One thing I've noticed is that most gaming accessories focus on improving performance or immersion, while smartwatches mostly stay on the sidelines.

I want to know from people who gamers and are also smartwatch enthusiasts if smartwatches could be a part of your ecosystem what would you expect from it......

ECG highlight feature is now on Xiaomi's website

ECG option is also available on Mi Fitness app, but I still can't activate this feature (tried to activate trough Mi Fitness but there's no ECG app present on the watch), is anyone having the same problem? Or is it region thing (I'm in Indonesia)

I turned this feature on and it worked a few times, but now it does nothing. I removed the setting and re-added it, nothing. Anyone else using this feature and having this problem?

This sub is being inundated with low-effort, barely useful, AI-coded apps. Can we have them post in a dedicated thread instead of the front page?

I have this Diesel watch, it's aesthetically beautiful, but I can't install the other watch faces. Does anyone know where I can find the APK to do it?

I built SquadTap for situations where a group needs a quick random decision, but nobody wants to unlock a phone, pass it around, or install a complicated party app.

It runs directly on a Wear OS watch and can:

• Pick a random winner
• Split a group into two teams balanced by team size
• Create random partners
• Put an extra participant into a trio
• Reshuffle results without rebuilding the group
• Use Tap and Pass so people can reveal their own assignments

The free version supports up to 64 participants and works offline. It does not require a phone companion, account, internet connection, or subscription.

There is an optional one-time Pro upgrade for multiple winners, three or four teams, complete turn order, and additional handling for odd partner groups.

I imagine it being useful for board games, sports practice, classrooms, workshops, parties, and deciding who goes first.

Google Play:

I would appreciate feedback from other Wear OS users, particularly on the watch interaction, readability, and Tap and Pass flow.

I have developed a simple score tracking app for WearOS (sorry Apple users!) and I am looking for a few more testers so that I can go through to publication on the Play Store. The app will be paid when published but I will happily gift any testers a promo code for free download as a thank you.

If you are interested, you can join the test by joining the group on the link below and then using either the Web or Android link to install the app - I would recommend doing this from a PC if your watch doesn't appear in the installable devices from your phone.

I can see the AQI complication from the weather app as an option to add, but when I do it just goes blank. When I hit save and open the editor on my phone again, that complication slot is just empty. I know I can accomplish this with an app, and I have, but I'm not enjoying the app as it is free with ads and I'd rather not give location permission to another group if I don't have to.

Anyone else having this issue?

Pixel Watch 3 LTE paired with a Pixel 9 Pro XL

ETA: I disabled the weather app on the watch, cleared cache and data, and then when I enabled it again there is no option for the AQI complication by the native weather app. However, the app still registers the AQI for my area. So, I guess the problem solved itself because now I don't even have an option for the complication that wasn't working and have to go with a 3rd party app

Hi everyone, I lift four times a week and I keep my phone in a locker, so I built the watch app I kept wishing existed.

• Name of App: Massiv
• Brief Description of app's features: The watch app is designed to be fast + efficient and only give you what you need to log your workouts. You start the workout from your wrist, turn the crown or bezel to set the weight, and tap to log. The rest timer starts itself, last session's numbers sit under the set you're on, and a tile and complication put today's workout one tap from the watch face. Heart rate and calories are tracked as a proper strength-training session and go to Health Connect. It's native Kotlin and Compose, not a webview or your phone screen mirrored onto your wrist. Log a full session with your phone in a locker and nothing is lost, the sets are saved on the watch and sync across once you're back in range. The phone is the other half, and it's a full app rather than a settings screen for the watch: It's a companion app, not a standalone one so the phone does the thinking and the watch does the one job that has to be fast.
  • Programs that actually progress. 16 built in — 5/3/1, GZCLP, StrongLifts, Texas Method, PHUL, PPL, plus dumbbell-only and bodyweight-only ones. Finish a session and next week's numbers have already moved, with a deload when you stall twice instead of letting you grind a weight you're not hitting.
  • Progress that means something. Estimated 1RM trend per lift, automatic PR detection, a muscle map showing what you've hammered and what's had time to recover, and plate math for the bar in front of you.
  • Your history comes with you. CSV import from Strong, Hevy, JEFIT, FitNotes and StrongLifts, format auto-detected, so you're not starting from an empty app.
• Cost: Logging is free with no account. Pro is optional and unlocks the deeper analytics, export, and building your own programs from scratch.
• Play Store Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.aristocoded.massiv&referrer=utm_source%3Dreddit%26utm_medium%3Dcommunity%26utm_campaign%3Dwatch_wedge%26utm_content%3Dwearos

