Adding second UTC time on GW4

[to_1588276797]

I’m in the progress of creating a watch face. I’m having trouble with adding a second Time and would like it in UTC. I added the time, but when I put the UTC Offset tag ([HOUR_1_24_Z]:[MIN_Z][TMZN_OFS]), it shows current time with +5 beside it. I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong or doing right

I also would like to have the baro reading from the sensor on the display and the battery % to change color at certain % of battery. I had all these setup on my GW3, but can’t figure it out in the latest version of studio.

Hello. The offset tag provides text string, which cannot be used in calculation.
I guess you would have to use UTC timestamp. Check topics below for some clues.

Negative rotation with time zone offset

Hi, I’m trying to make a reverse UTC lookup index for the UTC index in my watchface that works as a “decoder ring” to tell me what local-time hour corresponds to a given UTC-hour. The gray is the local time wheel, it is supposed to rotate, but my tag-expression is not having any effect. [image] The tag expression I’m using: -[TMZN_OFS_WITH_DST]*15 (the math might be wrong, but that’s easy to check later). This is what I want to happen if I am in, for example UTC-5, where local midnight is …

Progressbar range

I would like to have 3 progressbar (battery) one over each other. the range of the first one is 0 to 20, second 21 to 80 et third 81 to 100. so i put in color % the formula [BATT_PER] <=20? 100: 0 for a red color the on second i put ([BATT_PER] >20) * ([BATT_PER] <=80) ? 100: 0 for white and the last one going to be [BATT_PER] >81? 100: 0 for green. the problem is that the red disapear when progressbar 2 (20 to80) appear i want something like red white and green, and when the battery goes …

About the baro, you will be probably disappointed with the “WFS philosophy”

Watch Face Studio Feature Requests

This is not the philosophy behind Wear OS Powered by Samsung (aka Wear OS 3) nor Watch Face Studio. See the**documentation on Complications** The philosophy for WFS is to have a tool that designers can use to create Personalized Watch Faces with a standard user interface that is compatible with all Wear OS 3 devices. As for barometric pressure and other sensor information. WFS may be able to access and create tags based on sensors. I can add Tags for Barometric pressure as a request but if…

If you’ve made a slot for a complication, you can add Freetown to your list of locations and have that pop up as a choice. If you’re just adding hour/minute hands, you can set them to be synced with Freetown instead of your device.

If you are trying to make something like a CCW rotating ring of world cities for a world timer (I have, hehe, I saw Patek Philippe’s world timer and had to have that complication) you can hack around TZ and STD/DST issues with this.

I’ve formatted the line for readability, but you can paste it into a tag field. What it does is basically compare your offset with your offset during DST to determine if there should be an extra hour. If you never move in parts of the world that have DST, congratulations, you don’t have to worry about this.

(
  floor([UTC_TS]/1000/3600) % 24) 
  + (
       (
         ([TMZN_OFS]!=[TMZN_OFS_WITH_DST]) ? 1 : 0
       )
    )
)

TIP: add your local time hour to the above to make local time be at the top of the ring.

Not WFS philosophy but Wear OS philosophy.
See Principles of Wear OS Development. While that is mostly about Android apps, it is a good thing to understand the philosophy of Wear OS. Android is not much into personalization.

Thanks for all the replies. I just went with keeping it simple and for my UTC I just added a Small Text and complication of world time. Now I think my battery % is not showing accurate. Been at 44% for almost 2 hours. It does show the increase when I charged it for a bit.

I’ve noticed that Battery % will stay at one level for some time then seem to have a quick reduction (right now I’ve been on 94% for hours) you can check it in the settings for Battery and see if that is the same.
