To update or not to update?
I still have my GW4 for usage and testing.

Yes, on Galaxy Watch 5 Pro with One UI 8 Watch, watch faces now need to be in WFF format. The old formats don’t work anymore.

you do have the option (for now) to perpetually decline/postpone the update. That’s what I’m doing with my GW6. I don’t want to lose all my faces with VAR toggles. This is the most important feature that’s no longer supported in the new format. But for anyone, you just have to decide for yourself.

This is something I have worried about for a while now and have avoided accepting the updates for my GW5Pro

I only have the basic Creator and all my watchfaces have the little WFF logo - from what I understand my watchfaces should be ok for both the new and old watches and I can accept the updates. Please tell me if I’m wrong

@Zieneth, yes, it is WFF only.

@BIELITZ, you are correct, if Facer Creator is showing you the WFF icon along with the WearOS icon side by side. All of my watchfaces have it like this and work fine on my WFF watches.

If you don’t want to update, wipe off from your watch the connection to your internet line. This way the watch can’t reconnect by itself, even if you have disabled wifi from options.
I did so on my GW5 Pro and 6 Classic and I’m still on the old version

Thanks for that - it’s put my mind at rest.
