This seems like a really basic requirement. Why doesn't the watch light up when you receive an e-mail etc? Might be wrong but I thought the BIp did.
I may be wrong but.
I think my watchdroid set up does that for me. I have it set (I forget the watchdroid setting) so that watchdroid actives when the watch does. So when I get a notification and I look at the watch, I see watchdroid formatted message and I am pretty sure the backlight is on (I say this with a tiny bit of hesitation since most of the time I get notifications I am outside or in a very bright office)
huge disappointment, Bip have it and Stratos 2 don´t. This is very very important function for notification...

It's really unacceptable how all those lovely watch designs in the store have the same ugly digital always-on face. Only the first 3 built in watch faces have a corresponding analog always-on watch face. I find this to be a huge limitation of the device and has kept me only using those 3 watch faces.

I'm wondering if this is a limitation to the developer from Samsung in order to make us use those three only or if it's possible to somehow code them in order to have a "quick glance" version of those third party watch faces Anyone?
Oh yes a HUGE limitation and UNACCEPTABLE!!! <sarcasm intended>
Are you serious? Do you have even the slightest understanding of the amazing technology being used in this device, or it's incredible capabilities? And you are stressing over something so incredibly trivial.
Staggering!

Might be trivial to you. The always-on watch face is huge to me. Being a d*ck about it doesn't change anything.
And its unacceptable, because its already implemented and therefore its not a hardware limitation. Samsung are just being retarded in dealing with their watch face developers.

@ozaghloul has a point... Samsung has been "lacking" with the watch face devs, I dont believe they have released the watch face sdk and I dont know if they ever will. The always on feature tends to be useful, I know my watch hasnt always responded to the on "motion" at times.

In fact I find that switching off the motion and using the always-on screen actually saves a bit of battery. Also the always-on screen just looks so good especially at night. Not to mention how much quicker it is to glance at the watch and not have to wait for the motion to wake it up (sometimes unsuccessfully).
All that talk is about the nice analog always on screens of the first 3 faces (also number 6 has a nice analog). Its not about that Fugly nasty tiny little digital clock you get with all the other faces.
It should be fixed already long time ago! I'm not going to buy any watchface until they won't have different "Clock Always On" option.
Just wanna say that i agree that there should be more faces for always on..i use always on and no motion

I totally agree with this. I honestly thought owing a Gear S with my Note 4 would be a much better experience. In reality it's not all it's cracked up to be. Even more so since Watchstyler has stopped working...Lame.
I don't understand how the developers are just accepting this. This directly affects their revenues too, because I am certain many more people will buy watch faces if they become fully functional.

Totally agree with you! I've been patient but now it's just pathetic... Device these days is nothing without proper software and proper updates to its software... I would totally buy some new watchfaces but it's missing it's point without new "Always ON watch face".
There are some really great 3rd party watchfaces but they are missing this crucial factor!
And still, the other thing is that. There should be an option to deactivate "touch to wake" when "Clock Always" is ON. Now, when taking the shower it's going CraaaaAzy! And the same while running with a long sleeve (moisture inside of the sleeve)
1. Hopefully the new sdk wich come days agoo fix this?!
2. Why dont any devps respond?
Hi,
There is only one watch face which has an option to Turn on "Always On". Its name is "Desk Clock". Its free
It is not a "real" Samsung mode Always ON. If we select Always ON on Gear setting we have the classic digital clock and not this. It is just a clock wich avoid the dim mode and force the Gear to not sleep.
Hello everyone, I did the following, there is only one thing you must get used to and you can have your favourite watch face available with the wake-up gesture on, here is what I did in the gear s "settings--> display--> wake-up screen--> select "Last screen". The only down side to this is you must remember to hit the home button to your home screen before going into sleep. When the screen is off and you glance the watch face will appear and not the digital clock from the other non samsung default watch faces.
Remember by doing so more battery will be used unless you select a similar watch face as the digital one. It will show for the same 10 seconds as the digital face.
A bonus to this is that you do not have to tap the screen to wake from the digital clock, you go directly to the home screen, that is one less tap per glance.
Do not forget to hit the home button, you will get used to that or swipe down till you get the home screen.
Enjoy!!!
Whilst I do sympathise with the OP (and if it is a big deal for him then that's for good reason) I do think this watch looks amazing with some of the clocks that are available in the store and to not show them off when you flick your wrist is a bit of a waste really. Also there are a couple of clock faces on the Samsung Store that you can enable always on, they seem to work OK.
I keep the brightness and volume down a bit and limit the notifications to essentials and the battery easily lasts 1-2 days. But I love to see a proper clock face when I look at the watch so for me this isn't a huge issue.
Great