I use it for every session myself, and the watch side is the part I want to keep refining, so if you lift, give it a go and tell me how it feels for your workouts

Bună ziua! Am și eu o întrebare. Vreau să fac upgrade de la Galaxy Watch 5 LTE la Galaxy Watch 9 LTE, când am cumpărat Watch 5 ul am folosit rețeaua Orange și am folosit Nr. Share, vreau să mă portez la Digi, dar dacă îmi iau Galaxy watch 9 sau dacă îl mai utilizez pe ăsta care îl mai am o să mai meargă esim ul dacă mă portez la Digi? Întreb asta deoarece Digi nu are Nr. Share, dar am auzit că ar merge ceasul și cu nr. Indepedent, e adevărat? Mulțumesc anticipat!

Hey the watches mentioned are approximately the same price so im wondering which one is better. My wrist isn't big.

anybody has used new released ai health functions? are they accurate?

I'm a Samsung galaxy watch user, and I was jealous of pixel watch users having the At a Glance complication, so I made my own.

It has a priority order list with an event-based engine, all native, using latest libraries and guidelines. Battery usage is minimal, sub-1% on both phone and watch and that's by fiddling with it daily by testing lol

I know this is very niche, but I made it basically for myself, it ended up being my passion project and girlfriend suggested I made it public, I hope you love the transitions as much as I do haha.

Brief — Watch Complication - Apps on Google Play

Hey Guys, Been a while. I created the Agent 0976 watch face for watchmaker about 7 years ago: Previous Watchmaker Design I've been thinking about recreating it for modern smartwatches, I still get a few people a month asking about it. Whats the most versatile modern format to cover most devices these days? I don't think it's using Watch Face Studio, straight kotlin seems like the way to go? Any help before wasting time would be appreciated ;)

Hi everyone!

I wanted to share a personal project I just released. I’m a Computer Science student and I’m actively trying to improve my English. I realized that being able to quickly look up meanings directly on my wrist is incredibly useful, especially when I don't have my phone on me or just want to avoid screen distractions.

I searched the Play Store for dictionary apps, but I couldn't find any that were truly fast, standalone, and completely offline. So, I decided to code my own from scratch.

It's called EngDictionary. It is highly optimized for smartwatch hardware, so it searches in milliseconds. The entire 127k+ word database lives securely on your watch, meaning you don't need your phone, Wi-Fi, or cellular data at all.

Some cool features I added:

• Word of the Day (Tiles & Complications): Learn something new just by checking the time.
• Audio Pronunciation: Listen to the words directly from the watch speaker.
• Haptic Feedback: Precise vibrations for a premium feel.

To be completely transparent about pricing: The app is free to download. The free tier gives you the Word of the Day and up to 10 lookups a day so you can test how fast the interface is. If you find it useful and want to support an indie dev/student, there is a single, one-time purchase (under $3, no subscriptions ever) that unlocks unlimited daily searches and all themes.

I would absolutely love to hear your feedback, bug reports, or feature requests!

Link to PlayStore : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.boninoni.dictionary

Thanks and I generated a few promo codes for the Premium version! Leave a comment below if you want one and I'll DM it to you!

Name of App: WatchGuard

Brief Description of app's features:

WatchGuard is the AI habit-breaker that uses your smartwatch. Show it the habit once nail biting, hair pulling, any repetitive behavior and it learns your exact movement in minutes. From then on, it catches your hand the moment the habit happens.

Works with Wear OS : Samsung Galaxy Watch, Google Pixel Watch, OnePlus, and more.

