I got a fitbit Ionic recently and thought it would be fun to make my own watchface. I liked the "Gauges" one but thought it could use some modifications. I decided I would clone it as it would help teach me things like arcs and gradients. It all looks and functions properly in the simulator but on the watch it flashes and the screen colors go all cray cray. I feel like perhaps the simulator is not an accurate representation of the watch lol. My guess is it is likely an issue with the various masks being used for the Arcs and Font and such. I can provide code but if anyone has had similar issues I would love to hear how you solved them.
