Allow third-party clock faces in all EEA countries

[Warnars]

Previously you could choose from multiple watch faces. In one, everything was gone, including my dial. I would like to see the watch face again with: Digital day, date and time, heart rate, battery status, number of steps, number of stairs, calories, weather and temperature.

Hi @Warnars - if you live in the EEA Google deny you access to any non Fitbit clocks or apps.

I want more clock faces, and to be able to download whatever apps someone in the world thinks up. I also want to use Apple Music and not only YouTube music. I want water reminders. And other customizable reminders that I could make up. I want more freedom and personalization potential. And I want to pay for some creative stranger to do it for me

Hi @Mallorydionne - it depends on where you live.

Google denies access to non Fitbit stuff for EEA users since July but it's still available if you use an IP address from a non EEA country (see VPN)

I use SimpleClockPro which has adjustable multiple move reminders, drink reminders (can be used as a counter for other things or a quick basic timer), shows steps to do (or done) per hour, you can see it in action on YouTube.

Later models lost features of former models which also had built-in Music controls. In addition it seems future development has now stopped.

Today my watch face suddenly blacked out and didn't show any longer in the watches.
Tried to change back to another one just to find out that my favorite one was deleted and is no longer available

[FabseM]

and just discovered that non of the new faces has the battery % showing... not that a smartwatch needs to be charged or I'd like to know if the watch makes it trough the day or not...
