[Q] 360Moto Face Dev and Design maker for PC - Moto 360

Hello Android experts, my hobbie is designing sport watches based on the original look&feel of those, I believe Moto360 1st and now this 2nd Gen fits to make good watch faces. So my question is what developer and design tools for PC are available to create new watch faces and emulate similar look and feel, for example continuous movement of the seconds clockwise?

Tag Heuer Watch faces
Do we've Tag Heuer watch faces for this watch, I am willing to buy this watch I would like to know if this is worh purchasing or should I go for Moto 360 2nd Gen ?
https://www.facerepo.com/app/search/results?sortOrder=relevance&query=tag+heurer&page=1
I believe it's worth purchasing.
I found a review / compare of both of them: http://www.gizmag.com/moto-360-2-vs-huawei-watch-comparison-review/39774/
The 360 gen 2 has this thing called a "flat tyre look" where the bottom of the screen is cut off.. I don't like that at all. The Huawai looks better and I think closer to a proper watch.
My main driver for buying the Huawai is that it looks smart when I wear business clothes. The 360 is close and would also do the job but the cut off bit of the screen looks odd and annoying.
The 360 in ambient mode looks very pixilated, where the HW looks crystal clear and defined. Plus with the sapphire scratch resistant face you'll never scratch it. I've got 10 year old TAG's with spotless sapphire faces. It's a truly awesome mineral second hardest to diamonds.
The watch is frigging awesome.
Sorry to write on an old post, but since the release of the Connected I was wondering if you could get the official watch faces to the Huawei watch. Thanks!
They are on https://facerepo.com/app/
Choose your watch as the Huawei and then scroll through a few of the pages. You will see around 3 to 4 pages in the Connected faces. My Huawei is charging but here is one on my LG R. First on is fully on and the second is dimmed. Very nice face on the LG but even better on the Huawei! Pm me if you cant them.

[WatchFace] [free] Carbon Fiber Watch Face

Hi,
I would like to share with you a watch face, I initially developed this specifically for Huawei Watch (since I own one), but then I extended the support to other watches.
Carbon Fiber Watch Face
It's a clean dark watch face with customisable colors/accents, it is compatible with both Circular and Square watches.
You can change the accents from the mobile companion app
Some screenshots are attached, appreciate any feedback you might have here or in the play store
Nice , but needs a "Battery Meter" Just my wish :good:

Help for the first time (pun?) buyer

Hi all,
I've recently come back into the android fold and I'm currently using the Nexus 6P (fantastic phone btw) and now I'm branching out to other android devices.
I've always wanted a smart watch and I feel now is the time to dive in. After a lot of research that's left me with two options and I'm torn between the Moto 360 (46mm) and the Huawei watch. I've read countless reviews and they both have their pro's and con's, such as cost, display, battery, looks, functionality and I've read into the issues surrounding the charging cradles which only makes my decision more difficult.
I'm all for customization and can spend hours on XDA reading and trying things regarding my phone and android in general which made me take note of in terms of support and activity the Moto 360 has a lot more attention on XDA, I appreciate that this is most likely due to the Moto 360 being more main stream and has been out for longer, not to mention the V1 lead the charge for android wear but user support is very important to me.
At the moment I'm not sure how I feel about the flat tyre which appears to most of the gripes for the 360 however on investigation several watches faces appear to have overcome this issue to some extent and many users after some time appear to have forgotten all about it, plus it does serve some practicality with the ambient display so it's not all bad.
Any thoughts? Pro's and con's? Are there any 360 users also looking at the Huawei watch?

Huawei my next SmartWatch? Some questions!

Hello,
i bought a Galaxy S7 Edge (was an Iphone 6 Plus and Apple Watch User).
But now i need a new Smartwatch.Not really sure if i will buy the Moto 360 V2 or the Huawei Watch.
In my opinion the black little sensor bar on the Moto is a disturbing.
But more important for me are the WatchFaces.It seems as the Moto 360 has more Whatchfaces (like the Repo Faces of some luxury brands ) than the Huawei Watch?
Is this point right or can I get these Designs on the Huawei Watch,too?
Sorry for my bad english,my friends.English isn't my main language.

You can download all the watchfaces from the PlayStore that you want. Paid or Free and can even make your own.

