Is there any way of getting more than 3 items of data to display on the watch face? e.g. phone battery, watch battery, No. of steps and current temperature?
Onthe "Glance" face you can have 6 widgets

Thanks - Glance ticks all the boxes except I was really hoping for a hh:mm:ss display (Glance only shows hh:mm).
Any idea why there don't seem to be any other watch faces that display more than 3 items of data?

You can use something like WatchMaker or Facer to design your own face with what you want. I use my own WatchMaker face to show seconds in bright mode but not in dim mode, for example, along with the date, a bunch of weather info, and both the watch battery and phone battery levels.

I tried both WatchMaker and Facer last year, but IIRC neither of them allowed more than 3 data items to be displayed (or at least only the first 3 actually worked). Have they evolved since last year?

I don't know about Facer, but I don't think WatchMaker has ever had that restriction. I've been showing all this stuff on mine for over a year. Back when I made it, I shared it here on XDA, if you want to try it out.

No limit with Watchmaker. You add all data you want.

I've just been trying Watchmaker. It looks great, but I can't it to display weather. I've tried manually setting the location and doing a manual refresh but it just won't retrieve weather data.
???
Maybe try one of the other weather providers in Settings. I use Yahoo weather, only because it seemed to respond quickest back when I first set it up. I don't think it has the most accurate weather.
Thanks - OpenWeatherMap seems to be the only one that fully works for me.

So I've started building some watch faces on Beautiful Watches which has an awesome watch design tool!

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

It looks good. And reminds me "executive" faces (most downloaded from facepro):
http://facerepo.com/app/faces/details/executive-red-148c4501608
ok now that they added weather, I am thinking about using BW as my main watch designer.
I have been playing with text effects today - here's what I have come up so far using the stencil and flat shadow effects.
You can use any picture you like for the stencil.

I have uploaded all the .watch files to the link at the top of the thread.
Please let me know what you think of my designs.
Another design - this time using shaders.
The face reveals itself every hour, then goes back to black!
Shader Reveal
The .watch file is in my first link. You can just change to your own photo in the background layer.
Got a new watch today - hope you guys enjoy these!
This one is called Sweepster as the lighter ring sweeps around the darker ring using a shader.
Get all my watch faces at the link above.
Here are some faces I designed for my Moto360 thanks to Beautiful Watches
With the latest weather and battery widgets, my "Android wear" style:
My "Motorola mobility" face:
My "Low Energy Cost" face:
My "Cartier" face:
Awesome faces - like what you did with the widgets!
I am also working on some faces with weather, but want to change the graphic for the new weather widget in Beautiful Watches - does anyone know how to do this yet?
These look really great! I've been messing around with it recently and have a few I should post up here. Nothing really fancy, but I like them.
They just changed the name of the app to watchmaker, too.
And a paintball one for HK Army
[WatchMaker] excellent
The app development on this is awesome!
I love this app, anyone else having issues with apps not shoeing up on the watch after the recent wear update?

My wear battery app crashes and for some reason another one of my apps starts the music instead of answering the phone lol!
The Classic Moto watch face includes appointment blocks on the clock face hour marks. Lately i have been having issues with appointments showing up as my entire day being busy (and i'm in the middle of the meeting). I thought it had to do with a reoccurring appointment that I administer. On Monday, my watch face look like it corrected itself but randomly around 7p it decided to go "full busy".
How it's supposed to look:

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",

}
How it currently looks:
i've tried deleting and recreating the appointment (which is painful because it goes to 126 recipients), changing the watch face and clearing the data on my calendar (on the phone). Has anyone else had this problem?
May be it's a single "all day" event ...check it out

you would think, but I don't have a single appointment in my calendar that is "busy". I have a reoccurring meeting, that is free, and shows as free in exchange/outlook/google calendar. Why would it just randomly go from "working" to busy in the middle of the day anyway?
Also, it "fixed" itself monday morning (as i expected) but after 7p, it broke and has been broken since.
i makes me think there's an issue with Android Wear and reoccurring appointments.
Check out your watch alarms. ..they are different from what you have set in the phone. .also check if you have any sleep mode like setting in any of the apps you have installed. .like chime every hour but sleep from 7pm onwards. ..
I meant. ..Just check your watch apps too

your watch controls its own alarms. have you gone in to the apps and checked to see if you have a timer/alarm set up ?

nope. no alarms. no apps. just basic m360 and whatever it comes with.
thanks for the input but i'm starting to think its actually something to do with the calendar. i just checked forward on a couple of other re-occurrences and they are correctly showing up as "free". they are also showing as a repeating series where as this one is showing as a one-week appt. not sure what's up with that.

