Just received the gear fit 2 software update. Did you guys notice any difference?
FW: BPG3
There's an outdoor mode, may have been there before (didn't notice it).
I didn't read the changelog that popped up. I know they're supposed to push an update that puts in a tweaked Stairs algorithm. Not sure if this one has it or not.
I'll test it at the gym shortly and see if they addressed the calorie counting at all. I doubt they did. Will post back.
*Edit* Just tested some stairs and it's exactly the same. Walking up (and down) with normal gate for multiple trials resulted in it recording approximately 40% (5 trials up, 2 flights recorded). Same as when I tested the last firmware. And if you run stairs, good luck getting any, unless it's a really long stairway.
*Edit2* Calorie counting during exercise still doesn't work correctly.
I'm hoping this FW release was just to fix the inability for a lot of users to not update their Health Apps. Maybe a new version of those will be forthcoming and fix some of these issues.
Just have the Fit 2 for 2 days but stairs count do not works I have also a Fitbit One in the pocket and all stairs are counted right with my Fitbit but Gear Fit 2 never counted one stair in 2 days I know I have only 16 steps
I think this patch was just to fix the S Health Update...once updated, the App Store didnt register any more updates needed for the Gear Fit2.
As for the stair count, I always thought it was for climbing stairs, and doesn't work for going down stairs....lol, I could be wrong

Yes, i just noticed that there's is an outdoor mode in the display settings now which is nice. Although i dont climb much stairs but i climbed 4 floors 2 times and both time it recorded it correctly however it doesn't record climbing down. I think the screen scrolls a bit faster now.
Has anyone else had issues with the hidden weather app? I use the stock clock with the weather attribute at the bottom. Even a little while before the update, no information is displayed on the bottom of the watch face. Upon clicking on it, it opens the weather app. It's blank, and only displays the "add current location" button. My location is already ON anyway, but when I click this button it opens the screen asking to accept the terms of the location permission regardless. Then it hangs at "fetching current location", and will stay this way for hours without change. I can back out and continue to use the gear fit2, but when trying to view the weather again the same screen remains.
The samsung weather app is installed, I have an S7 Edge (AT&T SM-G935A) and it's set to auto update every 6 hours. Not sure what I'm doing wrong here.

No issue with the weather app. I select automatic location (GPS) in face parameter in Gear manager.
Odd. For some reason mine will not leave this screen after I try to open it (see image):

On the many faces wich provide an icon to launch the weather app.
You have also the standard integrated Fit face with a complication at bottom. User can choose : weather, steps, event......
Thanks I am thinking this might be a regional thing....=(
I have looked my FIT2, and if I try to add an additional widget, I can only add...CAFFEINE/TOGETHER/WATER...
On my GEAR App, if I select the APPS LAYOUT, there is no WEATHER

It's just a hidden widget, that cannot be used directly.
You can only use watchfaces that open this widget.
The same thing is the hidden daily schedule.

Of course, this watchface has only a link to both internal, hidden widgets. The same as my 'Fit Chonrograph'.
a) The update crashed the quite well working floor counter on my GF2. Now I´m doing some hundered floors per day.
b) The BT reconnect to my Galaxy S6 is not working so seamlessly as before.
Please fix it again Samsung!

This is an Android Wear Watch Face and Wearable App with the ability to scroll custom text along the top of the wearable and add images from phone to background of watch face. Using the mobile version of the app you can quickly change the color of the background and text of both the watch face and wearable app within seconds. You can also add your own images as your watch wallpaper. New functionality will be added in the future to change other elements of the display. Change colors with ease. Match your outfit or mood!
WAIT! That's not all. Use mobile app or wearable to select custom news feeds to scroll a top the device. Keep up with weather, tweets, current events, sports with a quick glance. Speak updates to news feed via the wearable version of the app. This app will soon integrate with other applications in development.
* VOICE COMMANDS ON WEARABLE INCLUDE -
* SAY - 'SHOW TWEETS WITH HASHTAG ...' - TO GET LATEST TWEETS WITH REQUESTED HASHTAG
* SAY - 'NEWS ON ...' - TO GET LATEST NEWS FOR REQUESTED SUBJECT
* SAY - 'GET IMAGE OF ...' - TO GET RANDOM GOOGLE IMAGE OF SEARCH LOADED TO WATCHFACE
* SAY - 'SHARE SCREEN ...' - TO SEND SCREENSHOT OF WATCHFACE TO PHONE TO SHARE
* SAY - 'TWITTER MESSAGE ...' - TO SEND TWEET
Awesome app. Love it. I been slowly learning how to write apps and this is almost exactly what I wanted to try to do. Can you add the option to customize the dim screen? Make the lettering brighter?
I know a lot of people don't like hearing requests on here. This isn't a request. Just an idea for you to use if you want...
Sent from my LG-LS995 using XDA Free mobile app
Absolutely, request don't bother me. I've been working on making the phone ui bit better,but I'll see what I can do about the dim.
I would appreciate ahh help in getting the word out. Feedback on the playstore would help too. I'm glad you like the app. I hope you like the updates coming soon.
New update available now. Better ui. More features to come. Stay tuned
I seen this been tempted but I am worried about battery life. (Do not mind paying for it)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=deezel.com.newswatch&hl=en
The battery life is bad enough now, if this is always getting feeds? It may knock a lot of time off the already bad battery life.
Twitter, not a fan.
News get notifications from Appy Geek.
Weather Google is always pushing the weather cards.
How about more customization options on the text other that colour?
Funny thing, I working on an update to address most of those things. I don't think the news our Twitter feeds are good the watch face, but rather the app portion for quick access to news from the watch. The face dims so fast that the full headline never finishes scrolling anyway. I'll be rolling out an update within the next week that takes this in consideration, the new version has the ability to change the size of font. Thanks fit the feedback... keep it coming.
Another idea is to show whether or not the phone has service on the watchface. When I'm at work I don't get the best service and tend to lose it from time to time. I leave my phone on the break table quite a bit. It'd be nice to be able to look at the watch to see if service is back or not.

