Very Good Work Guys But We Can’t Use The Watch In Greece Because The Greek Language It’s Not Invaluable

Any updates on this masterpiece? Just one question: Can you create Anything or are there some limitations?

@RapidZapper are we getting any updates? I check this post almost every day. Is this still a work in progress? I’m waiting for the 2024 release. If not, could you at least provide an update? I see you’re pretty active, so please reply.

    HatmaSelv i check this everyday too, and yes he has updated with the text saying that he will update in the following weeks on this thread. Im so excited to have the watchface i always wanted!!

        Interlastic i have followed this discussion, and everytime I get a mail from this title, it excites me only to be later disappointed 🙁

          HatmaSelv Hey

          Unfortunately I’m not looking at 2024 for a release anymore, I’m mostly holding on this since we don’t have an “official” way to install resulting files which would make the experience frustrating for end users.

          Lot of progress have been made since this initial announcement so it’s only a matter of finding a good way for users to install Community files.

          Hopefully I should have more to share in 2025

              I will probably post a progress update in the coming days, before the end of the year with more details about the progress of the project

              Apologies, I don’t have the time to read the whole thread here, but I have a couple of questions about this idea. First, will this be available to watch 1 as well as 2?

              Second, will we be able to choose what features we wish to have on these future watch faces? What I mean is this. Because the distance you do in miles or Kms has been removed from the App, the only way to check this information is to have a watch face that displays it. Sadly for the watch 1 which I have, there’s only 1 that shows this information, but it doesn’t show the battery level. So having a customisable watch face would be a great addition. (Apologies if this isn’t the sort of thing that is being planned though)

                MarkG13 Since he isn’t replying rn, i can answer myself 😃

                For both watches yes.

                He hasn’t said anything about that yet, but I imagine it has all the features a normal watchface can have.

                    Interlastic It should indeed have support for most features you can have on a watchface, lot of specifics I can’t detail yet but it should be really complete in the end

                        RapidZapper Thank you for your reply, I look forward to seeing what you are planning when it’s ready. If it will be possible to customise a watch face with the features you want it will mean I might not need to continue my quest to have the distance in miles or Kms restored to the app.

                        Also, thank you Interlastic for your earlier response, I appreciated it.

                          RapidZapper it’s only a matter of finding a good way for users to install Community files.

                          Gadgetbrigde has an option for uploading files. Could you share information about the file structure of a watch face or even a watch face file?

                              jak2k That’s an option i’m considering but it’s certainly not the best way for the average user to install these since you still need to get on some stuff that aren’t easy for everyone

                                Hey,
                                A quick update on the project progress.
                                Since my first post, Watch Pro 2 was released, and good news it should be compatible since it simply use an updated version of the watchface system used on Watch Pro 1.
                                Watch Pro 2 got some new features on the Watchface system and we’ll explore that part next year.
                                For now focus in on Watch Pro 1 with a lot of progress.

                                • Our first Watchface made from scratch for Watch Pro 1

                                  This Watchface is based on Mysticat, an original Watchface concept by @BrandonPaul for Pebble


                                  It use some of the different mechanics we can now use like:

                                  • Display elements during a certain interval (6 different cats will be shown at an interval of 10min)

                                  • Display digital clock with our own font

                                  • Display a static background

                                    This is very basic but an amazing PoC to test our capabilities and understanding of the watchface format.

                                • Another major project is Watchface studio

                                  While we weren’t able to deliver it this year as planned, we made some progress on a core part, the preview part, it’s a simulator that should be 1:1 to the Watch behavior once completed, it’s working on the web and use local elements like your PC time to preview a realtime configuration, you can also set custom values for the various element shown on your watchface to test it without having to send the watchface to the watch to get a preview.


                                  As you can see above, this is a preview of the simulator, we’re still working on the details but it’s mostly ready at least for Watch Pro 1, Watch Pro 2 will be part of it later next year.

                                  This tool is a core part to help define specs of the watchfaces for the upcoming edition tools.

                                • How do we install watchfaces?
                                  Well that’s the main problem we’re facing right now, while there is some alternative solution to install watchface, they involve Root/Adb log which isn’t an easy solution for everyone especially for those without a PC, we’re working on that topic and we’re trying to find a solution to get any CMF Watch owner in the Community either as a developer or as a user.

                                  See you next year!
