Is there a way to shake watch to show text or image?

Not sure if it’s possible, but I am looking for a function where some info (for example date or step count) is invisible by default, but if the user shakes the watch, it would come visible for a few seconds.

Alternatively, make text / image visible for a few seconds after screen is awake. I couldn’t find a built in variable that measures how long the screen has been awaken for.

Another alternative would be tap to show for a few seconds.

Is any of these possible or that’s too much for WFS?

What you need to do is have an image that is the same as the background use the gyro motion to cover uncover it

Alternatively, make text / image visible for a few seconds after screen is awake.

You can create an animation that has 30 clear frames then loops with background color

Another alternative would be tap to show for a few seconds.

You can have a tap to uncover and tap to cover again using a clear or background image to mask it.

Hope this helps.
