I've tried changing the .watch or .face files to .zip and expanded them, but there aren't any images in them, just unix files.
How are you guys actually making watch faces? I want to give it a shot and make some for WatchMaker, but I'm lost on where to start.. dunno dimensions, how to animate, etc.
Any help would be appreciated!

Hey, is there a way to make watchfaces on the pc??
I read about an application for windows but i just cant seem to find it ANYWHERE!.. Help me out if you know of something.
It works just like watchmaker but its on the pc..
I thi k making these on a computer would be super easy!
Thanks, cheers!!
I thought that's what people were doing! You're making them in WatchMaker??
Well, that explains why I couldn't figure it out. I have WatchMaker Pro, been tinkering with it, but I guess I didn't catch the feature where I can actually make the watch faces with it. I thought I had to import them.
In that case, my next question is how do I find the directories to save the images, etc? The path shows up in WatchMaker when I browse for files, but the actual path doesn't seem to exist on my phone. I've gone into the folder where they're supposed to be, but nothing's there.
edit: never mind, got it sorted

I would advice you use SmartToolKit RC08 as it works well with the dash, can be downloaded @ http://www.neilmorgan.co.uk/btbbanywhere/closing_applications.htm. Place this file on phone via active sync or beam via bluetooth find it via Filemanager on phone and click on and install. You will need to go into it's options to get it to load @ startup.
Hope this helps.
More software available @ http://www.neilmorgan.co.uk/btbbanywhere/software_good.htm
I've been wondering about this myself... After getting a screen capture on SmartToolkit, how do you get the bitmap to display in your post as a thumbnail? For some reason, I can only get it to be an attachment--but I want it to be visible to everyone as they scroll past my post.

hmm, I've never had a problem with this. All i do is take the screen shot, then put the xx.bmp on the desktop, upload it as an attachment and viola, it's there
if you want, i'll do it right now.
EDIT: I just realized what i did, open image in paint, save it as jpeg and upload the jpeg. it should work fine
Good Luck !
I like "My Mobiler". Free app, runs from your desktop and allows you to control your phone screen and save screenshots directly to your PC.

Are you running WM 6.1/Vista? I'm having trouble connecting it. Ok, i tried everything but it just does not connect, Ahh - Even tried connecting from the phone. Nothing happens. Just says connecting but never ends up connecting.
Can someone else try it out & tell me if it's working for them or not?
You know what, It's the damn firewall in vista but even after i turned it off, it's not working.
Oh well, nevermind
VISTA SUCKS - There you go, had to say it.

If only there a was a way to write sms's as well on the desktop, that'd be great...!
I use Smart SS
http://www.louterrailloune.com/smartss/
I also notice that there is now Smart SS+
http://www.louterrailloune.com/smartss-2/
I like that it is a small specific app without all the other junk like Smart Tool Kit. Not that I don't like Smart Tool Kit but it has a lot of stuff in it and if all you want is a screen shot than this app will do.
Seems like SMart SS+ will allow you to take .png and .jpeg as well as .bmp
Thanks for all the links guys, I will def try these out.

I've been looking around for a way to design faces from a computer, but I can't find any. What am I missing? Can you only design faces from the phone?
You need some form of photoshop.
You can download gimp for free.
I'm talking about actually compiling a face in the ".face" format from a computer. So far, I'm thinking that I have to export images to my phone and compile faces there. Is this correct?

Do yo mean something like watchaface studio?. Sorry, seems like I can't post outside links because of my low post account (newbie here), but if you google "watchface studio codeplex" you'll find it.
Just what I was looking for, thanks.
There was a watch face on facer I could never get to actually show up on my Moto 360 in the facer app. So I made my own watch face inspired by it. Contains a couple swear words.

If you unzip it you get your *.face file.
Edit: Now after I tried for myself I know what you mean. Sorry ...
Still can't import it into Facer
You open facer app. ..There is a watch with arrows icon (import) on the top right. ..click on it and locate and press the zip file you downloaded. ..it will automatically import into facer

can't
When I try to import, it just shows a black screen on the app and on my moto 360
Change .zip to .face
Anyone managed to import this?

How does one upload watch faces permanently as is done with eg the speed watch face made by zuhanden?
If he can do it, there must be a way...
Thanks.
Is it really so difficult to be specific when you post a thread? It's not just you. I've seen so many threads where it's like a portion of the thought that's on your head makes it on the page...and we're left to try and guess just what the heck you're talking about.
Upload permanently? What does that mean? If you upload to any free hosting site, it'll be subject to a DMCA take-down, like FaceRepo or XDA now has been removing faces after getting C&D letters. Or you can pay for your own server, and even then you're liable to C&D letters if your host wants to take action, or to legal consequences if they leave it up to you and you ignore it.
But then again, I might not be even close to what you're asking since you didn't really say it clearly.

Thought it was just me. I appreciate we're multicultural here but come on??
What he means is have the watch face uploaded to the watch to select it in the same way we do the stock faces. When he downloaded the speed watch face from the play store this behaves the same as a stock face. i.e not having to go onto facer and select the watch face, then select facer from the 360
The clock face that you see on the smart watch in fact is not just a wall paper , it is a custom android program that one can customize the contents .

Thanks hmanxx, that makes sense. So no easy way to do that it seems.
To others, yes, I meant upload to watch... guess I would have been in even bigger trouble if I had asked in this forum about how to upload things in a more general sense But point taken, was perfectly clear in my head...
Hello Everyone,
I made my 1st watch face today. It is not perfect, but still looks good. Hence wanted to share it.
Have got both watchmaker and facer files now. But henceforth will make for watchmaker only since it is a much better app than facer.
The zip files have both the versions in them, so extract and choose the correct version.
Thanks
Too bad it doesnt open in watchmaker

The latest Facer update enables "copy protection" so Watchmaker won't import anymore.
Any chance of creating this face - http://www.authenticwatches.com/tag-heuer-kirium-wl1180-ft6000.html#.VKK5xf-CADA?
Thanks.
Hi Bikegeek. Right now I am not taking requests since I am still learning how to make watch faces. I will keep your request in mind once I get good at it. The Tag Heuer F1 was something I was trying to remember my old gimp skills on.
Sorry for now BIkegeek.

As of this version, his "copy protection" is laughable and won't take more than a few seconds for the WatchMaker dev to get past it, if he wants to. The Facer dev is taking the json file and converting it to base64.
For example, the OP's latest watch face's "protected" watchface.json file looks like this if you open it in a text editor:

My 3rd watch face is up. Check the 1st post for details. I used the badapps.fr version as a source and modified it.
The Helvetica Mondaine is up.
Does anyone know if I can get the #Dd# date displayer to display with two digits. For example : 04 instead of just 4.
