@Mellin sorry for not clarifying, I meant which watch faces are giving you issues (though the device is really helpful too, we can test on one of those here).
We always appreciate your bug reports!
Iāve seen the problem on every face I checked that uses a āstrokeā effect on any of its elements.
Right now Iām wearing a self-made face:
There are 2 occurrences in it where the stroke effect is used:
- text-based watch battery level
- text-based phone battery level
Both show in the editor and mobile preview a black stroke effect around the letters, but on the face, itās gone (and since the letters and background have the same color they became almost invisible).
Same āstrokeā effect problems I experience on faces mentioned in the beginning of this topic.
Also, I recently tried to help @idriveatardis167 with his face I had the same problem with it:
I can 100% say that it is problem with stroke effect and not individual face.

Thanks @Mellin. I just tested on a Huawei 1 using our latest Beta (4.2.0_4378, released today) and I do see the stroke on your watch face. Iām waiting for a Sony Smartwatch 3 to charge up so we can check it out there as well.

If I remember correctly, Huawei w1 got the update to AW 2.0.
Maybe thatās the problem?
Hey @Mellin, happy N7 Day.
I got the olā Sony workhorse powered up so we could see what your watchface looks like on it, and it seems like the stroke effects are working well (see attached screenshot). By way of disclaimer, this is our latest internal build and may slightly differ from the Beta we just released, but I wouldnāt expect there to be a difference in this case.
With the information we have right now, my recommendation would be to try the very latest beta. We havenāt seen a stroke issue with that build so far, but if you do run into an issue with it, please let us know and we can take another look.
Thank you for checking it.
I did see the update in the play store but simply installing it did not solve it.
After that, I embarked on a long quest that is still not finished.
<tl;dr>
After the update, I restarted (at the same time) both watch and phone - no improvements.
Next I deleted Facer from my phone, cleared it with Avast clean up and restarted both devices - Here is a bombshell: Even tho the app was missing from my apps menu and on play store I could see the instal button, my watch was still showing the broken āDatumā faceā¦ and inside of the Android Wear app on my phone, under the faces selection I can still see the Facerā¦
Then I tried to install the Facer app (again), but itās installation progress stoped at ~28% mark.
And that is the place Iām currently in.
</tl;dr>
Just to make sure I still have the broke face on my watch without the Facer app on my phone:
Right now Iām trying to reinstall Facer, so please wait a little bit more.
(I might have to reset my whole watch and deinstall the Android Wear app and this rate)
After some trials, I managed to reinstall Facer (4.2.0_4380-(4380)) and reload that face and now everything seems to work finally fine.
That was some crazy stuff happening on my devices but now everything is ok.
Thanks for the support.
@Matt happy N7 day to you too!
And if anyone else here likes anime:
āThe game has been cleared. I repeat: the game has been clearedā
I wonder how many of my fellow creators are otakus.

Yep, looks like Android just hadnāt finished removing the app from your watch before you tried your first reinstall. Thereās a little bit of lag time between installs/uninstalls on the phone and the follow-up deployment to the watch, sometimes. Glad you got it cleared up.

My issue is that my watch face is appearing as jagged on my LG Watch Urbane.
I have the most recent Beta Version installed.
