In the Galaxy Watch Studio there were options to apply rotation to a hand for a bunch of conditions such as the weather temperature and steps %.
They aren’t there in the Watch Face Studio. How can I create a gauge with a rotating hand according to the weather temperature or the step %?
All I see is Moon Phase conditions.
Also how can I add the weather temperature in text form? I don’t see a tag that can do that.
If this isn’t possible in the Watch Face Studio. Is it possible to use the Galaxy Watch Studio for WearOS?

Weather is not available with Watch Face Studio In GWS you could get a OpenWeatherMap.org API but that isn’t available in WFS. For Weather you would need to program using Android Studio and license a Weather API.
You can create your own dial (or copy one from the WFS resource sub folder and use the Tag [SC_GOAL] *3.6 in the rotation property setting.
There is a GWS TPK conversion tool but it is highly limited and will not let you move Weather complications to the TPK. It was just meant for a simple method to publish quickly in the Play Store and is pretty obsolete now.

Seems like it’s pretty complicated to edit the watch face in Android Studio. There are also no tutorials that I could find on how to do this.
I didn’t quite understand what you meant with copying the WFS resource sub folder and use the tag.
Could you explain more in detail and what this does?
How about adding a gauge with more simple information like steps?
Can this be done without Android Studio? Or if there are any tutorials out there you know, could you link me?
I hope the software gets updated with the same functionality GWS has, cause it would simplify things and help basic developers like me to create watch faces.

Add component
Add Ellipse it is about 100 pixels in the center
Add Image it opens Resources > Sample >Image folder
click on Sample and then open Watch Hand > Minute
use Watch_min_modern
Resize the hand to fit the circle image about 125 pixels total
Click on Rotate and on the little arrow at the end of the box open the tag
Use 3.6 * [SC_PER]
I think the Emulator has 10,000 for the target but it will work with whatever is set in the Watch for a target.
Group the Circle and dial and you can move it or resize it as you want
Of course you probably would use your own background for the circle.
You can also use Add component Ranged Value Circular and for the Value change it from 75 to 0 and then tag {SC_PER] for a gauge too.
Weather can not be done with WFS at this time it is really a licensing issue.

It has quite a bit but WFS is designed for all Android Wear Watches and therefore is limited to what Health information it can display or use as a default provider.
Hope this helps
