So I've been using this face a couple of days now. There isn't much to say other than it works fine. It's a nice simple face and the ability to change colors to match whatever I'm wearing is nice. Battery life is fine as well. This will go into my permanent collection of faces I cycle through.
The only change I might make would be to give the option of having military time. 0435 in the afternoon isn't really a correct way to display the time. That's nitpicking though.
Good job!

Nice work, I have it and is very nice.
Some times seconds doesn't appear. i have to turn off the screen (enter dimmed mode), and it works
Just on thing, in dimmed mode seems too poor, but if not it should be a battery drain, so I have no better idea.
Thank you.

Hey, thanks for your nice watchface. I love the flat (material) design very much.
Some points I recognized:
- the time (hh:ii) isn't centered, but has an offset to the left. The left margin is twice the size as the right one.
- the animated written seconds (numbers) are tiny
- in case of a notification at the bottom, it overlays the seconds.
Perhaps you can reduce the margin between time and seconds-animation, so that the seconds move to the middle of the screen.
Nice work! Tommy
. Unfortunatelly I cannot link a Screenshot.
That's a nice face!
Thought it'd be cool to start a thread of everyone's favorite Watch face.
I developed this one last week is free. Let me know what you think.
http://apps.samsung.com/gear/appDetail.as?appId=com.watchface.ShrekDroidBlueSteel
Working on watchface #2. Not live in the app store yet, but what do you think?
Also anyone who likes my first watch face I'd love some reviews in the app store.
I don't know if it exist, but did you ever think about creating a watchface whose always on display is analoge and the actual activated face being digital? For me only watch faces with a very simple AoD are feasible since I do not want to waste the whole battery on a fancy display I do not currently look at

I'm not personally a fan of blue watchfaces, or anything else with background colors other than either pure or very-near black. I just find that the OLED glow from them really looks unnatural.
Does anyone know if the two watchfaces to the left in the Samsung marketing pics below are defaults on the Galaxy Watch that can be obtained and installed on the Gear S3?
Also, in particular - those 2 watch faces seem to show the current weather/temperature... does anyone also know if that works properly without killing the battery on the Galaxy Watch, as opposed to the Gear S3? I've tried about a dozen "weather" capable watchfaces on the Gear S3, and every one of them drains the battery at about 10% per hour, instead of <1% when using any other non-weather watchface.
I'm wondering if this is just bad programming/implementation of the weather on existing watchfaces that the developers aren't aware of (possibly turning on and leaving on GPS all the time?). And if the new watch faces in the picture implement the weather feature better and don't suck the battery dry?
Many thanks

That's an interesting idea. I can take a look into that. Most watches I have use both analog and digital, but I could easily do analog only on a black background for the AOD screen.

No pictures came through on your post btw.
Weather on watch faces is tricky. I think the battery drain is a Samsung issue actually. It pulls the data from your phone, but it updates it ALOT. Way too often IMO. I have avoided using it for that reason, but may take a look and see if I can trick it into only pulling once an hour or something.
If you had a black background watch face what would you want the colors of everything else to be?
Working on a "mostly black" watchface per the above request. Made a blue and a red.

Hopefully I fixed the post, the image with the marketing photo should be attached now. I normally put my images on postimages.org and use the "img" tool to insert them in forum posts - that doesn't seem to work here for some reason so I uploaded to xda as an attachment instead.
As far as style and color, I *really* like this stock photo of the new Galaxy Watch that everyone has on their sites. It seems to be the new default watch face. I'd love to get that for the Gear S3. If weather isn't an option due to huge battery drain, then heartrate instead.

i like the glow effect of the green one, but am really worried about the battery life if this was to be the AoD as well. Would prefer a very low battery consuming (few pixels alive on AoD) with the time still showing and the real watch face to include the appointments of your calendar.
I keep going back to the preinstalled "my day" or whatever it is called during the work day, because it's just great to have those appointments show up.
What do you think about the idea to only have an hour indicator at the border (like what some clock faces do for the second) so you can see how close your next appointment is and the rest of clock being a very simply digital clock?
Pretty quiet here ?
Here is the one I made for myself with Watchmaker
Actually just updated it (PMW-01.3).
I added the glowing seconds and weather icon.
The idea was to have a good watch for traveling but yet elegant.
I also ripped on of the Samsung's BG to have a unified interface with the one I use.
Happy to share it if you like it.

