Features:
Complications
Hide complications in ambient mode

Like the look of this watch face but I like a digital clock with date in ambient mode. Would you consider adding and option like that?

As the name suggests, I was not planning to add digital clock . I wanted to make this watch face as simple and lightweight as possible.
If I have time I will create another digital watch face.
But I will for sure add option to hide specific complications in ambient mode. Because I also want to have a date in ambient mode .

I hear ya, I personally just like digital for ambient and analog for the normal but there isn't many watch faces that I've found with that option

I like nice clean watch faces, black background.....

I really like that watch face is open source. :good:

H1 Vlad, I applaud you for your awesome watchface. Personally I am having massive problems implementing complications in my android watch.
You dont possibly have a guide or tutorial to help a lost soul out?

Sorry for a late replay. This watch face was created for this Pluralsight course.
It's behind the paywall, but you can get 10 days for free, and watch just this course. It explains step by step how to create a watch face.
Also, check codebase on GitHub, and feel free to open an issue there, if you have problems understanding some parts.

Thx man, love it

Just installed this but I cannot find it in my app drawer. It shows up in the installed apps setting , but no icon in the app drawer

[App] Minimalist watch face I created, suggestions/feedback welcome

I created this watchface as I felt the defaults were missing something minimalistic.
You can change the color of the watch hands via the mobile app.

something about the simplicity of it catches my attention. Question: doesn't the bottom of the watch get covered if you have an ongoing notification? I always have a weather card and music running, so my notifications are always there, which makes me prefer a digital watch face, although i rather have the analog look like this one. am I missing something? i almost feel like its a design flaw for that notification bar to constantly hang there, not a problem when the watch is in standby mode.

This really sucks. I feel the same way, especially because the notifications are so big. I hope we will be able to change this soon.

This app is really cool and unique concept. Can you make more changes in this app like changing the whole color inside the dial.?
looks very well...really like it...nice and clean
do you have a git project or anything?
Thanks

If ther was a date and way to change to change color of the watch face (not just the minute/hour hands) I would definitely rock this!
cool minimal design,thx
Nice work! I like the simple customization on the app. I'd love to see more minimalistic watch faces from you! (And a digital one would be great, with weather and day/date.)

I was going to try it out but the fact that the icon is stolen from Samsung's music app milk has changed my mind. Please come up with an original icon

so the complete app is now garbage because of a simple icon?
please at least give a few actual arguments and tell them how you'd like the icon to look like..
or make your own.

I'm sorry but where did I state that it was garbage? Seems like you're the one needing to give factual arguments, not me.
As for the icon, I think if a developer wants users to use their app instead of countless other apps that do similar things, they should be original and differentiate not sraight up copy something from other apps. In the case of this app, seems like they worked hard on it and I congratulate them, hopefully they will come up with a nice original icon that better fits their app.
I change this icon in the future. I'm not a graphic designer and so far i'm working on more important things...
I do not steal, I found this icon on google
New update is out. See changelog in app
Update v1.4.1.0:
- Playing music from folders (only sd card)
- Order settings
- Fixes minor bugs
Will be tomorrow
New version is out! Big update See in store

[Q] Why dose all the watchfaces have a digital always face on?

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?

[APP] The most accurate fitness tracking app for Android Wear!

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 !

Question Loving this phone and aodNotify, what other Apps do people use to enhance the phone experience?

Long story short, coming from a long time Huawei fanboy but now have an S23 Ultra. From a thread on here I’ve discovered aodNotify and love it. That got me thinking, what other apps do people consider essential to enhance the phone experience?

This lets you put a battery ring around the camera punch hole to make it useful. It also allows me to clear up my notification area and not have battery Icon/percentage there.
I just think it looks cleaner:

Just tried it, can’t get it to align on my S23 Ultra
Also, in case anyone is wondering, you can remove most of the icons on the Status bar:
Install Good Lock: https://apps.samsung.com/appquery/appDetail.as?appId=com.samsung.android.goodlock
Launch Good Lock and install QuickStar
Enable Quick Star
Tap Visibility of Indicator Icons
Select the Battery Slider to disable it (as well as any others you want)

Not sure what to say here... I followed my instructions and was able to position it just fine.
One thing I can say is if you message the Dev, he's very responsive (he's even here on XDA (https://forum.xda-developers.com/m/jagan2.1884109/)) so you can message him and see if there is something he can help with.
I'll keep poking around and see if there was anything else I can think of that I did. I'll uninstall and reinstall to see if that can replicate what you are seeing and what I did to fix it.
Found the issue, my screen resolution is set to FHD+ and not WQHD+
If I change it to WQHD+ it's fine. I'll inform the dev.
Cheers.