I just bought this because I think it has potential. After tweaking some stuff I lost my microphone icon on the watch. I don't know how to get it back. Cleared data and cache. Also I have signed into twitter but I can't get the twitter tab. Any suggestions?
Edit:
OK I am goofy, didn't notice you can start the app from the app drawer and the watch face from the watch face selector. But mic only shows when starting actual app.
The Mic feature is only available from starting tha app through the drawer. Basically it's 2 apps. 1 watchface and then an app. I'll be adding more functionality soon. Watchface apps don't allow you to override control of the tap the screen feature. Basically watchface it's limited as there are no options for button press. Thanks, feedback on the store would be awesome. Let me know if you have any thoughts about future versions.
After you launch the app is you swipe left a menu should appear to give you some voice commands options.

ok got it I had wear launcher set up for that swipe.
But after watch goes to sleep. It exited and goes back to the watch face.
You launch the app from watch. If you have mini launcher, which I recommend, just Swype right to open mini launcher, then find 1 watch and click it to launch it. From watch app, click mic and give voice command. You know you're in the watch app if you seed the Mic symbol. You can say things like... 'get image of'... and give your search and the app should loss the background image based on your search. The list of voice commands can be found from the watch app. The phone app is strictly for watchface customization. The watch app allows watchface customization from watch and some additional features like... get news or show tweets... etc
Also from watch app... Say share screen and your watchface will be sent to your phone to share online... tweet your screen lets see what it looks like.... anyway... have fun. If you need any help feel free to pm me or respond to thread. Share with friends please and thank you.
Well.. As I said yesterday, I did buy this app. I am going to keep up to date with it I guess. Hoping for further development though. I dont think it is complete enough to use as my daily driver but might soon.

There is a frustrating flaw in the this face.. if I go for a run early in the morning and play music the card on the watchface takes up the bottom third of the screen, covering up the time and battery stats.
The only way to get around that is to stop playing music and close the card
Is designing watch faces hard? Is this something I could slap together in and after noon?

It's probably not too difficult but you will still have the same problem. The watch APIs have not been officially released so right now the size of the notification card cannot be changed along with other things.

Is this definitely the case?
I find with the stock faces that the music card when dimmed shows just the name of the song whereas on some custom faces the dimmed card shows the artists name as well.
I've seen the same with Hangouts notifications too - stock faces show just who its from but the custom faces show the first couple of lines of text as well.
The only thought is that Android Wear by default shows the bigger cards and the stock faces have been modified with the still secret API to only show 1 line.

Thats what I meant to say. The custom faces the cards take up more space than some of the stock faces. When Google releases the new APIs then custom watch faces can control the size of the cards.

