adding watch faces on the Sony Smartwatch 2

can any of the app developers for Sony Smartwatch (2) tell me if it's possible to add watch faces to the watch?
the digital one on the SW2 is really too simple, with just the time showing, it really needs at least the date to be added

Hmm...I think you missed there a several choices built in to the watch. Go to the settings app on the watch scroll down and you will see the option to change the watch faces. Some include the date

But they aren't digital.

exactly, there are 4 "analog" watch faces and 1 digital and i want a digital one with date
what i really want to know is, can only Sony add watch faces?

Other developers can, although I don't know if they can do the proper "always on" effect. There is an app in the store now which claims to add more faces, although it isn't yet "optimised" for the SW2. For me though it just crashes on startup.

It seems its built into the firmware ... watch faces on the market are just WApps, they burn far too much battery to be useful IMO.
If we can hack the firmware, i'm fairly sure we can make our own watch faces, but i've no idea where you can even download the firmware to start with, let alone modding it.
Im interested how the display works, does anyone have proper info on this ? It looks to me like the display has two parts to it. one being the monochrome traditional style LCD and the other being the colour LCD ... or am i barking up the wrong tree ?

it's a transflective LCD, without backlight in low light its hardly readable, but in direct sunlight it reflects light in a certain way so it gets readable again
inside you can ofcourse use the backlight

Hello
So does this mean there is no way to have custom watchfaces that are always on. Like on the pebble?

At this time, yes.
As an owner of one myself I'm not too bothered by that fact. I've actually found the black analog face to look quite nice on the device - and I'm picky about my watch faces. My only complaint about the watch faces though is the fact that the digital watch face does not include a date/day indicator - it just displays the time.

Thanks for your answer.
I find this a little disappointing.
Always found that the ability to change watchfaces makes a smartwatch so interesting (next to notificationsbof course)

i've tweeted something nice to @SonyXperia
any decent digital watch can show a time AND date, and a smartwatch can't?

Hi,
I was looking for the same thing: A digital watchface with at least the date. I was personally a bit disappointed with he analog watchface as is not nearly as sharp as on the picture that are used as publicity.
I found that the first smartwatch had such as watchface), but I'm not sure if this SW can be installed on the Smartwatch 2.

Me too....

I notice on the box it shows a digital clockface with day and date....this isn't available on the watch itself!! Good grief, In this respect its a step back from the old one!

This is when graphics win over functionality
Still you must admit that this is a beautiful watch compared to the first version plastic thingy...

We can have more watchfaces but we have to pay for.

There is a similar discussion going on on the Sony Forum, entiltled "SmartWatch 2 - shake to highlight?, battery life?" (as a fairly new user I can not post an external link here yet).
Thommo writes:
I'm almost pretty sure that the watch in that video is a 1st production demo which had that feature on it - After looking round other sites which have tested the watch after official release this feature was removed apparently due to battery life as the watch would always be on thus battery life would not be that long, I'd like to also point out that on the demo versions there were more clock faces and a walkman widget - The walkman widget as far as I'm led to believe had a pixelation problem and was removed although the packaging still has an image of the widget on it
I'm curious to see if these functionalities will be brought back in as they are clearly printed on the box of the watch.

Review of WeLoop Tommy smartwatch, w/lots of pics! - re-inventing the Pebble wheel :)

removed.

Looks interesting. The sales page claims lots of apps are available and high customization.
I'm a little worried because I can't find any link to an SDK.
Good luck with it.

Nice find. Please update us with your review. I'm very curious about the notifications. It says, notification alarm? ??
So, wil it show the notification? Or will it only show an icon or play a sound?

imho, the success of any (non-standalone) smartwatch depends on the companion app that comes with it. AND knowing you'll get firmware updates (and know where to get them).
all those things that use BTNotifier or whatever version of it can't hold a candle to the like of Pebble, Sony Smartwatch 2 and Android Wear.
yes, these (china) watches are cheap, but you get what you pay for (really regret buying the U8 watch).
what kind of companion app comes with this watch?