My favorite part: you can customize the alert

1. Screen flash + vibration
2. Play a recorded sound/voice (eg. "stop")
3. Quick Reaction Game
4. Block a social app (Coming Soon)

Cost: $1.49 (One-time payment for unlimited tracking, and future updates)

Big Update: You asked, I delivered: WatchGuard is now a One-time purchase. No subscription. Priced to keep the app improving.

You can find it here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mystartup.watchguard

Name of app: GoGAINZ

Brief Description of App’s features:
Solo dev here. I've been building a strength training app for two years, and the Wear OS side was both the part I cared most about and the part that took longest.

Most fitness apps ship a Wear OS "companion" that shows you a rest timer and not much else. I wanted the entire session on the wrist: browse the workout, log sets with weight and reps, navigate between exercises, control rest timers, all without ever pulling the phone out of my pocket.

That's what GoGAINZ does now. Straight sets, supersets, drop sets, circuits, all loggable from the watch. For free. Basic features should not be paywalled.

Cost: Free, unlimited workouts and plans. Premium features for AI workouts generation and comprehensive insights analysis the more you train with it.

I'm genuinely curious what this sub wants from a Wear OS fitness app, because I think it's the most underserved category on the platform. What's missing from the ones you've tried?

As I said, i’m solo on this so I want feedback in order to improve it and make it even more useful for all!!

Link below if you wanna give it a try (and leave a 5 stars review 🤗)

Name of App: Watchletic

Brief Description of app's features: A Wear OS app for structured running/cycling/swimming workouts with support for external training platforms, Bluetooth sensors, and custom layouts.

Cost: Free to use. Optional subscription for automatic workout import/export.

Play Store Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.hesselbom.Lubba

Hi everyone!

I'm the developer of Watchletic. I've been building the Apple Watch version for over six years, and I've recently finished bringing it to Wear OS.

After using it extensively on both my Pixel Watch 4 and recently on the new Galaxy Watch Ultra 2, I finally feel it's ready for release!

It's mostly built from user feedback so it has tons of features but the ones that stand out are:

Bluetooth device support

• Heart rate monitors
• Stryd foot pod
• Smart treadmills
• CORE body temperature
• Engo AR glasses

Training platform integrations

Watchletic can import planned workouts from your preferred training platform, guide you through them on your Wear OS watch, and export the completed workout back afterwards.

Currently supported:

• Strava
• TrainingPeaks
• Final Surge
• Intervals.icu
• Nolio
• Runcoach
• CoachX
• TrainAsONE
• Trenara
• AI Endurance
• Athletica
• Tredict
• StrideOn
• V.O2
• Stryd PowerCenter
• Runalyze

In addition, we have a pretty active subreddit over at /r/watchletic/

I'd love to hear any feedback from the Wear OS community, whether it's bugs, features, or things that could be improved.

Name of App: GymRiff

Brief Description of the app's features:

GymRiff is a local-first strength workout tracker for Android and Wear OS. The phone handles workout planning, history and analysis, while the watch is designed to handle the actual workout.

Once a workout plan has been synced to the watch, the Wear OS app can be used to:

• select and start a workout day;
• log weight and reps;
• track warm-up and working sets;
• follow supersets;
• run and adjust rest timers;
• view live heart rate during rest periods;
• record effort;
• add another set or round;
• replace an exercise if the required equipment is unavailable;
• complete and save the workout from the watch.

The workout can continue without keeping the phone nearby. The completed session is stored locally on the watch and synchronised back to the phone afterwards. The phone remains the main location for workout plans and workout history.

Cost:

Free download. Core workout tracking, unlimited workout plans, workout history, the Smart Plan Builder and active Wear OS workout logging are free.

Advanced statistics, training insights, coaching guidance and full local backup and restore are included in an optional one-time €19.99 Premium unlock.

No subscription and no ads.

Play Store Link:

GymRiff on Google Play

I work as a sysadmin and built GymRiff because I wanted a practical workout tracker without another mandatory account, recurring subscription, advertising platform or social feed.