Hi, how did you change the color of date? Also, mine doesn't get weather information. It stucked at 30. Do you have any idea?

I have already upgraded pro version at the beginning. I don't see any settings about text color. Also, weather information only updates if your location setting is set to high accuracy.
Here's a gallery of them I made: https://imgur.com/a/gdEpK Mostly WatchMaker, but a few I also made in Facer.
Muzei just released an update to allow it to work with Android Wear, although it does require the new Android Lollipop. Looks promising.
A friend of mine just got the update on his LG watch. I wonder when we will get it. Looking through a few threads here, looks like Google is in charge of all software dev for this watch, so I guess we just wait and see when well get it.
For now just using this:

You can't choose the color. They're preset watch faces.
Awesome minimalist face. It's from the Moto360 section of FaceRepo, but I don't remember the name of it.
It has smooth second, minute, and hour hands.
I present, "Fartier," an homage to the classic tank watch by Cartier.
I also created this as black lettering on a white background if anyone wants the graphic.
Do you know how can I adjust different size watchfaces to Zenwatch with Facer?
Here's mine. Put this one together with Watchmaker
Hello,everyone

Looks very nice, I'll be trying this one out for sure :good:
Will be great to see the date in ambient mode
does it have a "quartz" style second hand movement, or swiss/continuous movement? am only interested in faces that are sweeping/continuous.
edit: just saw the video. can you make the second hand sweep/be continuous?

This watchface looks real nice. One thing I have noticed is that since I have installed it yesterday morning the step count has not reset and is still going adding on to yesterdays totals. Is there an option I am missing to have this reset each day?
Other than that I have not seen any hit to the battery and everything functions great. Great job on this.
Another wonderful watch face created by Magic Watchface is already posted.Do you like it?

Cool!
Just noticed today that the Google Fit - Fit Activity App run tracker works on standalone gps on the sw3!
Seemed to work pretty well for me. Ghostracer has not been working so well for me last week or two so it came at a good time.
It does work very well indeed. The fit challenge is now in the fit activity app, but they should really combine all the functions in one app.
I think it's brilliant, saves having a whole load of other fitness trackers to sort through - finally all in one place with one app.
Just one fault/question - it is supposed to be able to track your heart rate if you have it on a Smartwatch, which the SW3 doesn't have. Instead I have the Jabra Pulse Sport for heart rate tracking, which has smart Bluetooth, but I can't for the life of me get it to connect to Google Fit.
Does it map your run for you on a map? Or just calculating distance, etc.

It maps it for you.
I found this out recently as well and have since uninstalled other run tracking apps
I use now endomondo, because of gps... however it doesn't pre-plot a route for you to follow, only plots where you've been. gtdRR, so you're saying fit does provide a plotted route? Wow, then I will install fit and try it.
update: The app was already on the watch, tried it but I never saw a map? Endomondo lets you see a map
How do you enable standalone gps on the SW3 for Google Fit?

you just start a Fit activity and it connects to gps automatically even when not connected to the phone.
I just find it strange the it always shows me a slower pace than ghostracer
How does it sync the GPS data after the run? In my case it seems to stay in the watch forever unlike Ghostracer, which syncs very nicely.
You are right, a 5km run can take more than 1 hour to be visible on the phone.
During this time, the run disappear from the watch, and you won't have any idea if the data is lost or not.
The experience is horrible.
But at the end, that's fine, after the frustration
Yeah have the same experience, has anyone find a easy way to export from google fit to endomondo as I have a challenge going on there? right now im using takeout.google.com but that takes for ever.
My Endomondo smartwatch app keeps uninstalling (non english setup). so I use google fit.
And lost a workout do to Endomondos faling sync.

This is what I got on my first test today
I just did 'Start Activity' on the phone.
It did track my distance, not sure what happened to GPS.
SAD PANDA
I can't find the "start activity " option on the watch. There is only open on phone option. Anyone else with similar problem?
Fit doesn't have one on the watch
Fit has a "start activity" button on the watch Otherwise there are also another app called "start activity" in the app list on the watch.
