Hi guys, I bought a Watch 6 because i heard you can make your own watch faces, etc. Anyway I made my own watch face to match my strap, I spent ages in photoshop creating each element but now that I am ready to upload to my watch it wont let me request a device profile.
The screen where the login should be is completely blank. It is seeing the device but I cannot get any further.
Is this application dead?
I think your are using the wrong software to create your watch face… for the watch 4, 5 and 6 you should use the Watch Face Studio (WFS)… here’s the link
On first you need pair and connect your watch to PC. Then you can build certificate
Once you have Watch Face Studio and you can run your watch directly on your watch without building or you can publish (build) your watch. When you start that you create a key and a key alias which accomplishes the same as Samsung Author and Distributor keys.

Wow yep. Totally using the wrong software haha I was using GWS not WFS. My bad. Just set it up and its all working.
Thanks for your responses guys.
it was helpful if there is a list what devices needs what software
Galaxy Watch Studio Overview
Now available for the Gear S3, Gear Sport, Galaxy Watch, Galaxy Watch Active, Galaxy Watch Active2, and Galaxy Watch3.
Watch Face Studio Overview
Watch Face Studio is a graphic authoring tool that enables you to create watch faces for the Wear OS smartwatch ecosystem. This includes watches like the Galaxy Watch4, which runs Wear OS Powered by Samsung.
I’ll ask if they can update this to say Galaxy/Watch4 and newer.

If i look at my Watch, there is NO Information if this Watch is a Gear 2, Gear3 or any Model what you mentioned here.
What i see:
Galaxy Watch (3707)
SM-R800
Serialnumber
Memory
The Galaxy Watch model had no number it is Tizen based and one of my favorite watches
You will want to Download Galaxy Watch Studio and unless you are a Mac user get the GWS 2.0 version that is a “previous version” there is a bug in the 2.0.1 that affects Windows users.
I hope that helps use the Galaxy Watch Studio for Tizen forum if you have any questions.

I did, and i have the same Problem to get the Distributor/Author Certs because of this
blank Dialogboxes.
For the Distributor-Certificate i get the same Dialog like this Picture below, for the Author-Certificate the blank Dialog comes at the Point where i have to log in with my Samsung Account.
If there is a Bug for Windows, i’ll hope that you fix it soon.
cheers

Hi Elmar,
When Galaxy Watch Studio was in production they used a Java library that was based on Internet Explorer for the Internet connection… Earlier this year Microsoft stopped all support for Internet Explorer and so the Seller Portal stopped allowing connections for it and that is why you can’t create an Author or Distributor Certificate.
Now you have 3 options.
Don’t bother with your personal custom watch face
Use a 3rd party watch face development such as Mr Time / Timeflix
Or if you want to use Galaxy Watch Studio for design you can download Tizen Studio and get the certificates using that and then package your app with certificates and use an old command line installer.
I’ll try to help you whatever you wish. Just open a new topic in the Galaxy Watch Studio for Tizen forum

Hello,
if u are not able to fix a 3rd Party Problem for your own Softwares, then i’m
possibly at the wrong Place at Samsung Developers.
Please close this Topic, i uninstalled all and never use it again.
cheers
I’ve asked them to remove the software site or at least clearly announce it is deprecated.
I can’t close the topic because others have posted in it.

I have the same issue. Blank log screen on certificate request window. I created a watch face for my Gear S3 a years ago and saved to *.gwd file. When I paired my Gear S3 with new phone, some watch faces disappeared even though I had an backup on cloud. Is there a way to import a *.gwd file to Watch Face Studio? And Can I upload watchface form Watch Fcae studio into my old Gear S3 ?

This is because Microsoft and as a result the Seller Portal no longer supports Internet Explorer
I created a watch face for my Gear S3 a years ago and saved to *.gwd file.
.gwd file is the Galaxy Watch Designer/ Galaxy Watch Studio file. the watch face itself is a .tpk file (Tizen Package) that is what is installed on the project.
When I paired my Gear S3 with new phone, some watch faces disappeared even though I had an backup on cloud.
When you pair to a new phone it is the same as a factory rest and any new apps have to be restored from the Galaxy Store or sideloaded again.
Is there a way to import a *.gwd file to Watch Face Studio?
And Can I upload watchface form Watch Fcae studio into my old Gear S3 ?
No to both, Watch Face Studio creates Wear OS app bundles .aab not Tizen OS .tpk files
If you have the .tpk files then you can try to install them using the Fit2Installer and generating the certificates with Tizen Studio.
There is a solution but it isn’t easy.
See this Topic
Depending on how much you love the watch face determines if it is worth the trouble.