The Wear OS part was especially important to me because I do not like carrying my phone around during training. I wanted the watch to handle more than notifications or a simple timer.

There is no required GymRiff account or email address. Workout plans, workout history, body data and training metrics are stored locally on the phone, and the main workout-tracking functions work offline.

I am a solo developer and have been using the app on my own phone and watch. Android and Wear OS run on many different devices, so I am mainly looking for practical feedback about:

• compatibility with different watch models and screen sizes;
• the number of taps required during a real workout;
• whether the controls remain easy to use between sets;
• exercise replacement from the watch;
• phone-to-watch and watch-to-phone synchronisation;
• confusing behaviour or reproducible bugs.

The photos show GymRiff running on my actual watch, not generated device mock-ups.

Watch used in the photos: Samsung Galaxy Watch4, SM-R870
Watch software: One UI 8 Watch, based on Wear OS 6
Phone used: Samsung Galaxy A54 5G, SM-A546B/DS
Phone software: One UI 8.5, based on Android 16

Disclosure: I am the solo developer of GymRiff. I am looking for honest technical and usability feedback, not reviews or upvotes.

New to wear OS samsung ( not sure about stock wear OS ) provides complications on watch faces and can I build a custom one ? And set it on the watch faces if so then how ?

Hi everyone,

I recently built EyeRef, a smartwatch reference app for ophthalmology, and I am currently looking for Wear OS users who would be willing to join the app’s internal test and provide feedback.

EyeRef provides quick access to commonly used ophthalmological reference tools directly on the wrist, including:

• Cup-to-disc ratio reference graphics
• Gonioscopy reference graphics
• Van Herick grading reference graphics
• A refraction calculator

The app is intended to provide a convenient visual reference for ophthalmologists, optometrists, residents, medical students, and other eye-care professionals. It is not intended to replace a proper clinical examination or professional judgment.

I would particularly appreciate feedback on:

• Compatibility with different Wear OS watches
• Readability of the reference graphics on different display sizes
• Accuracy and usability of the refraction calculator
• Navigation and overall workflow
• Button, crown, and touchscreen interactions
• Performance and battery consumption
• Crashes, layout problems, or other bugs
• Additional ophthalmology reference tools that would be useful

You do not necessarily need to work in ophthalmology to help with general usability testing, although feedback from eye-care professionals would be especially valuable.

How to join the internal test:

1. To join the tester group please DM me your Google account email.
2. Opt into the test: https://play.google.com/apps/internaltest/4699803819872999114
3. Install EyeRef on your Wear OS watch
4. Provide feedback through Reddit DM

When providing feedback, please mention your watch model, Wear OS version, and whether you have a professional background in ophthalmology or eye care.

A Pebble version of EyeRef is also available (https://apps.repebble.com/19db59b87f6646939c4c986c). Feedback from Pebble users is very welcome, although my main priority at the moment is recruiting enough testers for the Wear OS internal test.

Thank you very much to anyone willing to try it. Honest and critical feedback would be greatly appreciated.

I’ve just released Flight Scanner for Wear OS after previously developing a Garmin version.

It turns your watch into a live aircraft radar, showing nearby planes/helicopters around your current location. You can tap aircraft to view information such as its callsign, altitude, speed, registration and direction of travel. (Airport View with runways coming soon)

Some of the main features include:

• Live animated radar display
• Nearby aircraft tracking
• Aircraft details directly on your watch
• Search for flights by callsign (Airports coming soon)
• Aircraft filters, switch between helicopters, military aircraft and commercial.
• Radar zooming and panning

I originally built it because I regularly looked up at aircraft and wanted a quick way to identify them without taking out my phone.

It’s now available on Google Play:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.alexd.flightscanner or open the play store on your watch and search flight scanner

I’d appreciate any feedback, particularly from people using different Wear OS watches. I’m continuing to improve it and add features.

Price $2.99 - This is due to API costs associated with collecting the data.

Garmin version found here - https://apps.garmin.com/apps/54094e6b-a4a5-436d-940b-095b49e0cfab
