Pixel Watch & completely different put on OS three AODs flip off when using outdated faces

The watch faces Google made for the Pixel Watch are comparatively good, however current put on OS owners might simply use their current favorites. In doing so, some have found that watch faces not using the most modern enchancment practices don’t completely assist the Pixel Watch’s on a daily basis-on current (AOD).

This subject sees the on a daily basis-on current flip off after round quarter-hour with the exact increment various. Up till that time, the AOD works as anticipated.

We examined this using older ustwo watch faces, like appears, on a Pixel Watch and Fossil Gen 6 Wellness, which launched with put on OS three out of the subject. On preliminary testing, we haven’t been in a place to repeat this on a Samsung Galaxy Watch 4.

Having to faucet to activate the display if the enhance-to-wake gesture is disabled (to protect battery life) defeats the purpose of an AOD. It’d be notably annoying in case your fingers aren’t free or inside the event you’re glancing at your wrist from an angle.

in response to at least one developer (Pixel Minimal Watch Face), this subject impacts clocks that aren’t constructed using the Jetpack Watch Face library. That’s meant to interchange the earlier Wearable assist Library method and hit safe in December of 2021. Their bug submitting notes how the Pixel Watch’s inventory faces use Jetpack.

Google initially closed the bug report on Friday however has reopened it as of Monday morning and are trying into the subject extra carefully. The prolonged-time period reply should be having builders modernize their watch faces, however hopefully there’s a repair on Google’s finish earlier than that.
