For a second there I thought you actually accessed the bios on the watch and it looked like that haha.
Awesome!

βHey, what watch is that?β
Me: βAmerican Megatrends.β
ββ¦β
Me: βitβs EnergyStar compliant.β
okay, I admit I like it
Looks neat, but I think the actual time display is way too small to be useful.
Looks like the same watch I have. Where do I get this?
It sure is

Those are some nice looking arms
Did you stop to consider that they might be an amputee on the other side, and that your pluralization of the word "arm" is causing immense emotional pain and turmoil right now and that the watch face is digital and has no arms. No. You only think about yourself. /S?
I've used Facer, it's worth the cost if you like accessorizing regularly. It has a lot of options from indie artists, including replica OG Disney Mickey Mouse. My watch always complains about not being able to save power with 3rd party faces though, and the battery life drops about 40% to 72 hours. Worse with Facer because it's an app that's no doubt doing more than facilitating watchfaces.
Hehe. In my original Moto 360, I would be lucky to make it through one day with Facer running. Was good fun though.
Google is pushing towards WFF (Watch Face Format) styles. The new Wear OS 5 watches, IIRC, (not the upgraded ones) didn't even support Facer or Watchmaker initially.
The Watch faces published on Play Store, majority of them, are now in WFF format which translates to improved battery life as well.
What watch is it by the way? I haven't moved into the realm of wearables yet. Maybe next year will be my year to start
Mine is the galaxy 4 classic

Def worth upgrading to the 6 classic or even 8 classic
I dount I will be upgrading anytime soon. And not to a samsung. I hate their stupid app. Cannot even backup the watch properly anymore
Why? I don't use gmail, so i cannot see emails. Don't care about the health tracking stuff.
Wow. Didn't think I'd get nostalgia flashbacks from a watch face but here we are.
My coworker likes it and wants to know where this can be found.
I thought this was templeos
Wow, there's a reference I didn't think I'd come across. Did you ever try using it? I was curious but never did...didn't have a use case for it.
Advanced
What would the advanced options do?
Oh wait, settings. Then Boot would launch apps.
Probably.
I really wish the Apple Watch were this customizable. This is so cool.
I'd prefer to see more things like if it's going to rain soon and other meteorological parameters, but love the look
This feels like a recipe for screen burn, but I assume whatever elements the watch uses for pixels don't do that, and it's just the bad side of nostalgia making me feel that way.
If you never change what's on the screen, you'll never notice the burn-in
taps head π§
I've been using the always-on display of my OLED smartwatch 24/7 since 2022 (Samsung Watch 4 Classic). Burn-in is a non-issue. The watch face goes into AOD mode when you're not looking at it; I'm not sure which burn-in protection features are being used but they work well cause I can use the same watch face for months at a time without any signs of burn-in.
notes: Facer is a little bit of a PITA to install, follow the instructions very well.
GW4: It eats about twice as much battery as my normal faces, but I'm still lasting the day.
The text is WAY too small, but it's pretty fun.
I feel like the only person in the world who uses a regular analog watch face (and uses the always on display setting) so that my watch actually looks like a watch.
(Is it true that Gen Z and younger can't read analog clocks? Might explain this behavior.)
I feel like the only person that can't stand to wear a watch. Until cellphones came out, I just got really good at estimating the time.
I feel you but for me the body tracking features make it worth it. If you're a Fallout fan, it's like having a real-life PipBoy. The only thing missing is VATS.
I specifically bought a smart watch for that purpose, first watch I've bought in over 20 years, and it sits there and gathers dust because it's so annoying to have something hanging on my wrist. I might also be less wigged out by them if I could put my own OS on it instead of having the Google spyware only.
My watch face is always analog, but that's mostly because it's an analog watch.
What's the added value of a smart watch here?
I like it for notifications. I can see if a text or notification is important without getting my phone out. Also can see who's calling without getting my phone out.
It saves you getting your phone out.
Well I'm a statistics nerd, so I like all the sensors on the watch for sleep and health tracking. I can see exactly how long I slept in each phase, track my snoring, stress levels, muscle mass, body fat, and body water; compare calories burned to calories consumed, make sure my heart is being correctly with the ECG, check my pulse and blood pressure. And that's just the tip of the iceberg.
It's basically like having a PipBoy IRL (it even has the light!). And to me that's really fucking cool. Only feature missing is VATS.
Sounds like a tamagotchi, but for keeping yourself alive :)
How does it track calories consumed? Or isthat something you do seperately?
Yeah I have to enter the food I eat manually. But it's not difficult cause all I have to do is either scan the barcode or take a picture of my meal and then quickly verify that it identified everything correctly.
And FWIW I only log my meals when I'm trying to lose weight. Which is right now.
I tried to do that some time ago, but got bored of weighing everything. Is taking a picture generally enough to estimate weights and stuff? I remember it made a lot of difference if a salad has an oil dressing for example, or how much peanut butter you put on a sandwich.
Yeah I'm not that precise. Just like when cooking, I don't weigh anything. I use my experience to make a rough estimate.
I'm confident that getting close enough with my measurements (maybe even overestimating a bit) because my weight loss currently tracks with what I'm expecting to lose, given what I'm eating (aimed to lose a pound per week, currently losing ~1.3lb). And close enough is good enough for me.
Here's mine.


I like how you have three complications all set to the date. That's fucking funny man.
Anyway here's mine:

Wouldn't surprise me if many young people can't, I'm on the edge between millenial and gen z and reading an analog clock always needs some active effort. I've always preferred digital so I never really had to read analog clocks besides the one that hung in our kitchen and that one time I had a watch. Oh and the train stations still all have analog.
Kitchen clocks, if they aren't just the oven or microwave, are probably becoming rarer, so when your watch is also digital, you'd never really encounter analog if it's not somewhere in the public space, which will probably depend on where you live.
I'd guess most kids probably still can read one with effort because at least when there's a second hand (since you can easily see it move) it's kinda self explanatory, and it probably got explained in school once.
ok damnit, i'll install facer :)
That was a little bit of a fight to install, but not miserable.
Wish the font was a touch larger and it would be cool to have some complications.
still, pretty fire.