Krona Fusion Watchface
Weather updates, round and square layouts
I created a watch face, originally only with the Moto 360 in mind. I love my 360 and unlike others I'm a huge fan of the light refraction at the chamfer on the glass. This watch face has a halo ring that goes around the chamfer which looks really cool and doubles as a subtle battery status indicator.
Later I added a square layout for a friend and some other color schemes, weather updates ... and decided to push it to the Play Store. My main intention here is to find out about layout and performance issues on other devices (since I don't want to buy all the other watches out there). Any feedback is highly appreciated. Of cause you don't have to pay for the app but can download the APK directly.
DOWNLOAD
APK: KronaFusionWatchface_net.marscity.fusion.apk (totally free - updated to version 1.4)
Play Store: Krona Fusion Watchface (€0.79 / $0.99 - updated to version 2.0, official Watch Face API)
PERMISSIONS
For weather information provided by openweathermap.org the app requires:
• Coarse location, network-based (no GPS) for weather data [approximate location (network-based)]
• Full internet access for weather data request [full network access]
• Enable weather update service upon reboot [run at startup]
FEEDBACK
Here or in the Play Store please. Thanks!
UPDATES
1.4: better support for different screen sizes, layouts, and resolutions.

It's a Play Services (Wearable.API) Error. This is shown if the API is not connected and the phone/tablet cannot access the communication layer to the Android Wear service.
I attached a debug version. There will be a toast message popping up when you open the app. I should say: "onConnected:null". Can you tell me what it says in your case? What phone / Android version are you using?
Cheers and thanks a lot!

Usually that means that you do not have the Play Services installed - Xiaomi usually does not come with Play Services pre-installed.
Did you install Play Services manually and do you have the latest version that supports Android Wear communication?
This is really impressive, one of the best watchfaces I have seen, thank you very much.

Like a week after we finished the initial version, Google announced the new official Watch Face API ... and we started from scratch and rewrote the entire wearable App. I just pushed it to the Play Store and we are waiting for bug reports. Once everything is OK with the new API we will start working on features again. Prominent phone and watch battery indicators are on the list. ^^
On Sony Smartwatch 3 in ambient mode it doesn't look very well. Screenshot is OK:
but actually it looks like this:
- barely visible digital time, and just a single digit in the weather part. IMHO it should be near "#fff" to look well on this certain watch.
PS: screenshot and photo taken from the older version.

Thanks a lot for the picture. I attached the most recent version. Since we completely rewrote the part where the watch face is drawn (in interactive and in ambient mode) and implemented some ambient mode specific features, it may look quite different now. (maybe worse, hopefully much better?). Could you give it a try and tell us if there is any improvement? (requires Android Wear 5.0.1)
Thanks a lot

To be honest: I don't see any difference between anti-aliasing on and of on Smartwatch 3. Furthermore - changing alfa on mute mode gives me strange effects on bitmap backgrounds. Dunno if it's hardware related (?).

One of prominent items on my todo list. Unfortunately yesterday Sony published new SW2 firmware and companion app that broke down all the SDK 3.0 based widgets. Hundreds of apps on Google Play! Instead of doing something new, we keep replying to users' complaints, and waiting for Sony to tell us what happened.

Google gave devs time to rework their apps. Sony published (without any warning) software incompatible with their own API 3.0. And still no reply from them. One more reason to abandon SW2.
I've had my LG G Watch for about 2 weeks now. Have really enjoyed all the extended function from my phone. The only thing I wished I could do was customize/personalize the watch face.
Enter Watch Maker
This has several pre made watch faces to use, but the best part is the ability to make your own. After messing with the background or the different pre made modules, I found the "Expressions" to be the most full-filling. Being able to customize to the point of having current weather, forecasted weather, calendar events, battery levels (phone and/or watch), and numerous other information available to display on the watch face is great. Not only that, but can also select which components are on when screen is bright or dim. Super satisfied with spending 99 cents for this app! My watch is now, MY WATCH!:good:
yes! Watchmaker is totally worth it ! I have bought it too.
Can you share a picture of your watchface ?

Don't think you can screenshot your watch but you can grab a screenshot from your phone and post here or take a photo of your watch
I have bought Facer, WatchMaker and this program...

I have used the first two to easily load premade faces from this page...

and used Watch Faces to make my own as well as load from their pre made gallery.
The coolest is to take pictures of your kids with this program..

i was able to get a screenshot by "Sharing" my own watchface and emailing it to myself. i really like this watchface because i can have "Large Cards" on the screen and still see the time date and temp.
also have done tests. if set to not "Always On" and not "Tilt to Wake" (have to touch it to wake it) i get 2 days easy with this watch face.
here's the watchface template you can import.

What version of the Android Wear app are you using? Really weird that it's not showing on mine, you would think we have the same version.

This one, from the play store. Nothing special that I know of, although it does make me curious why they would be different. Note: mine also has view and report wearable bug reports also.

I found out the difference, my Nexus 5 was still on KitKat. Upgraded to Lollipop and now I have all those options.

