Hi everyone.
First of all I really appreciate this whole XDA Amazfit thread and honor every dev posting their hard work in here
I'm a Pebble/Stratos switcher and as much I adore Stratos services I do miss the variability of watchfaces as they were on Pebble.
This would more of a feasibility question whether it is even possible to create such watchfaces as they were/are on Pebble watches. For example see the Fisheye watchface

You can always create yours watchfaces. Here, in Amazfit xda subforum, there's an app to create your own watchfaces without any programming skills, or in fabiobarbon site.
Take a look at this two options

I'm aware of them but thanks. I'm looking more for something that can change the background based on the actual weather. WFZ maker can't do this obviously (and the 8bit mode is just ugly) and I'm afraid that such a logic cannot be implemented without programming skills.
I wouldn't even mind having an companion app to set everything I want to have on the watchface, but I'm just curious, whether something like this is doable.
Only APK watchfaces can do this. They are easy to install and use but be aware that they may break or cause problems after every firmware updates. You can find many on AmazfitWatchfaces.com and VergeIt.it.

I came across an outstanding watch face application called Watchmaker. The tool is easy to use and the support has been outstanding. Watchmaker is very addicting I started making a simple face and slowly kept on adding more refinement to my faces and now have 3 for various activities. Is anyone else using Watchmaker?

100% agree - I have had nothing but a good experience with WatchMaker and there are some awesome text / shader effects - you can see some of them in my designs below - you can download them from my link below and import them straight into WatchMaker!

You can just import it direct into the app to play with the watch. All feedback welcome!

Just wanted to share this video I made about how smooth the animation is in WatchMaker vs Facer :
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=04zN...ature=youtu.be
The whole thread is over at the link below, but I figured it was worth noting for people on LG Watch too …
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-360/themes-apps/facer-vs-watchmaker-t2918137
Great app but I'm having trouble selecting an image for a background. Every time I try to pick one or modify an existing one, the app crashes on me straight away. Anyone else with the same issue or know a way to fix it?
Really great app. Do you know where to get more .watch files?

There is a "WatchMaker" community on Google+ that is quite active. They post links to a lot of Watchmaker designs on there.

This simple classic was packed in a new guise.
A game that is absolutely easy to understand and to play.
You but once started it, so you want to stop no longer to play it.
Absolute risk of addiction!
The game was developed using c# as a Windows universal app and is available for Windows 8.1 and Windows phone 8.1.
If necessary, I will develop this game also on Android.
Could a good start be.

Nice relaxing app! It will be well to add more animations.
How you made it? Clean XAML or MonoGame or Unity3D?
simple to relax
Hi,
sorry for the late answer.
I have create that app as an universal runtime app.
It is available on Windows 8.1 to.
The app is really simple.
I try here to work with big classes, so one heart with all his Animation is one class.
The main page creates and manage all hearts.
All that is running in a simple Loop.
I had create the complete app in 2 days.
In short time I create an sacond one, withe Gems.
That one supports all display formats.
Also I try to create an online leader board.
Greetings

Is it possible to install other watches stock watchfaces to our watch.If it possible then how can we find them and install?

Are the stock watch faces not all made and/or released by Google and thus the same across Android Wear devices? That was my understanding (Google wanted a pure experience with Android Wear and thus shut the OEM's out of software development).

I suppose you could, the question is - much like getting your tap water from your neighbors house in the same city block - what's the point? Is it not the same stuff?
I don't know how to accomplish this - probably scan for apk's on the watch - if the faces are all the same, I just don't see the reasoning behind it.
EDIT: Maybe they can be different...I have not seen this one yet:

You should be able to find some stock ones using WatchMaker or Facer.

I just did a google image search ("gear live watch faces").
Hi guys, recently i had some time to learn some Java, and since there was not any watchface i liked in particular i decided to make one by myself.
SCREENSHOTS BELOW
APK ATTACHED TO POST, SEE BOTTOM
My objective was to make a watchface as realistic as possible, and i achieved this with reflections based on hand movement, realistic minutes and seconds hands that smoothly move following force law and high res textures.
Even if it looks an heavy computing app it is butter smooth in my G Watch R and cpu isn't much stressed.
It is the closest to real smartwatch i've seen.
I'm giving this to you hoping you all like it, if you want you can help me keeping up with this just by downloading and rating the free app, which is the same as the paid one except for advanced effects like reflections and force based hands movement:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=wear.trombettonj.trombt1steelfree
And here is the paid app, with the lowest possible price i could set in play store:

I will add option for square watches soon, a couple of days maybe
Could you add a realistic looking date?

Never mind. I have located a bunch of watch faces online. But what I meant by "realistic looking date" is the small glass bubble located on real watches to magnify the date number (like on a Rolex or a Panerai). Thanks anyway.
Thanks for giving the XDA community exclusive free access. Its pretty cool of you
Also, this is completely unrelated to the topic... But could you make a digital watchface? That would be awesome! I can't find any digital watchface that I like.
Hi XDA,
New member with low-level coding ability looking for some advice.
I've just bought the Stratos and amazed with its features, and also the quite poor app market for it. I'm a big windsurfer/surfer and looking to customise the watch for these activities.
Questions 1:
Is there any ETA on adding a new sport to the watch? SUP/Windsurfing/Surfing? Its basically just the Ski setting without vertical.
Question 2:
I've read up on how to create a custom watch face. How do I have this watch face display data from a website/API? I'd like to display data from magic seaweed/windguru on the watch face ideally to create something similar to the Surfline app:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
How is this possible? Or is it possible to install Android Wear apps onto the Stratos (meaning I could use the Surfline face)?
Thanks!
To start with, you have to get these data somehow. I suppose there are sites displaying those characteristics based on the location? If this is true you could make a widget displaying these features pulling the data from your phone's internet connection.
Take a look at Quinny's Train schedule widget...

Did you ever get anywhere with this? It is so much harder than I thought to find a tide app for an Android or Tizen watch!!
