Show Me Your (Clock) Face!

[Ynott]

I'm a bit underwhelmed when it come to the available Versa clock faces. Could you post yours and tell me where you downloaded it from? I'm very interested in clock faces that aren't in the Fitbit store.

What's the name of your watch face! I like it!

I have created two:
- Duality
- Gundam Cockpit

Did anyone help you with this to get it published on fitbit?

Hi
>From the online Fitbit studio, you are asked to publish (export) a single
file in order for you to upload to the Fitbit app gallery manager:
https://gam.fitbit.com/
Once logged in, you are to fill in all the information about the app/watch
face , then hit the publish button, there will be a team some where to
approve your app/watch face.
The only thing I am not so sure is that, I once published a watch face
using the SDK 2.0 (I simply didn't know anything about the differences), it
is later on a user told me that the watch face I published is not able to
install.
This shows the approval procedures may not involve the proof of
installation.

SDK 2.0 will generate clockfaces & apps that need the latest firmware, which hasn't rolled out to all users yet.  The Fitbit reviewers will have tested installation - if successful on a watch with that latest firmware, it will have been approved.  To make it available for all, right now, you would need to rebuild with SDK 1.0 and resubmit.

I wish all the best with users who is interested in my watch faces, they
are all using 1.0.

Just created this for myself. I was interested in learning how to build faces + wanted something super simple

[Ultick]

I would love to see your code! I am trying to learn to code, specifically to make my own clock face. I can't seem to figure out how to separate the hours and the minutes.

Hello @Ultick, I think my Really Basic source code (https://github.com/gpfrello/FitbitOS-Really-Basic) could help you. Feel free to post your doubts in the SDK development section of the community forum!

@Ultick

Inside the app\index.js

You may use the following to split up the Hour and the Minute within the "clock.ontick"

Hour value ->     myClockHour.text = ("0" + evt.date.getHours()).slice(-2);
Minute value ->  myClockMin.text = ("0" + evt.date.getMinutes()).slice(-2);

The name of the variables (left hand side of the "=") are up to your preference, don't forget to define them beforehand.

Your Watch face is neat and simple, try to enlarge the clock digits and make them overlap may give it some style  😉

[Ultick]

Thank you! I appreciate the resource 🙂

[Ultick]

This is a sketchup of my future clockface I hope to make, but unfortunately I am still in the very basic process of coding! Any tips, tricks, or other suggestions are welcome 🙂

[SunsetRunner]

Hi @Ultick

Nice and neat watch face, I like the over lapping style.
By the way, how do you make the weather display?

[Ultick]

I haven't actually made it yet. It's just a drawup of what I want to make. Right now I've got the time almost done and that's it.

[SunsetRunner]

@Ultick

XD You got me ;-D

@Ultick

Having said a little piece of weather looks nice, but I think again about the logic when I raise my watch to check, it is always something instant and real-time.

For weather, it is a tricky business, if I am in-door and about to go out for the day, I only need to know the weather for today; If I am already outside, for that raise-instance glance through, it would only be useful if it shows the coming weather instead of the current weather (cos I am already at it), but how further down the timeline the weather should show?

If it is just for the sake for displaying, that's fine.

This is the clock face i have been wanting! (Minus the fluid intake). Please build 🙂
