The resolution of that image is 59dpi. Screen imagery should be at 72 dpi. That may be your issue. I would convert it to 72 dpi and see if that fixes the issue. Otherwise, you may have added a white or lighter tint to the image or some transparency or effect that is making it look weird. But try the dpi and see if that does it. Good luck!

According to my Windows computer the picture is 150 dpi and 500x500 pixels.
I made a quick test watch face using it and synced it to my Galaxy S3 Frontier and this is a wrist selfie of it on the watch. It seems to be fine on my end.
If placing the background picture you use in a new element and making sure it’s at least 640x640 pixels and 72dpi or more doesn’t fix it, I would contact @Facer_Official at: https://help.facer.io/hc/en-us/requests/new or email them at: facer-support@little-labs.com

thanks a lot for the help, have a nice day further on 
did that, 50% of time fixes problem… but… its a gamble xD
ok… i had to check again on my pc… the image u downloaded is compressed, for idk what reasons… this is the original one… and now i still dont know what to do xD… drop it to 75dpi? and… resolution to… ?
This is just my personal preference. Since Facer always cuts the picture size in half when you upload it to the creator, I size my pictures to be double the size they need to be. So, for a 320x320 background image I will have it at 640x640 in size. I also use mostly .png picture files but do sometimes use .jpg. I’ve never had an issue like what you described. This is just my experience, and your mileage may vary.

u wanna say that (og) 640xx, (cropped) 320xx is enough for a watch to still look “HD” ? (ofc i use png like 100% of time… xD)

Hello, your watch has resolution 360x360 and facer has resolution 320x320, so it will look ok. It is not big difference, still I suspect original watchfaces, or those made in GWD, may look more sharp on it.

watches have a display resolution of 320x320px. Creating them at 640x640 gives as good as its going to get. No need to go higher, and resolutions of a non-integer value of the actual resolution might give unpredictable results due to rounding. I would stick with 640x640. Resolution 72dpi, though I don’t think resolution really matters as long as you stick with pixel dimensions.
Also, check your export settings for transparency. If your background image is partially transparent, then the background colour inside Facer will impact the result. And it will change in AOD mode too.

Rly helpful guys, thanks a lot for your time <3
Just for grins and giggles I synced your watch face to my Samsung Gear S3 Frontier. (It’s the one I happen to be wearing today.) And also, to my Fossil Q Explorer that I use as my test watch. It showed up perfect on both watches.

@ocky11239. Look at your Display Brightness setting may be turn it down a lot. I would make yourself a face with a Black Background only. See how black it is on the watch. OLED Tec is supposed to give Total Black. When we take pictures of even dark faces the CCD Arrays always amplify what light is comming from the face.
You probably said before but what watch are you using?

I doubt it. Facer will not upload anything bigger than 320x320 and downscales anything bigger right when you insert it there. You can stretch the inserted image once in the draft, but it will be blurry, as the pixels were merged during the downscale process.

Interesting. I’m pretty sure I did some tests early on (as in early 2021) and found 640x640 pngs to be cleaner than 320x320. Must try again and see if I still think this.

I have to apologise for fast reaction, that may not be accurate anymore. I did my own tests again and it seems facer does something even with smaller images, but to me it seems they are not so much changed as I thought earlier (somewhat blurry, but definitely not resized to exact half).
I tried to insert 640x640 and 320x320 cutout of same raster of 1 pixel thick white and black horizontal lines (verticals were thicker). After insertion they were automatically resized to half size, but after I stretched them back to original size, in the preview at 50% same as at 100% I can not see difference.
but I see difference in compare with source image. Can be the difference caused by the snipping tool, or by the creator in browser? Sorry, I can not compare live screenshots from watch.

i tried literally everything… my watch just doesn’t accept my custom watches with more details… if they’re with clean background, its okay… if a bit more details… its just going bananas… i give up from this -.-"

You may need a new watch.
@ocky11239 Or at least try redoing the watch itself. Just unpair your watch from your phone then go into the watch settings and select “Connect to a new phone”. That should force it to reinstall it’s operating system and hopefully fix any bugs along the way.
