I’m still sad about leaving Facer…
Many people, me included, were forced to use Watch face Studio.
I don’t think Facer do not want to keep up, I think it just cannot be done.
Nobody can fight Samung/Google.
On the other hand I do resent the fact Facer ignored for years our requests for new tags, for better usage of complications and other things we asked for.
Many really, really good designers gave up on Facer because no one can became partner any more.
Hi @BIELITZ
I wanted to be provocative. I join the community every day, but I only intervene if I have something useful to say. I don’t like interventions as an end in themselves. Facer? No thank you. I hate “Unsocial” 
Hi everyone,
I don’t know of any other way other than Facer.
In this community, I, a simple beginner, have learned a lot and, with the support of several members.
The Facer app is not cheap for me, but it is worth it and, without this community, I would not be learning absolutely anything!!!
Think about it, my friend!!!
Hi @petruuccios
If I remember correctly, you were one of those who helped me several times with my requests for formulas for a WF. I agree with you.
I personally made, for my own use, more than 500 Faces and… I got to the point where I stopped. I simply did not know what to do anymore. 
A dial is a dial and hands are hands, so after having experimented with all the possible variations that a watch can offer I got stuck. I did not know what else I could do.
Alternatives to Facer? I wish I had some. At the moment, unfortunately, I don’t have any alternatives, but if I find one I will not fail to inform you.
Well, there would be an alternative, the one that has undertaken @masterboyhr and is Watch Face Studio, but…maybe I’m just too lazy, but I really don’t want to start from scratch with a whole bunch of new tags and formulas.
Maybe it needs another challenge?
In the past there were a few, and I kind of like the idea to then see what people come up with…
There was one which said to only use standard Facer elements. That was before my time here. Amazing watch faces collected by @rob.fisk :
Yes, it really is pain in the a**.
Everything is different. And there are no watchfaces “open for inspection” where one can learn from.
WFS forum kinda works but not as good as this forum, not even close.
And I miss publishing watchfaces. It’s a nice bonus when someone else can enjoy your watchface.
In conclusion, there is no real alternative to Facer. I really, really hope Facer will survive.
@diavo and @masterboyhr . I personaly belive there is a Move on WFS to bring some of the Facer Community Ethos . It is possible to share a watchface . In which case it can be saved on your PC and downloaded onto your watch any Time you wish . Any Tag Formula is easily ported to WFS . There are People on ther that can port them easily . Curved Text and Boolean Masking is something Facer will never have . I have been working with Bit Mapped Fonts on there . It could even be used for animations . Sadly Publishing on the Google Store is something else . They have made it Impossible . But if you are a Hobbyist and fancy making something different it is worth putting in the time . Th biggest drawback is it is impossible to do smooth scrolling on WFS . It is becoming very difficult to do smooth scrolling on Facer as well . These are Power saving strategys to stop people moaning about Battery Drain . On that subject Facer is doing very well to get Drain Down .
And me too my friend 
This community has been a huge inspiration for me. Everything I know, is thanks to this community and a handful of awesome designers. @ of which have already commented in this thread. Those are Russell & Tom. You guys are awesome. Every single one of my designs are made with Free Facer Creator, so I don’t have any fancy VAR’s or shyte like that. Thank you guys!
Community forums were around years before so-called “social media”. It appears that for various reasons some people now prefer Facebook, Instagram, etc… If you like the community format, support it. As for Facer’s business, your diagnosis seems premature.
While they can not do much against Google policy, they do some other minor things, for example more self explanatory button for inspectable faces, which is good and I only noticed it today
Peter, where did you find that “inspect in Facer Creator” button???
I don’t see it. Cannot find it.
@masterboyhr if you try go the ,‘normal’ way to open an inspectable watch for inspection in stead of clicking on the watch name to open it you will see the new button at the bottom of the preview
It works for me 
Oh, thank you, it’s shown only if the watchface is open for inspection. Of course, logical.
Silly me. 
It’s new.
Play with Android widgets for a while in KWGT?
Nope. I’ll take a look, thanks!
It is an amazing change. You can group objects and tilt or rotate them as one. Have a shape or text that is a cutout to the layer below. Do XOR object overlap and much more.
Hey guys - just a quick note that we’ve seen this post and will be discussing internally shortly.
Just to be clear - we are not dead and have no intention of dying There is VERY active work happening to support Google’s Watch Face Format, the Galaxy Watch 7/Ultra, Pixel Watch 3, and more. We’re just not able to share specifics at this point.
We also made some key hires recently and are accelerating a lot of of work on the Facer Creator side which you will start seeing the results of soon (that new Inspector button is just one of them).
Lots of reasons to be excited on the horizon (but point well taken that we’re not communicating enough on that front).