U r brilliant really, great idea and it never came to my mind
Man, coming up on a year... still stuck with the same crappy digital "Always On" watch faces. Anyway around this with root? I just want one of the stock analog "always on" black and white faces with a different watch face from galaxy store.
The crazy acting during shower can be fixed if you turn on not disturb mode
Idont get why there is still No fix for the always on watch Faces!!!
I even tested the always Screen on app , it works but battery last about 6-7 Hours. thow its Cool to have any face You like always Oh

I've been searching, found nothing.
Is there any app or built - in function that makes the Gear S vibrate a different pattern depending on whom calls or sends a text to me?
I can do it for the phone, but the settings there don't seem to go to the Gear S.
When in a meeting, I don't want to have to look at my watch to tell if it is important. Apple is making a big deal about customized vibrations, and i agree it's important.

lol...not being sarcastic, I swear. But it doesn't get much more subtle than just glancing at ur watch....
I have a note edge and its always either in a lower cargo pocket or interior suit pocket and not having to lug that big thing out is a god send, just a quick glance+swipe and thats it, hell its on silent most of the time and i have the vibration on the watch set to the lower setting.
Since updating to Oreo, every so often (maybe once and hour) a notification sound goes off for apparently no reason. I have notification reminders off so it's not that. I've turned off most notifications as well, except for important ones like sms or email. It's annoying and if sounds are off and vibrate turned on it will vibrate instead but still nothing on the status bar. Does anyone know what's going on and/or how I can solve this annoyance?
Yes Im experiencing this as well. It seems like it may be related to gmail but I'm not sure. The new notification settings are confusing and don't seem to work at least for that app.
I may have found the reason. The new power saving "feature" may be the culprit. It seems to sound an alert every time it sleeps an app not whitelisted. Probably one of the stupidest pieces of coding ever. I caught a notification in the bar of like an ekg line when it happened. But get this it immediately disappears. So if you dont catch it you have now idea why you're being alerted. Go in to maintenance and switch all off or whatever you think is appropriate and it should stop. However the random vibration alerts I can't figure out. Ill get them for apps I dont have them set for but sporadically like instagram. And then on next sms which I have it specifically set notvto vibrate. Hope this helps.

I think I may have a clue: I have a Gear Fit. My Note 8 vibrates when it sends an alert to my Gear Fit.
In my case, because I can hardly notice the notification vibration on my Gear Fit, but hear it clearly when my Note 8 is resting on a hard surface, it took me a while to make the connection.
Now to find a way to disable this behavior....
My S8 sends me a text notification EVERY morning at 3:49 AM!!!! There is never a text message. I have turned off everything that I can but it still keeps happening! HELP

theres an app called "notification history" that will track it for you. Might be the charger full indication.
Check my previous threads.
i recently update to pie in my note 8 and get typical beep sound while talk in phone and to stop i have restart the phone can any face the same and how stop it please help
Hi guys,
When I'm in bed I use the DND (do not disturb) function from my phone and my Stratos.
But Watch Droid still pushes notifications through with vibration.
The only way to stop that is to manually toggle the "vibration when silent" option in Watch Droid settings on the phone. But then it stays silent (even when DND is over) untill I toggle it again.
My phone is always on vibration function (sound always muted) because of my job...
Can someone help me?
Use airplane mode on the watch along with dnd

Can't do that. I need to be reachable for my "favorites": Alarm service, my mother (sick husband) etc etc.
With DND the favorites will go through on the phone.
WD does not "respect" watch's status - try using Amazmod for that configuration
I never realised that WD doesn't have a dnd hours option, because I've always used airplane at night instead of dnd, to save some battery life. It's so strange they've missed such a basic feature.
Only issue with amazmod is it doesn't allow responding to older notifications. Once that functionality comes in, it'll be fantastic

So Amazmod is the better solution here?
Just bought WD
Have to test Amazmod further I guess...

Depends if you need the ability to reply to notifications after they've gone off the screen.

Nope... There for I will get my phone. Don't care about reply through the watch....
So far I'm really digging my 7T but there is one feature I miss from my Pixel 2XL, the always on display. I know it has Ambient display feature but it's no good if you are away from the phone. I think its kind of silly having to constantly tap the phone to see if you missed something. Is there an app, or for you insiders, a software update coming that will leave an icon for a text ,email or missed call?
Thanks
Rich

You could use Plus Beat (no root), it's working nicely invoking periodically the ambient display to show the unread notifications.
Battery drain is only about 2% per day.
It's free.
The only limitations are that it's not able to show the missed call notifications and the "Ok Google" command no longer works.
Needs some accurate configurations.

Great thanks!. At least I could use it until One Plus catches up with a fix.
Thanks!
