Watchface setup

If you see your xDrip values ​​on the VARS page, everything is working as it should and you can now synchronize the first watchface with your smartwatch. Oh, before that we make a few settings in the Watchmaker Companion. If you haven't already done so, first select the Watchmaker Watchface on your watch, press and hold the current Watchface with your finger the watchface overview opens, here you navigate to the far left where you can see the watchmaker icon, tap on it to select the watchface. If this is your first time, you will be briefly guided through the functions. 2x quick tap (2x double tap) on the Watchface, opens the Watchmaker Watchface overview. You can recognize that you are in this menu by the fact that an arrow appears on the right and left of the screen. By tapping on the right you get to the last synchronized watch faces, so if you have synchronized 6 watch faces, you can quickly switch between these 6 without resynchronizing them.

I only mention the important settings here, but there are more.

Go left to the said settings.

  • Options Launcher -Determines how often you have to type quickly to open the Watchface overview
  • Tap Launcher -since version 5.9.0 there is the Tap Launcher that you can tap with 3x quickly. I recommend deactivating it because its functions have been integrated into my watch faces and it is often opened accidentally (this deactivates just opening by tapping quickly does not open the tap launcher itself)
  • Keep Watch Awake -Sets how long your display should be on before it goes dark, I recommend leaving this set to default
  • Check Phone Battery -Please set to On every Watch wake up
  • Check Heartrate -Please set to On every Watch wake up
  • Graphics Quality -with older Galaxy Gears it is recommended to leave the settings like this, but newer ones can be set to High
  • Enable Transitions -Set to Enable
  • Steps Counter -Set to Phone

In order for the pedometer on the watch to show the same steps as your Samsung Health on the smartphone, you have to authorize Samsung Health in the Watchmaker app. If you leave this unchanged, the pedometer will be set to 0 after each new synchronization of another watch face. Read this to check how to allow access to Samsung Health.

You can finally choose one of the watch faces from my Watchmaker Profile. When you have found the watchface you like, click on it and then press the large green sync button on the right below the watchface.
