Is there a Distance tag?

Watch Face Studio

Is there a Distance tag? I’ve come from the FitFace environment and getting used to WFS !

Also as I’m new here, I’ve some other questions:

Q1. I’m an iPhone user… is there any disadvantage to creating watch faces in WFS? (is this even relevant?!)
Q2. How does one publish their watch face to a/the market place? and what are the commissions involved and what market place is it?
Q3. Is Watch Face Studio (WFS) only used for the Wearable OS platform? Which watches are these?
Q4. Whats the difference between [HR] and the 'Measuring HR tags?
have a load more but…

Welcome StarField

Is there a Distance tag? I’ve come from the FitFace environment and getting used to WFS !

Not at this time if you search the forum you can find a formula to determine distance from Steps but I think you have to open a health complication

Q1. I’m an iPhone user… is there any disadvantage to creating watch faces in WFS? (is this even relevant?!)

Not really relevant as Watch Face Studio doesn’t use any companion phone components.

Q2. How does one publish their watch face to a/the market place? and what are the commissions involved and what market place is it?

Galaxy Watch4 and newer are Wear OS powered by Samsung devices and distributed on Play Store. See this training for how to build and upload

Q3. Is Watch Face Studio (WFS) only used for the Wearable OS platform? Which watches are these?

Galaxy Watch4 and newer are Wear OS Powered by Samsung and sold on Play Store
Glaxy Watch3 and older were Tizen OS devices and sold in the Galaxy Store but you have to be a Watch Face Seller Partner and use Galaxy Watch Studio to develop them.

Q4. Whats the difference between [HR] and the 'Measuring HR tags?

[HR] is the heart rate reported the last time it was measured.
[HR_IS_MEASURING] is a binary 1, 0 that tells if it is being measured at that instance or not.

There is a code lab on using TAGS you might find useful the tags are listed in the Training too.

Hope this helps

Thank you Ron for your reply, its very much appreciated. I don’t own a Galaxy watch at the moment (waiting for their new releases!) so I currently cannot test my coding properly on a watch. I’ve been developing WF’s on FitFace which is very similar to WFS, same ternary code structure and tags… On FitFace, If I use (e.g) #ahr# which is their Heart Rate parameter, it will measure the sensor input continuously… no need for time of last measurement etc… How is WFS different?

thanks.

I’m not that familiar with Fit watches or FitFace app. I do know that Wear OS API 28 and higher ( AKA Wear OS powered by Samsung and Wear OS 3.x) are very different than Wear OS 2 in concept and application.
There is a health services API you can use but it is not integrated into Watch Face Studio you would need to develop with Android Studio to directly access that Health Services API
