If someone stumble upon this topic: Facer has solved this, heartrate/puls now works, showing results in real time.
No need for solution with complications anymore.
Sadly the Sensor reading is constant . But theoretically only while the face is displayed . So the green light is flashing a lot but I have seen it get stuck . Switching to a Native face and back solves that . As we move o it will get Better .
Yeah all I was saying is a Poll every 15 seconds would be fine and save a bit of power. My watch warms up 2 degrees C if I have the Facer HR on.
If you have a 5 now you are not concerned about ECO.

Congratulations on the watch 5 Pro! I really don’t miss the physical ring at all. My only complaint with the capacitive ring is it is way too fast. At least it’s slower than it was back on the Active 2 watch. It was almost unusable there. If they would slow it’s movement down compared to your input it would be better. BUT for the extra battery life the 5 Pro has, I’m just being nitpicky.
Compared to watch4, the battery life of watch5 pro is fantastic!
With everything on (except AOD), snoring, night oxygen, raise to wake, sport detection, workouts… I’m getting 2 - 2.5 days.
Without “raise to wake” it goes to 3 - 3.5 days!
All I needed and hoped for is one full day without thinking about battery watch. For example, if I travel somewhere I need 1.5 days. Watch4 drove me crazy, at the end of the day it had about 20% battery left so I had to think about charging it all the time.
But rotating bezel… I miss it very much. I have to say - it was much better.
Maybe, as you say, I’m just being nitpicky.
Nope you’re not! I constantly kick myself for having bought a GW4 instead of a GW4 Classic. I prefer my original GW1 just for the bezel, but its display isn’t as good as my GW4 and it is quite s l o w.
(plus its battery life is much better)
For Battery Life get Huawei GT2 I am testing mine again . 29% after running for 5 Days . Sadly it runs Home Grown OS only . HR live take 4 seconds to read on contact .
That only locks the Facer out, but does not mean you cant make your own faces for it. They have the theme studio tool for that, but it is not as easy as Facer and the learning curve is steep again.
Don’t you have to load it to your watch through a Chinese Proxy . It was too complicated for me when I looked at it . They Vet the Faces as well I am sure.
I did not dive in the transfer process. Got scared away with the tool it self I played with the GT runner briefly, before it went under the Christmas tree. Wanted to know if I would be able to customize it for my brother, but did not manage it fast enough. Maybe one day, if I get super bored, will give it another try. He is happy with it anyway. Its light and its battery life is way better than any WearOS watch I know.
I love the GT2 The Stop Watch uses the Bottom physical Button . Sadly not both or the Top one . Non of them get it perfect . I love my GW4 more ( and Facer ). Having a little go on WFS . Love the Idea that the files are on my Laptop .
You have made me think about looking at the GT2 platform again .
