use Endomondo and the screen on the Gear S becomes black or I move the arm to wake up the display, then it is not Endomondo on the watch screen, but the normal clock.
Is it possible to setup Endomondo to always be display on the watch's screen when I exercise ?
You can configure the watch to display the last app running instead of the current clock, but i don't think you can set a program to be default (didn't see any option regarding that).
For what you want you could try this :
1. change the setting : on the watch go to "Settings->Display->Wake-up Screen" and change it to "Last Screen" instead of "Clock".
2. start Endomondo (or whatever app you need) and when you want to see the app just move the watch (or press the button) and you'll see the app instead of the clock.