That's why I never speculate until I get it in my hands. Once I receive it I will let you guys know how it works, battery life, and companion app. No doubt, without a proper app - it would be just a toy.

found this watch by accident. yes please give your most detail review for this one page didnt say compatible with my phone galaxy note 2 but since both has bluetooth 4.0 i think they are compatible.
i also want to know the o/s they are using. not android wear, i think?

Isn't really active here on xda, but wanted to tell you guys that I just bought this. So lets hope for the best that it's a good device
They say that there is apps being programmed to it already so there must be some way to program our own. So if anyone gets information about how to develop to this one please tell me/the rest of us

Looks great.
Will it be full compatible with an One Plus One? Thinking if it will work with an OPPO Find 7, I believe OnePlus One will made too...

Hmm is this has speakers and microphones so I can receive and make calls? (By connected to my mobile of course) . Need to decide between this or IKWEAR IK8 haha

Just got it today (DHL shipping was very fast).
First impression, it's very lightweight and thin. Magnetic charging cable is very much like in Pebble. The watch face is always on and you can enable backlight and motion (turns backlight as you move the wrist). Paired up OK with my Note 2. There is "weloop" app in Play store, but not everything is enabled in there yet. It seems that iPhone app is more complete while they are still working on Google app.
As of right now, from the app you can select Message Filtering and choose apps whose notification you want to be displayed on your watch. So you can get all your email notifications, txt message notification, phone calls, etc. There is also a way to access all recent notification history. You can use it as a remote shutter to take pictures and videos, and it controls music playback on your phone. The watchface replacement, silent alarm, and fitness app are not enabled yet, though it has a built-in pedometer to track number of steps, burned calories, and a total walking distance (though not sure how accurate it is).
It doesn't have android wear or any sort of android OS, it has it's own proprietary OS. There is no speaker or mic, obviously for battery conservation. One neat thing, I was able to check its firmware and it got updated over the air, no need to do manual fw update.
For now, this is just initial impression. Hopefully they will update android app version to enable all the features, especially changing the watchface of this clock. Once app is finalized and updated, i will write a detailed review with pictures.

Where is the Android support app? I can't find anything in the Play Store. Also, please post pics!

The app is here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.yf.smart.weloop - and it's the same one if you download directly from weloop.cn (second link at the top in the upper right corner, brings up QR scan for the direct link). Unfortunately, a lot of the info is still in Chinese. As a matter of fact, I had to try a few options to figure out how to switch Chinese to English in the setup of the watch.
What I can say is that hardware and design are SOLID! Been using it for a day, still at 100% battery. It does all the basic notifications, and extra (with fitness stuff, music control, camera control). The app is a work in progress and from what I understand it's more complete for iPhones while Android is next. I also see they have a big community (all in Chinese, unfortunately) with people posting with their suggestion and reporting problems (per Google translator). So, it definitely got a lot of support and can only get better from here.
I will post a TON of pictures later today, but a full review will have to wait until I see a more polished app update. Just keep in mind, this is not Android Wear or modified Android OS watch. This is a very good clone similar to Pebble design with proprietary fw. I think the key here is a very long battery life, durability and waterproof rating, small and thin and lightweight, and all the basic notifications and controls (with vibration). There is no high res graphics in there, but the watch face is always ON and it can last weeks. I was just using it outside and even without backlight - it has a "sharp" contract (no pun intended since it uses Sharp screen and great visibility in a direct sunlight.

Thanks a lot for your review and the pics! :good: Its cool you got it although DX.com says the Shipping beginns at Sep. the 15th. Seems like it was a nice suprise as the DHL-guy came :laugh:.
I have two questions you may could answer: 1. will it work with Android 4.3 devices? I know they say it does only support 4.4 but maybe they just say so, because they cant guarantee it will work with ANY 4.3 device at the time.
2. Do you think it is possible to change the strap? It doesnt look like an standard-srap, you say, but is it ever changeable? I am not a great fan of that TPU-straps.
THX
EDIT: @TomaszD84 - try the QR-Code from weloop.cn, it appears when you click on the 2nd of the 3 buttons in the upper right corner

Saw the device while browsing DX couple days ago, looked really promising and the YouTube ad looked really professional. I'm intrigued by the battery life, the only thing that has kept me from getting a smart watch is the pathetic battery lives of the watches. I don't need to charge my wristwatch(yeah so 90's...) every night. Can you tell more about the battery life now that you've used the device for some time?
If it had speaker and mic, I'd get one right away...

