BUG (WFS 1.0.3) - World clock - custom complications

Watch Face Studio
1

I cant tell if this bug was prior to this new release but it’s causing some serious problems for watch face users.

Reproduction

  1. Add custom complication - SHORT_TEXT / LONG TEXT
  2. Test on watch
  3. Set world clock as complication
  4. Change complication to something else like steps etc.

BUG - new text value will change to previous source - eg. you will have title - STEPS, text - 15:18 (from previous world clock complication)

  1. set world clock complication - 1
  2. set other complication - barometer - 2
  3. wait few seconds (data refresh - one minute) - 3 - BUG (TEXT value shows time)

Other complication remain intacted. As soon as you pick world clock, complication will remain “bugged” (till watch restart / watch face switch / reinstall)

Can any of the developers try and confirm it? Does anyone have a similar experience?

Hi,

Can you create a support request on this?
If you make the complication Fixed and not editable they should not be able to change the complication.

I agree.
When you try first it works
As soon as you change city or try setting other short complication to world, it shows long text style time.
Earlier i remember there were 2 world clocks options.
Now only one.

I recently updated the watch firmware so this is something related to firmware i believe.
Try your old Watchfaces, replicate below

  1. Select sunrise sunset save.
  2. Again enter customization select World clock n save
  3. The watch shows different layout

What did you do about this?
I can also raise but i need guidance as this hurts to all users including me… :wink:

My bad the prob you have mentioned is different

But currently i hv prob with World clock for short complication

What I see is
Long text complication has city with time on one line
Short text complication has City with time below that on a second line
But it appears it starts with local time zone exemplar and had to tap on it and it opened to the mobile setting then I had to tap on change to update to the phone setting
Neither really look good on my watch.

Is that what you are seeing.

amoledwatchfaces has created a Complications Suite that includes an improved World Clock I believe it works much better. I saw it mentioned as a solution for World Clock.

Hi Ron,
Thanks for replying… Yes previously for short complication of World clock, it used to show Text as Time and title as 3 char city name. e.g. regular globe icon, 02:35 pm as text and NYC as city.
But with latest firmware I see it shows New York as text, time as title.
This happens when you set it manually from complication. When we initially install watchface/ try from watchface studio, it works as previous firmware.
So people ask why my screenshots show perfect but then they set and it shows weird.

I also replied to Matteo’s bug thread.
