How to implement a compass as an index

Watch Face Studio
1

Hello All,

I know the user can select the compass complication if supported by the watch but I am looking a way to implement the compass as it’s like an index as shown;

As far as I know this is not possible using WFS, you need to design using Android Studio.

I want this too! :frowning: (so +1 thanks for the suggestion of using different software, i guess i’ll try that too!)

Samsung, please consider adding this to your ‘WatchFaceStudio’ software so that i don’t have to start over on my custom watchface in some other piece of software! Thanks!

I suspect it could be done in WFF (not WFS) by using a compass complication that returned heading as text, and connecting that to a full-screen complication slot with custom XML.

Alternatively, write a complication that serves the compass image you want, and use that image in WFS as a full-screen IMAGE or PICTURE complication.

And what should that index do? Just stand there and look fancy? Because what is shown on the image is marking minutes and 1/4 minutes instead of actual degrees, and that can be easily arranged. Unzip this example and open it in WFS to check.