Interesting and glad to hear that worked, although I was on KitKat as well. Happy ending with the mystery still unsolved I guess. Cheers
So far, Watchmaker has been "pretty good" in my opinion. I've quite frequently received errors stating that Android Wear has stopped responding. I only ever get that when using Watchmaker, and recently it's happened often enough that I started using Zooper with Wear Widgets. There's a similar interface to build your watch face but a bit more set up and it requires the purchase/installation of two separate apps and installation of a third (boo).
The upside... I've had NO errors with Zooper and Wear Widgets (you will likely need to restart phone and watch after install though, or you will have issues) AND the expressions seem more refined, with the calendar reflecting 12hr time correctly and next events for following days showing appropriately. Rich text boxes with expressions and carriage returns. Battery life is close to the same as with Watchmaker so it still is a bit of a drain, especially with all I've got going on on my watch face.
Drawbacks: It's just an image of the widget from your phone that updates every minute (or as often as you like, though anything other than a minute or less makes a clock almost worthless). Oh... and no watch battery indicator that I've been able to find, but I just swipe down to see that. The screen will dim but you don't appear to be able to tell it to only show certain elements.
Coal686's Gear Fit 2 Watch Face Thread
While perusing the watch faces in the Samsung store, I realized that all the ones I wanted were paid. I couldn't find a free face that included a link to the weather app and a link to music controls. So, following the XDA way, I decided to make my own and to share them for free with you all. Since it is easiest to install them from the Samsung store, I've created an account there and so that's where you can find them (once they get listed). Search there by the name of the watch face that you are looking for.
I'd love some feedback. Also, I do take requests, but I may not act on them. As most people here, I have real life commitments that take up a majority of my time.
This is my first attempt:
AnalogBlack: Approved in store

Nothing on Samsung yet. would love to try it.
Where did learn to make the faces. I've been looking for a short tutorial since I can program some and do graphic design.

Thanks, I look forward to you being able to try it. Certification is a little slower process than I thought it would be. It's in the certification process as "Under Device Test" so I'm guessing someone manually installs it on their Gear Fit 2 and makes sure it doesn't blow up the device or something.
As for how I learned, start by downloading the Gear Watch Designer program. I used Samsung's tutorial on how to use the program to get started. Then a lot of trial and error and reading up on their forum. Unfortunately, not a lot of information was found here or on the web for that matter (maybe too many people trying to keep things secret so they can charge money). If I find time, I'll try writing a tutorial or something.
I look forward to seeing some of your stuff!
My fav
Great job!
Wonderful to see people getting into dev mode.
Well, it took Samsung a week and a half to notice that THEIR asset has a XII in place of IV. My watchface got rejected for that one reason. So, I fixed their asset and reuploaded. As soon as it goes live, I'll let you all know.
Yeah! Watch face approved. Search in the Samsung Gear app under AnalogBlack.
Remember, if you have a request, please let me know and I'll see what I can do.
i am looking a watchface with barometer and altimeter, the only one in the store put too many elements on the screen and is very difficult to press an item without interference

I've not done one with those before, so I'll see what I can do. If you have an idea of how you want it to look, give me a sketch. Otherwise, I'll just make one up as I think it looks best.
recent installed your watchface. Well done Coal686
Very functional for me.
thanks for this job.
PD: If you dont mind, can you make the same watchface with digital time?
Thanks a lot
i'd like a digital watch with info for steps, Kcal, heart, weather and off course altimeter/barometer (with manual calibration option or if it is possible calibrated from GPS in auto mode )
if remain a little space also a battery indicator (it would be nice a simple row at the bottom)
i don't like very much material better a supertech way

Yours was easiest so I started with it. Wasn't sure if you wanted 12 hr or 24 hr time so I did one of each. Both are approved in the Samsung Store. Look for DigitalBlack24h or DigitalBlack12h. I'll post screenshots tomorrow.

Cool story bro.

another idea
the fit has a gps so it would be nice to be able to read some info about position on a watchface
is it possible?

I like all of your ideas, but I am limited by what the Gear Watch Designer program can do and by my own knowledge of how to use it. I especially like the idea of somehow incorporating GPS since I know the device does track that when you run. I'm wondering if some of the watch faces in the store use the Samsung SDK instead of the GWD program and that gives them more advanced functionality.
On a side note, I wanted to let you know that I'm sorry I haven't had time to work on your ideas. I'm in the process of upgrading parts in my laptop and desktop, so I haven't been able to work on watch faces recently.
Don't tell my boss, but I had been doing them here at work when he was out of office. :highfive: However, after I fix up my home gear, I'll be able to work on them at home and hopefully will be more productive on them.
no problem i also want to try GWD but my time after work is really very very low
and my knowledge of GWD also lower
i have seen an interesting sofware from neonto (it seems powerfull) but is only MAC
i'll wait for better days