The AOD screen on the watch only uses about 6% of the pixels. So it should be pretty easy on the battery. I'm running it on the watch now I'll let you know how it goes. I don't push anything to the app store that is bad on the battery.
I can add a calendar widget to it, but it will probably cause more battery drain.
The "My Day" clock face is pretty close to what i really would like to have, but the AoD on that one has a moving hand for the seconds. I would probably like to have that removed, so it is more static and battery friendly. Sadly i did not find a way yet to get the "My Day" clock face into the Clock Face Designer to adjust it.
It would be great to have this with the adjusted AoD and a Digital instead of a analogue clock for the regular clock view.
Do you know how to get the preinstalled clock faces into the designer ?
I have a question about Watchmaker for those of you using it...
Do the watch faces update themselves (their time display) either in the background, or just before the screen turns back on?
IE, with GWD watch faces, that's the case, when the screen lights up the watch face is showing the current correct time.
However with both Mr. Time and Facer, this is NOT the case. The watch faces stall at whatever time it was when the screen turned off, and when it turns back on, the incorrect time is briefly displayed, after which it abruptly jumps to the correct time. This is hugely anoying to me and I don't use either of those apps and their plethora of watch faces for that reason.
What is the case with Watchmaker - do those faces function correctly like the native Samsung GWD ones do, or do they jump the time like Mr. Time and Facer?
Thanks

Hi there
It does jump to the actual time when the watch goes on. But it's almost instantly happening.
Here is the shortest video I ever made

That's exactly like Mr. Time and Facer... I can't stand that, so I guess I won't be using Watchmaker either.
I wonder why they can't program it to update before turning on like the native Samsung GWD faces do.
Cheers

Building your own face isn't that complicated with the Samsung Designer so, could make your own.
You can also use that graphics from a face you like by renaming the .watch file to .zip and extract them (remember to thank or ask authorisation if you want to publish it).
I will try the Samsung way but at the moment I have not managed to connect my watch to my PC, :/
Wanted to post this for others using SWD to design watch faces for the Samsung line of watches. If you try to build and get the "Please set 'OPR of Always On State under 15%' when Build Watch Face" error message, I'll explain how to fix this. There are two ways of rectifying this issue:
1. Hide elements of the design until the message disappears. When you do this method though, the always-on-state image will only show the elements that weren't hidden so when the watch is in the AOD state it won't look like the original design and may look very weird depending on your design.
2. I build my designs (or copy name brand watch designs) inside of photoshop. if you build this way, make two layers of the watch face. One containing the actual face, and one that contains black that covers the entire face (and only the face). Make sure the black is on top. then simply reduce the opacity enough to see the design through the black. You'll have to play around with how much you need to reduce the opacity depending on the colors in the watch face. For a very white watch face, you'll want the opacity at around 75%, for darker faces, you'll use a lower opacity. In SWD, place the original watch face as the background and then put the opaque watch face right above it. Click the " always-on-state", then hide the opaque layer and build the project as normal. If you still get the error, go back to photoshop and make the opacity higher until you no longer get the error.
What is happening is that when you click " always-on-state" in SWD it takes a screenshot of the layers of the watch (excluding the watch hands) and uses this image instead of the regular image when you have the AOD set to on and you aren't looking at the watch. For whatever reason, SWD decided that the AOD image needs to almost be black. I'm not really sure why, but this is what is causing the issue.
Hopefully, this helps anyone out there.
****Update****
I forgot to add, you choose to not set the Always-On-State. This will prevent the error message as well, but the watch will use the generic Samsung watch design when the AOD on the watch is set to on and when someone turns their wrist to look at the watch, it will turn on your design but it takes a quick second to happen and this doesn't look good. I recommend using option 2 above as I think this is the best solution.
I have this showing up on my watch : OPR:11,34% does this meen it blocked the face i'm uploading or is it the face thats allready on my watch?

Lots of pretty watch faces... none of them seem to display that much useful information, especially text. I'm trying to see my the name of my next calendar event on the watch face
thanks

I am using the Concentric one. You can choose a Slot and select Next Event there.
That doesn't show the title of the next calender event in my experience. All I get is the number of minutes to the next event which is pretty useless IMO

I'm using outlook for Android and is great
A deeper look at Outlook for Android Wear | Microsoft 365 Blog
Today, we are introducing the Outlook watch face for Android Wear. With the Outlook watch face, you can quickly see an overview of your day’s schedule along with key details on where you need to be next. Staying on top of your day has never been easier.
www.microsoft.com
Check out some of the faces by Matteo Dini. Very nice quality and many give you both the time and text for your next calendar appointment.
This one is MD307.
Lots of adjustability. Colors, complications, shortcuts, etc ..
I've got it set for (from to to bottom)
Battery (with larger dial too), heart rate, unopened notifications (with a shortcut to it's left), EVENTS, day, date, moon phase, time, seconds, month, weather with temp, steps (with daily goal to the left).
Many of these can be changed to something else.

Hi Flogi12,
on the SS, you seem to use the AOD option on your Pixel Watch.
I read everywhere that it was very battery consumer.
What is your opinion about this? Is it better to have AOD or tilt to watch?

To be honest, i never tried tilt to wake with the pixel watch. Had a Ticwatch E and a Fossil Gen5 before and with both of them consumed more battery with TTW than with AOD and i also find only AOD more convenient.
On WearOS 2 you saw the full notifications when they arrived anyways. And with the Pixel Watch and disabled TTW , when a notification arrives and you tilt it, it shows the full text.
So AOD and no TTW is always the preffered setting for me.
