I am using a curved text to display day/date. I have set the dimensions of the text to 450 x 450 and checked “Apply Curved-Text” and set the curved text dimensions to 430 x 430. The preview works great in the watch face studio but for some dates, the text is getting cut on the actual watch.
Usually reducing the font size helps with it but I do not want to do this.
I’ve also noticed this happening sometimes, and found that just adding space behind the text helps.
For instance, my curved text was “[HR] BPM”, which looked good in WFS, but on the actual watch it looked like “[HR] BP”.
Same issue with steps, text was “[SC] steps”, which showed “[SC] step” on the watch.
After changing the text to "[HR] BPM " and "[SC] steps ", the issue was gone.

Hi,
can anyone upload a .wfs file that dev team can check the issue which needs additional space?
You can change .wfs to .zip to upload it here.
@sinjae
Can you push this to the wfs dev team too ?
This is some wrong behavior of curved text when using withing custom complication (LONG_TEXT, SHORT_TEXT, RANGED_VALUE). Basically same as others wrote. Text being cropped (DOTTED) on watch
The ellipsis(DOTTED) for text overflowed in the complication is intended because watch face doesn’t know how long text will be put in the text of the complication.
But the issue you reported was a bug that wrong calculation the region of curved text in the complication.
It will be resolved in the next version of WFS as @phdzor mentioned.
Hello Ballozi,
I think the issue is resolved in 2021. The issue was on November 2021.
If you face the issue you can report it in the Samsung Developer Support Channel.
