Dear Vladimir,

after the recent Galaxy Watch 4 software update the ambient time is out of sync (15-20 minutes behind). It will update if I update the screen.
This seems to be a general issue with all watchfaces.
See:

@benoitletondor introduced a fix for his PixelMinimalWatchFace

Could you introduce the same fix for your AnalogWatch face? I really love it but like this it is not usable :'(

Thanks very much!

I went through the fix introduced by PixelMinimalWatchFace and it's extremely hacky. I will fix the issues around time, but I don't think I will fix issues with complications.

First, this is clearly a bug on Samsung's side.
Second, this is a free, open-sourced project that's supposed to be a fun side project. Fixing problems introduced on every update by a multi-billion dollar company is not fun. Also supporting these hacky fixes is also not fun.
Next, the main purpose of this project is to help people get into watch face development, and having a weird, hard to understand, code would just confuse new devs.
Finally, I don't have a Samsung watch (and I am not planning to buy it because of behavior like this) so it's extremely hard to support fixes like this.

Please don't take this personally. I am grateful to all who are using my watch face, but I am getting really tired of being a support for Samsung. If they continue to behave like this, I will probably stop supporting Samsung watches.