Yes indeed, it was a surprise to receive it so fast. As you can understand by visiting a link in my sig, I write hundreds of gadget and accessories reviews and get my review samples from manufacturers direct or through retailers such as dx.com since they can communicate with me in English. I guess it's a brand new product, and personally I'm excited about it because I have been following SmartWatches for awhile now.
I will try to see what's going on with that wristband but it doesn't look like a standard 22mm band, that's for sure.
4.3 vs 4.4, I remember notification was introduced in 4.3 where it worked before with my MetaWatch and older 4.3 on my Note 2 before the 4.4.2 stock update. But I can't say for sure if it will work for you. Might have to root to 4.4
Regarding battery, this is my 2nd day with a watch with a semi light weekend use. Will give you an update a week later. Right now it's still at 100%.

Customize watch faces with Connect app, coming soon!

Haha suck it G watch R!

Nice update

The update work for anyone? I got it but have been unable to set any of the new faces to the watch. They don't show up. Maybe something screwy with my oneplus....
Sent from my A0001 using Tapatalk

I have it and it is working. You may need to give it a few minutes for the new faces to be transferred to the watch. They appear just like the original stock faces.
It is nice to have the award winning Moto but it is a shame they didn't add any of the additional features such as weather or battery percentage. I think the clone of the face that boostr29 did for facer is still nicer. The Motorola face likely uses much less battery power though. Wear 2.0 should let people create much more involved faces that can display more information such as unread email etc.

If you havn't got the update yet or want to see what they are like, I took a photo of all the new watch faces:
http://imgur.com/a/XJXT5
Pascuals a favourite, I'm sure the My Design will be better in time... It won't be good for anything beyond casual usage though - you need to crop the image for it yourself, and the ticker hands you can't customize outside of the preset options they have.

Yeah, the My Design is quite limited for now, and you can't set large preview cards on it. But at least there's now the option/toggle to add the date to all of the other watchfaces too, which is handy.
Generally this is a bit of an odd update, as it just adds Moto Body features that replicate existing Fit ones, except for Calories. Now we have again the typical Android mess of duplicated features, despite Google's efforts to control Wear.

I dont understand how anyone can use a white face. That flat tire looks terrible. I always run a black face, so its not too noticable.

Try to restart the watch. It worked after I did a restart.

Same issue here. I've restarted the watch, reset the watch, uninstalled and reinstalled both Android Wear and the Connect app. None of the new apps or watch faces will show up on the watch.

I just wish the date option was a bigger font. My old eyes have a hard time seeing it.

The app is a ton of fun, hopefully they continue to expand it. I have several pictures that work great with the DIY watch face.

Yeah I'm loving this, the custom pictures are nice and hi resolution!

Thx for sharing. Had moto connect app disabled.

How are u guys getting the update? I don't see it on playstore?
---------- Post added at 10:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:55 AM ----------
Nvm. Odd. I had to search for the app and then it said update. Would not show up automatically.

My phone wouldn't find Connect update (kept telling me Connect was up to date)
On my PC, I visited -> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.motorola.targetnotif while it said installed, when I clicked the Install button I was able to pick my Moto X, and click OK.. After that, the X notified me of the app downloading and installing. I now have the update.

Seems like the best faces are the one's that create the illusion of a round face by having some sort of inner circle that is not disrupted by the flat tire look. Basically you tune it out since all the major eye candy is above it, only the tiny hash marks are broken which you barely notice anyway. Having a full white face or roman numerals makes it very obvious there is a screen break at the bottom.

I wound up having to reset the Moto X altogether. Somehow, I think swapping between a work-week phone (Note 4) and a weekend phone (Moto X) got some apps stuck on the watch that weren't on either phone anymore. When I reset the Moto X and then reset the 360, it stared to work correctly.

