Battery meter reversed

I’m pretty sure this has been asked before, but I can’t seem to find an answer. When I reverse a round battery meter progress, when I put the battery level down to “0” the entire progress bare turns red. How Do I get to not turn red when the level gets down to “0”? TIA!

ah, yes, the reverse fill thing…

I can think of using clamp to limit the progress for both 0 and 100. So with the below I do not let the prgress reach 0 nor 100, but nearly. Reverse Fill ratio:

(clamp(#BLN#/100,0.001,0.9999))

But seriously . If your battery ever gets to Zero charge the watch is Dead . There is no charge memory and you will have to get a new watch .

#BLN#/100-0.0001

Will do it . As Bove but less Code .

I use this code… +(((#BLN#)/100)-0.00001)

Besides the options the others have given you, you could always put in an Opacity of $#BLN#>=1?100:0$ . That will stop it from showing in watchface previews. But like @russellcresser said, the real watch would never display it since it would shut itself down as a safety measure before reaching zero.

That’s an interesting theory. I just bought a Galaxy Watch 5 Pro (Renewed - Excellent from Amazon for $65). This watch must have been returned pretty much immediately after it was purchased. The first patch I got was from May of 2023. It took 6 hours of updates to get it up to the latest WearOS 5. So it’s been sitting on a shelf somewhere for the past 2.5 years.

Anyway, the battery was 100% dead. It took 10 minutes of charging for it to get to 1%. It took a solid 6 hours to get to 100%. But it’s working perfectly now. It’s outlasting my Ultra and my 6 Classic.

Yeah nice watch . That has not had its memory stretched . I have never ever seen a 100% Dead Battery . I really don’t think there would be much lit on the display in that case .

The screen wouldn’t even light up for the first 10 minutes. Then there was a lightning bolt, and then there was the 1%. I’m actually not buying what you’re selling.

That describes the normal charging icon when I first put my watches on charge. The fact that it took 10 minutes would suggest to me that the battery was so low the watch wouldn’t turn the screen on until it had enough charge in it to do so.

As the song says ‘Don’t worry be happy’ - With a long period without charging the battery has lost its charge. I believe, as @mrantisocialguy noted, that it had got so low that it had insufficient charge to turn on the screen at first. Only then could it turn on the charging lightning icon to show that was in fact charging.
For $65 maybe someone left the watch on before storing or sending it to you. I also have GW5pro - it’s a great watch

My first watch was the Ultra, then I picked up a 6 Classic, and now this. I love all of them. I’m very impressed with the battery life on the 5 Pro tho. It actually came out to $18 because has Prime points to burn. I’m delighted!!!

Yeah I think the Pro is good . I like the raised Bezel it has saved the Lense from all sorts of bangs . Starting to look a little Tactical . I am actually angling for a GW8 Classic Stainless .

I started with the original Galaxy Watch which I still have. Then I got an active 2 and traded it in on the newly released Galaxy watch 4. Then I traded it in on the GW 5 Pro, bought the GW 6 Classic and last year picked up the GW 7 Ultra. I still have the original, the 5,6 and 7 plus a Fossil Carlyle that I now use just as a test watch. I wonder if there is such a thing as Watchaholics Anonymous! :laughing::joy::rofl:
