Yeah that was a bummer. I think they’re working on a fix but I do have a decent workaround I can post here when I’m back home

I don’t know about Liga, I haven’t heard of it at all. At least not for me, I have the entire ecosystem from Samsung.
For me it’s easy, if I continue to create watch faces, then it will only be for watches with WearOS 5 without WFF. As I’ve done mostly until now, I created watch faces for the watches I personally have on my hand, the others if it worked fine, if not I didn’t solve it.
You mentioned several times that you won’t update your 5PRO to WOS6. Why? How will there be a difference or what will not work against WOS5?

If I let my GW5 Pro update to WOS6 / WFF my personal face will not work at all . Have a look . 155 WFF issues .

That’s probably not going to work for most of my watch faces. If not all of them.

It will work on a TIZEN . Anything up to WOS6 but not including .
So I shouldn’t update my GW5 Pro from wos5 to wos6 either.
Now I’ve started using a watch face based on a timex watch, where one hand can show 3 functions after switching using war. So I’ll probably give up on it and wait for what comes next. It probably doesn’t make sense.

If you are enjoying using VAR even for your own use DO NOT Update . See the link to the Deprecated Tags list above . If you RESET you watch it will load WOS6 by default . So Prepare yourself . First thing to do is switch of the Auto Update . I have just uninstalled everything else from my GW5. it is going like a Rocket.

I have just switched off auto install for updates on both my 6 Classic and 5 Pro watches. That way at least two of them will be 100% Facer usable and the Ultra is about 50% Facer usable.

@mrantisocialguy . I think it is worth a New Topic . I am a bit busy right now . Am I right in saying a Reset on the watch will automatically load WOS6 when the Watch model is Ready . Thus killing your Legacy option . I might even get another Legacy Watch . Get my GW4 Back of loan for Messing with .

The problem is that I think Samsung’s aim is to have WFF be ubiquitous- it looks like you won’t actually be able to use legacy faces/ they’ll be made unavailable soon:
Watch Face Format | Wear OS | Android Developers
Ones you have will probably be fine, but I don’t think you’ll be able to sync ‘new’ non-WFF ones

Do you mean on Facer . My Feeling and understanding is that If I do not update My watch to WOS6 I will still be able to use my own face that is not WFF ready . That all the faces that have not been updated to WFF will still be Syncable to mine and other Legacy Watches . As Fase have Preserved the Faces for Tizen . I can not belive Facer will dump the 250000 faces they have being looked after Marvin .

My Samsung Ultra has updated to WearOS 6 and I can tell you, if you try to open up a legacy Facer watchface it will show in the phone app. It will also have the sync button greyed out with “Not Available” written.

Time will tell - I’m sure Facer will still have them, but whether Samsung actually lets you sync/ download them is another thing. Facer will update over time so I’m not sure never updating your Samsung will work. A huge amount will be created or converted by then.

What is the point of using Facer to create faces for then? If the newer watches, GW7/Ultra/8, or even the 5/6’s when they get updated, they can’t use the faces created before this switch over. Like I said before, “STUPID MOVE!!!” And I don’t think that facer will be getting any more money from here on out.

Google and Samsung made the decision and Facer has adapted to it (quite well). The alternative was that Facer essentially doesn’t exist anymore if they didn’t switch to WFF when every major company is using it…I agree that it’s frustrating that Google has forced the change, but that’s beyond Facer’s control. You can also use any that are updated/ converted, which will be the majority.

Because such updates are not reversible and it is not 100% clear, what will happen after such update, whether the support for current features remains on such watches, like it remained after updating from WOS4 to WOS5, or it will cease.
I asked that earlier, but could not find reliable answer yet. I did not mean to spread panic, just rather be cautious than sorry.
Facer need to create a complications suite app similar to amoledwatchfaces. Then any unsupported facer tags can live on (maybe) - though i expect its more complicated!! https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.weartools.weekdayutccomp

Yeah @jason.clarke.uk . That is a Goto Custom Comp Suite . We are so blessed that AMOLED has become a Facer Partner . Some may realise what that means .
