Combining Time AOD styles in Watch Face Studio

Hello, Ya I did try the file, deployed and works fine, I think my project file is corrupted so I’ll just start a new file and import everything in to a new file. Kind of odd how the corruption shows up like this.

Hope new file works fine. Else create a new bug topic

Or you could

create a support request

Hi, i took initiative to put my answer using your question as a example as a guide in a new topic.

@rollergold if u dont mind

Sure, go ahead, thanks for the help Knight :slight_smile:

It looks like you got this to work for you. Something to consider is when you sideload a watch face with same name I don’t think it always fully removes the older watch face and just writes over it leaving cached items and that sometimes causes it to work differently on watch than in the run window.

I try to remember to delete my watch face from the Watch before adding a new one.

Hello there, I actually factory reset my watch and setup it as a bone stock new watch and when I sideloaded the watch face after the reset, the issue remains so while the advice is very much valid, I’m beginning to think it might be project file corruption, the install of the watch face studio software or a combination of both causing this odd bug

How was redoing in another project?
Did it get corrupted again? @rollergold

If you factory reset it then it may not be Wear 4 version did you check for updates? If it is still Wear 3 device then WFS 1.5.7 may not work with it.

In Watch Settings make sure it is OneUI version 5 and Wear 4

Wear 3 connects with a different method

I dont think he has a connection problem or its the wear os version problem. As the wfs i passed to him works and a new project seem to work also.Maybe what @rollergold has to do is go to his build folders and delete the aab file and retry.

As far as i know factory reset doesn’t revert the firmware if its has been updated before the reset.

And as stated by @rollergold

the watch I’m using it on is a Watch 4 Classic (SM-R890) with the latest build Wear OS4 (Watch UI 5)

HI @Knightwing, thanks for your help on this issue , i have same problem, i understand what you told and everthing works fine, but is there any way where i can use digital clock as first AOD option and analog second. Every time I use the technique you show for masking make the digital clock as second option in styling but I want it as first option or two digital clocks option to select with different style and position, IS it possible?

If i remember is the order you do your styling
The first image will be the first view.
So probably add the transparent one first on the clock type u dont wan as default and vice versa

yeah i know that, it works on analog clock but i cannot figure out with digital clock. I want digital on first choice and analog clock on second option. Or two digital clock with different style. Please have alook.

Reversed the process what i mean…

Currently if you follow my instruction

You have something like this

  1. digital clock
    Style one (transparent mask)
    Style two (blue)

  2. analog
    Style one (hands as is)
    Style two (transparent mask)

3)merge

I asking u do change to
Create digital clock add blue mask
Then add transparent mask as addition style

For analog hands a little tricky. Can you mask hands? I forgot. If you can do the same like you do with the digital clock the mask is transparent first
Then choose the same hands and the second style of the mask

  1. digital clock
    Style one (blue mask)
    Style two (transparent)

  2. analog
    Style one (transparent)
    Style two (any mask typically the selected hangs)

  3. merge

If you cant mask hands.
You can add the three hands as a normal image.
Mask the hands accordingly. Then use tags to control the image to rotate the images like the hangs

Like me know if direct hangs masked is possible…if not i teach you the other method

Give me till weekend i try to make some screenshots of steps

Thanks for your help. I got it.
