Watch faces with large complication view? - Wear OS Software and Hacking General

Is there such a thing? I'm looking preferably for a watch face creator app (one that DOESN'T need to run constantly as an extra app, but creates a standalone watch face), alternatively a decent digital watch face, that has a larger complication window than most (the generic small circle or oval) seem to have. Reason being, I use Wearable Widgets, but the text just gets too small in the tiny circle window.

picture frame widget

Is there any way to create a slide show in this widget ? And is there any way to use it as a pip ? Meaning could i play a movie in the little frame and touch outside to swap screens just like pip on a tv an multi task ( answer a text or email with out stoping the movie)?
There might be a 3rd party widget on the market somewhere to do the slideshow. It's unlikely that anyone would make a video player widget like that though. Just bookmark your spot and continue where you left off. It's not like you can watch and text at the same time

clock face question

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!

[Q] Always-on watch faces

Does anyone know if there is anyway to change the always-on watch face?
settings - style - clocks
not sure if thats what your asking for.
No. When you have the alway-on feature activated and the watch times out and instead of going blank, it displays a basic watch face. Each watch face displays its own always-on watch face. Some are digital and some are analog. I don't see anywhere that you can chose or even see what it is going to be until it turns on.
There is no way to change it. Also, 3rd party watch faces will only have the standard digital watch face as it is not possible to create customized always-on watch face via SDK. Only some of the Samsung's watch faces have a nice analog always-on face.

App/Feature Request - Multiple Display Mode

This seems to be an overlooked feature/capability that could be added to Android devices: Multiple Display Mode.
This is NOT Casting/Mirroring. This is the equivalent of the multi display function on a PC, where you can show one app in full-screen on one display, and a second app in full-screen on the second display, allowing you to see/interact with both apps in real time.
A real-world application for this could be using a HUD display device and your phone screen simultaneously in your car. For example, keeping Torque, or a similar engine monitoring app on the phone screen, and displaying Google Maps, or your navigation app of choice on the HUD screen. This would use the casting ability in a way that has not been seen before.
Another example could be displaying an app like a video player or photo viewer on your TV, while keeping a second app, like wikipedia open on your phone, then switching control between each display/switching which app is displayed in which location.
Has this already been done/is this even possible?

Stratos questions

Hi all,
I just got my Stratos and got a few questions wich I can't find here...
Running latest 2.3.7.
- I receive all my notifications double on my watch, no matter if it's Gmail, Outlook, Linkedin, Whatsapp etc etc. I only have the Amazfit app installed, nothing more.
- I there a way to adjust date format to EU standard (dd-mm-yyyy)?
- How can I add other sports/activities? I made one in the app but it doesn't show up in the watch. I want to track my Hiit training sessions like Les Mills Gritt (on fitbit yuo can use kickboxing or aerobis for this).
- I want to use the watch to control my music on my phone/tablet. Sometimes the music controller shows up in the watchface after swiping up but sometimes not and nitifications show up. How to call it in front?
- Every few seconds the watchface seems locked and I have to press middle button and after that upper before I can swipe the screen. Can you make this more easy?
- On my Garmin and Fitbit if I receive a notification I can see it directly on my watch without pressing buttons. How do I do that with the Stratos? Do I realy need to enter notification menu?
But most annoying for now is the double notification. Hope that someone can explain this to me...
edit: I just notice that the double notification is not exactly the same. If I get an email first notification is the email wich I can tap top open and read the whole email. 2nd notification is only a message with the subject which I can't open further.
edit2: seems like I receive 1 notification with that are emails. and a 2nd one with the email itself. Just recievd 4 mails in 5 seconds. Watch says: 1st notification you have got 4 outlook message. Then I have 4 extra notifications with those email messages.
Maybe it's because of Novalauncher/Teslaunread/Android one on my phone.
- Dateformat is not changeable in WFZ watchfaces, you have to search for an App WF
- No you can't create your own activities.
- music, no clue, don't use it.
- That is the reason why the watch has such a long battery live, if it goes into standby mode the screen is off.
- If you want a Garmin functionality, stay with garmin. This is how it works on the Stratos
Install watch Droid. Use that for all your notifications and to control music on the phone.

In the Amazfit app you can make an sport. Howcome you can't import it to the watch, whats the use of that function then.
It's a sports watch but gym activities like weight lifting or cardio are not included.
My fitbit also uses the standby modus, but aftre flicking the wrist (like the stratos) it comes to live and unlocks itself. No need to push buttons.
I just wanted to try something different the Garmin and Fitbit and this one looked stylish for daily wear.
I hope I can sort the notifications out. That and sports are the mean reason I use a smart sport watch.

Just installed it.
Is there an easy way to get in the notifications from watch droid?
I get around a notification every minute (busy job...)
You could install quick launcher so that you have easy access to watch Droid from the watch screen, but it interferes with custom keyboards if you're using those.
Alternately the paid version of watch Droid allows a notification to also be created within the watch notifications, which you can click to open the larger notification in watch droid

Thanks for the tip, I'm gonna try that out...
I also am a sportinstructor and wanted to use the watch to start/stop the music on my ipad while teaching the class.
That mostly work (can't find out when it does and when it doesn't) but it's not working when I track the excersice in sport on the watch. Then you can't control the music.
Is there any way to control the music (on Ipad) when you are inside a sport activity?
Also I'm still missing a way to track my Hiit training sport activity. In some video's etc I see aerobics as an activity. That one I can use. But it's not in my stratos.
Haven't figured how to change music on the phone during an activity unfortunately.
Stratos doesn't have an option to track HIIT. Some people have reported using elliptical to track gym workouts, but I've not tried that
