WFS use pay off during current Facer conversion

I had a Galaxy Watch 4 and a Galaxy Watch 7. I used the GW4 to test Facer watch faces and I used WFS to duplicate those faces for my GW7 since it was not supported.

Now, Facer faces that used UTC tags are broken. GMT dials and hands all point to 0/24 on my new GW8 Classic.

Turns out I can take those faces I duplicated in WFS, generate a .aab file, and import it into Facer. Now those faces can be loaded on to my brand new GW8 Classic from Facer and UTC functions work.

You can send WFS faces Direct to your GW8. Why go through Facer .

In case anyone else would like these faces for their WearOS 6 watch. No one else will have made one of these - Tudza - FR Time WFF - watch face for Apple Watch, WearOS, Galaxy Watch, Pixel Watch, Huawei Watch, and more - Facer

and this one looks pretty good on the GW8 - Tudza - Daiji UTC WFF - watch face for Apple Watch, WearOS, Galaxy Watch, Pixel Watch, Huawei Watch, and more - Facer

And it does seem that this one is working properly on my new watch. Never made it in WFS, it would be a real pain.

Ha Ha . Yes I made a Biel Mean Time Face on Facer . Bit of a Niche Market . I did not expect many syncs . More for personal satisfaction .

It is not too difficult to port Facer Formulas to WFS . I was thinking we could use Bit Mapped Font but I have not thought it through .

Ah, forgot, WFS has no sunrise and sunset functions. The Roman thing pretty much requires those.

All the French Revolution and Internet Time faces I make I use UTC. No idea what the French used in 1790, the Swatch Biel standard for Internet Time was a goofy choice. So, the time on my FR watches matches the time on my site for Internet Time. That’s my standard, if you can call it that, for checking FR watch faces.

On WFS we have [WTHR_IS_DAY]. It reports 0 or 1 for night or day. It can be used to report Day or Night 15 hours hence apparently.

BTW part of the Science the French Revolutioaries did was to survey the planet incredibly accurately to establish the Meter . I think they had a good handle on the Astranomic method for thier Time base. We only need the UNIX Epoch Timer for our digital stuff really.

Not sure I can think of a way to use the 0 or 1 reported to do what is needed. I need the time between sunrise and sunset to calculate the length of a Roman hour of daylight.

I have no doubt the French of 1790s could tell time properly, I meant I do not know what they used for the meridian for French Revolution time. I selected UTC, but I imagine the French might have selected whatever ran close to Paris. I’ll have to look it up.

In China, everyone uses Beijing time no matter how far east or west they might be.

And those Swatch people used Biel for their Internet Time scheme because it was where their main office/factory was. Weird because GMT was the standard and I seem to recall someone complaining that Biel wasn’t really at a 15 degree mark.

Listen I am sorry we had guests . I forgot you had the Classic Roman Daylight that had a vsriable length . Yes the FR Meridian was Paris . I personaly think that Greenwich is not to bad as the strange things that happed on the Date Line happen at sea . I think Biel did away with any time Zones .
