I could not figure out if switching the bezel art on Tap could be done by 1 minute increments and then 5 minute increments so I decided I could live with just the 5 minute steps.
Well, turns out the change image action only supports 10 images, so I can only advance the bezel to 45. Annoying.
Tried to work around that by putting in a second bezel for 50 and 55, but that didn’t work out. At least, it didn’t work out the way I tried to do it.
I want the bezel to rotate when I tap the watch. There is an action for changing an image on tap. That presents you with an option to select images to change to on each tap. That does what I want given I will accept a rotation of five minutes each tap.
That would be fine except the number of images you can switch between is limited to 10, which only gets you to 45 minutes.
To be clear, the images I am switching to in order are images of the bezel rotated by five minutes in succession. You’ve seen a diver’s watch with a rotating bezel for timing by setting zero to where the minute hand is?
It is possible to have a rotation by one minute and a rotation by five minutes by tapping different parts of the screen. I’ve seen watch faces that do this. In Facer they all seem to require paying for the Pro tools. In Watch Face Studio it seems from other comments that this might no be possible.
The Tap area is as big as the Image and square . Sadly they can not be superimposed , so only one . You can tap an animation to start it . May be you could show a little move to tell the story .
This is what I discovered. My attempted work around was to add a second bezel and the remaining rotations I wanted. I moved the first out of the area to expose the second based on time in minutes. Worked sort of, but didn’t do the job. Broke at various points, but of course the main one was when minutes got to zero again. Would have needed logic to say, “Don’t switch to the first yet, the second set is still engaged.” but I couldn’t find such a thing.
So without looking at it closely . I can only say when you are crossing Zero you need to use OR in your conditional which is + on WFS . The only way I could help is to look at your work if you want to post it here .
This file has the initial test with the second ring and the version with the larger bezel where I just kept the 0-45 ring and actually put it on my watch. The Rotating Bezel Test file has the second 50,55 ring. Note that the X Y placement for that has a tag expression to move it in and out of the active face area.
The suggestion to test the state of the second ring is a good one but as I say I couldn’t figure out how to get the state of the rotated ring.
Yes I see what you have done . Good work . But the setting for the angle of the Bezel is dependent on the minute in the hour . So however you set the 0 to 45 the other will show after . You could archive the same by putting a tag in the angle Field of the bezel . So it shows one set 0 to 30 the other 30 to 59 . If I were you I would cut my losses and have the bezel adjustable by 10 minutes . If the Bezel had a PEPSI look to it at least the user could have it personalised . The start of a Yacht Racing has a Ten minute GUN before they start .
I will make a test on your WIP to show you what I mean about changing the angle . bear in mind that it would always have to be set at the right segment of the minute .
Your other issue will be that you can not have any other Tap areas for comps .

Didn’t think of using half the required positions and adjusting the image rotation angle according to the time. Once I added the ring with the red 0 at 30 minutes to your example it does what I was after. Cuts having to tap through the first half of the dial for minutes above 30 too which is a bonus.
They don’t want us to make smarter faces than the WFF Coders make with Real Code only . They are more hapoy that Vlever stuff is achived by Apps that people have to buy . They have to make some money some how or they could not afford to give a free platform away . We have lots of stuff that Facer has not . But hold tight they have just recently got the Weather going for Us . Here we can have forecasts by the hour . You know how important that is .
I noticed a report recently saying " Showers in the Vicinity " we need to make sure we have space for that .
Back in time before they enforced the WFF and ruined third party stores, I suspected them from protectionism. Like it would give here for free something, that somebody else is selling as premium. But since WFF ruined such business models, I think they just do not care to give people such “mighty” option in a user friendly program, using same excuse for years, that it was out of scope of “mere designers tool”. Who would ever wanted to learn other (proper) developer tools, if everything were possible with this one?
Here we had nice discussion about user variables some years ago in feature request thread
