Same thing with the other Parameters . A clue can be the number on the top right of the tag box . I thought Peter covered that earlier .
Sunrise Sunset is a function of Weather not time the reason there is not tags is the weather information requires a license. Samsung and Google license the Weather Channel for weather information but they are not allowed to redistribute it. In GWS you could license Openweathermap.org and use that for a limited number of accesses for free.
For health data that is strict privacy regulations and in GWS since the watches would use Samsung Health only it was able to use the Health API and know that all the tags were accessible. But with WFS the health information may not be available on all Smart Watches. A change was made in WFS 1.4.20 and it now uses Health Services and Samsung Health shares data with Health Services so hopefully more of the Health data will be accessible. (Note you need to enable permissions to share Health with Health Services).
I hope this helps some.

Do you think it’s likely there will ever be anything like the Tizen studio for Watches 4 and above? Something better than WFS but less daunting than Android Studio?

There is it is called WFS it is much more powerful than GWS. The issue isn’t GWS vs WFS it is Tizen OS versus Wear OS and being Galaxy Watch specific and support for all watch vendors.

I tend to agree with Ron, on this one. Because of the fact that it’s no longer one brand, but multiple brands using WearOS, for better consistancy, WFS needs to be as generic as possible. It, being a designer software, and only that, becomes somwthing much easier to maintain.
We’re already having problems with a few complications, since WearOS 4 dropped, including Samsung Weather. There would be no end to the amount of complaints if they added a function here that works on one Firmware but doesn’t on the other. (Because the APIs and minimum SDKs tend to change between big firmware updates.)
Adding new functions, you need to use Android Studio and make complications from it. It’s not that difficult with some decent programming knowledge. The documentation also explains how they work and gives you a rough idea of how you can pull data from the source you want, and print it on the screen.

Thanks for your help everyone. I’ll take a look at Android Studio.

Hey Ron . Thanks for filling me in . I know most of this but I will not stop wishing . I know that we can show sunrise or sunset on our watche s. Sadly we can not show both for some reason . Any way . Even with Android studio , Kotlin and the rest it is not possible to use the SR SS data to make say a SR to SS arc on the Display Face .
This is similar to my requirement also.