Too bad beelink dont work anymore else can easily switch devices with the watch.

New SW3 Owner

Hi Guys!
Just purchased the steel band version of the SW3 and it should be here next week! Really excited as this is my first smartwatch and also got it at a decent price too!
Anyway, just wondering about the following:
Is there a special app store for watch only apps?
How do I go about downloading new watch faces?
Is the type of screen used prone to screen burn?
Exactly how waterproof is this watch in Metres?
Thanks

Is there a special app store for watch only apps?
No, you just use the Play store, although there are apps that act as android wear stores.
How do I go about downloading new watch faces?
Use a program like watchmaker or facer and the facerepo website, personally I think watchmaker is better than facer.
Is the type of screen used prone to screen burn?
I haven't noticed any and I think it is unlikely.
Exactly how waterproof is this watch in Metres?
Not sure although I take mine swimming every day and wear it in the jacuzzi, steam room and shower and haven't noticed any problems.
Enjoy your new awesome watch, I am jealous that you have the steel strap, can't wait until Sony sort their act out and release the straps separately!

Cheers! I do have an android wear app ready on my phone...it's the Google one but unsure as to what it will actually do lol.
Hmmmm cheers! And these apps just push the faces to the watch do they?
Brilliant! Does the screen stay on all the time then but just dimly lit...or is it off until you carry out an action to make it show the time?
That's what I like to hear! Just I always wear my watches in the shower etc. and going on holiday soon so wanted to make sure it could be used in the pool...thanks for confirming it can be .
Yeah I wouldn't have gotten the normal rubber strap model, only do metal watches but so odd they have released the metal strap model but not the actual strap on it's own atm :-/ what's all that about!!?

The android wear app syncs your phone with your watch, and yeah watchmaker allows you to make watchfaces or download them and then it syncs them to your watch. The screen dims but still sows some elements of your watchface, with watchmaker you can decide which elements remain visible in the dimmed mode, and then the watchface turns on fully when you raise your wrist to look at the watch.
Sony are run by muppets apparently, I would throw money at them to have different straps if I could!!!!!!!

Ahhhh got you! Sure it will all become perfectly clear once i get the watch and pair it to my phone though .
Ooooo good that there's that level of customisation! That's where the question about screen burn came into this....I didn't want it showing anything when I'm not looking at it, assuming I can have it so the screen is off until I raise the watch?
Haha most of these companies are! They're releasing the straps soon though aren't they?

I used both facer and watchmaker, and I would go with watchmaker. It seems more stable.

Its worth noting that the faces made with FACER and WATCHMAKER make the cards behave differently to the standalone watchfaces.
I no longer use facer and watchmaker for this reason...

Can you clarify what facer and watchmaker do to the cards. I am desperately in search of away to stop them from waking the screen up from ambient mode. I like the vibration as a notification but I do not need anyone around me reading the notification. It is an invasion of privacy. I would simply like to retrieve the cards when I want to. I have both facer and watchmaker and have not noticed any difference with reference to cards or notifications

how do I find out which apps are feeding info into the watch? e.g I download 500px to get the watch faces from it and after i installed it on my phone the watch faces appeared on my watch...good, that's what I wanted but there is no way I'd have known that it had been configured to work with the smart watch unless I intentionally installed it knowing that.
What I mean is if I install a bunch of apps onto my phone that I don't want to push across info to my watch then how do I know if they're going to do this and how do I stop them?

Yay

preset 'vibration pattern' is missing for Huawei Watch

I've bought a Fossil Q-Explorist, which also runs on AW 2
In settings / Sound&News
you'll find "vibration pattern" on this watch
That's missing on my Huawei Watch!
I thought, that Android Wear is always the same at all watches with the same features
can anyone explain this behaviour, or better offer a solution?
This would be really a nice feature, because of the low vibration, especially on the Huawei Watch
The software status looks like the same on both watches!

This wasn't a feature included when 2.0 came out. Watches that have received a new update since July have it. I'm sure when the watch gets its next update it will get it.