IMHO watchfaces are not relevant at all in the choice of a smartwatch, as it's always possible to find the wished watchface somewhere or to design one by yourself (using Watchmaker).
More important to consider are the hardware differences (design, screen, etc.) and the price...
Most Android Wear faces are compatible with most of the devices and it's usually stated if they're not. The only big issues can be square vs round watch faces and low resolution, since the Huawei Watch has a higher resolution screen

I'm really a Newcomer in this topic.So i can't make Whatchfaces by myself and so i am depend on the developers of this great Designs.
Most Watchfaces which look good for me are designed for the Moto.But i don't know if it's such a problem because of the Screen Resolution.
If not I would go with Huawei.All in all,the price isn't an important point for me.
I can't buy a Tag Heuer Connected but the price between the Huawei and Moto is ok.

It's hard to say without any specific examples. Can you link any of the Moto faces you're interested in? But I have only come across very few faces which looked low-res on the Huawei Watch, most are fine since everyone uses high-res graphics anyway.

I do not know if that is so like to see, but I'm interested in Watch Faces like in this thread .
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-360/themes-apps/watchmaker-500-watchfaces-monster-pack-t3276583
Edit : It seems as if this kind of Watchfaces have this black sensor bar in every Watchface.So it's hard to find this kind of Watchfaces originally made for the Huawei

Most of these watchfaces even though they were originally released for the moto will work on Huawei. I have many of them installed on my watch and they work just fine. I have not used this source which you have mentioned but I hvae obtained them from other places like facerepo. You will need to purchase the full version of Watchmaker however

Maybe you don't know this site:
http://www.watchawear.com/watches/watch-faces.html
There are hundreds of free watchfaces to be used with Watchmaker.
And actually even a child can learn to use Watchmaker..
Watchmaker and Huawei watch works perfectly. You can use any round watch face no matter if it was designed for Moto or not.
Never had any issues.
Here you can also find plenty watchmaker watchfaces: https://plus.google.com/communities/106982503578105386202
I think his main concern is that Moto faces all have that flat tire look and it carries over to the Huawei watch. But they don't..that area is covered up. As an example look at this watch someone with a Moto posted: https://plus.google.com/photos/1132...202&sqsi=25e11c8c-fc50-42c4-95d4-fea916b927cd
I just installed the same watch face and took a screenshot of it (look below). It looks just fine Not flat tire and the resolution is fine.
Also when you install an app like WatchMaker, you can customize the watch face as you want, changing colors and shortcuts etc.

Thank You very much.
I thought that the Black Sensor Bar would be on everyone watch because they are made for the Moto Watch.
Am I right,that the link i posted earlier would be in Fullsize without the Black Bar?
In Facer they have all this Black Bar.
Thank You for your help.

Going from Sony Smartwatch 3 to Huawei Watch

Hello, I bought the smartwatch 3 earlier this month as a first smartwatch due to the cheap price, however I find it laggy and I don't like the square watch, ive been thinking about the huawei watch and saw some reviews about it and thinking about buying the stainless link one as it looks stylish, is it worth buying? Pros and cons?
I switched from Sony Smartwatch 3 last week to Huawei Watch.
Biggest cons are: screen visibility in direct sun - it was WAY better on Sony. It was also less annoying during the night - with the Huawei I have to switch it to theatre mode or use watchface that has only reds in sleep mode. Another issue comes from Android Watch 2.0 OS - swiping from right to left changes watchfaces, doesn't open the menu with apps. Also double tap to switch to theatre mode is gone, but it's software related, not hardware.
In terms of hardware - the Huawei Watch is a beautiful device and looks much much better than Sony. Like wearing a toy vs wearing a proper watch. Watch is more responsible than Sony Smartwatch, everything works nice and smooth, hiccups are only occasional. Google Now works more less the same, I don't see a huge difference here. Lack of NFC is a big let down on Huawei, I was using it a lot to connect to headphones on Sony Smartwatch 3, so I miss this feature as well, but after pairing watch with my headphones it's not too bad. It was easier on Sony, but I can live with it. I wish I had Android Pay on Huawei though. Voice call quality is so so, bu it's handy to have it when you're driving, you can still have your hands on the wheel and answer the call.
Overall I don't regret switching from Sony to Huawei - I guess there's no perfect smartwatch on the market at the moment anyway.
The best feature of this smartwatch is the looks.
