Worked. Thanks.
Still cracks me up when I see these "free electronic watch faces".
Thanks OP
If I ever buy an Android wear watch, I'll have a good collection of watch faces 😂
And a tremendous amount of disappointment
Why?
Because Wear OS is just so disappointingly shit. Be surprised if it sees 2024.
@hotphil: That's not a proper answer. I have a WearOS watch and I see nothing wrong with it, in fact I started developing apps myself for it.
Can you point to a specific problem or missing feature?
@webkit: I gave up on Apple watches due to the bad battery life, moved onto Wear OS which was ever worse - terrible when compared to Apple watch OS. Finally moved onto Harmony OS and I'm loving it so far. two weeks of battery life - can't ask for more!
@YouSirName: That's a reasonable concern. I charge mine every night alongside my phone, so it's not something that matters much to me.
@webkit: Random reboots, Assistant needs phone set to EN-US to even do basic functions, can't SMS or call from Assistant, notifications sometimes work, voice-wake for Assistant doesn't work, my model has reports of dubious waterproofing, Google removed double-tap to launch Pay/Wallet, battery life sucks, Google required my model to have its compass disabled for some reason, support being withdrawn for apps (assuming it was there in the first place e.g. Strava dropped support for Wear OS 2 over a year ago, Google have never even been committed enough to write a GMail app). No apps from major social/comms firms. That's off top of my head.
Then specifically for Pixel watch - years-old hardware, a design some would consider too feminine, massive bezels, proprietary straps, poor battery life. To the point they're already giving them away free with phones in some markets just to shift inventory.
Google fixed all the issues with Assistant in Wear OS 3 by just removing it. Except for Samsung watches. Google have had only one P2 level bug for Wear OS in their publicly-available for Wear OS 2. It's for Assistant. It's been open for over 2 years with no update from them. That's how seriously they take Wear OS.
It's a hobby project for Google, at best. Despite their product head stating they're "fully committed" to it a couple of months ago. As they did previously they'll just kill it off soon.
@hotphil: I've been lucky enough to have the Galaxy Watch 4 with WearOS 3 so I haven't experienced a lot of these issues. I can see that would be pretty frustrating.
As for the app support, I do agree it is disappointing how few apps there are available, although coming from the Tizen Galaxy watches, that was even more abysmal, so it seems decent on WearOS by comparison.
As a developer, it feels like they have been putting in decent work, with Jetpack Compose UI for WearOS. I guess it's that typical chicken and egg problem, nobody wants to develop apps if the userbase is low, and nobody wants to become a user with the poor app selection.
I do agree that the Pixel Watch is a joke, especially considering how expensive it is in Australia. The Galaxy Watch is the only decent option.
@hotphil: "Then specifically for Pixel watch"
Here is another issue with the Pixel watch. The digital crown is supposed to work in all the default apps, and third party apps that "support" it.
But the watch regularly forgets the crown function is there even in it's own default apps! It just randomly decides to stop working, then start working again whenever it feels like it.
I can accept it not working in third party apps, some kind of issue on the developers end. But when a flagship product from such a big company can't even make their own hardware work properly in their own developed apps it's a big head scratcher.
