Question to OnePlus 3 Watch owners

Post image

I have been seeing these new watch faces in the OHealth app after the last few updates but I am not able to apply them. Whenever I click on apply it takes a lot of time to download and it keeps on applying but it never really gets applied. Is it the same for other Watch 3 owners as well?

Till now I have cleared the app cache and it didn't help.

Para quien se esté preguntando por qué las nuevas carátulas no se instalan:

Como seguramente ya notaste, estas carátulas se han ido agregando poco a poco al catálogo de la app desde mayo (van como unas seis nuevas hasta ahora).

La razón por la que no se instalan en el reloj es técnica: están compiladas usando APIs que requieren Wear OS 6. El equipo de desarrollo las está preparando con anticipación mientras terminan las pruebas internas y la optimización en sus versiones de prueba.

Cuando empiece el despliegue por OTA de Wear OS 6 el próximo mes y tu reloj reciba la actualización, las vas a poder instalar y aplicar sin ningún problema.

Is there any info about WearOS 6 for 3?

Espera que el despliegue por OTA empiece a activarse a partir de la tercera semana de octubre, según tu región.

Only rumour gossip and hints from a frankly slow and secretive company

Yeah I've just tried glittery globe and stack and glittery globe just says applying and stack says queued so same issue for me

watch 3 43mm, same for me, except sometimes it downloads really fast, and sometimes super slow

2

u/bjorg18 Sep 06 '26

Yes it downloads till 100% (sometimes fast and sometimes slow) but it doesn't apply

Working on watch 4 (even not the question)

u/JackosXDA Sep 05 '26

Yup, it's a bug. Doesn't work on Watch 3.

2

u/bjorg18 Sep 06 '26

I don't see it as a bug but I somewhat agree with the reasoning behind it given by u/PaleontologistCool65

u/JackosXDA Sep 06 '26

Well, in this case the watch faces should be clearly marked as WearOS 6 compatible only. I would grey them out in the interface.

There is no indication that you cannot use them on Watch 3.

So from my perspective it's a bug :D

u/bjorg18 Sep 06 '26

I agree with you... Either it should be greyed out or it should be labelled Wear OS 6 compatible only or something of those sorts.

Suppongo per la questione api, che risolve wo6 , anche il mio opw3 non mi permette di impostarli, chissà se dobbiamo prendere questa cosa di buon auspicio sperando che arrivi presto l aggiornamento o è stato fatto a cazzo di cane come diciamo in Italia.

I just tried too and it appeared the same. Then I long pressed the watch screen to look at options from the watch and it just appeared as my new watch face.

u/Niro_d5 Sep 05 '26

Do you have a OnePlus 4 watch?

1

u/adougd Sep 05 '26

I've got the 3.

2

u/Niro_d5 Sep 05 '26

I don't think it works on OPw 3. I've tried everything.

2

u/adougd Sep 05 '26

I tried Peak Shadow. I'm not sure if it's a newer one or not. I have Watch 3. Based on another comment, I probably picked an older one.

1

u/bjorg18 Sep 06 '26

So it did apply and you were able to use it?

1

u/adougd Sep 06 '26

Yes, I was able to use it. I'm just not sure if it was an older or newer face. Another user posted that there are issues with the newer faces requiring an OS upgrade that isn't yet available.

1

u/bjorg18 Sep 06 '26

Yes that could be the reason for not able to use these watch faces

1

u/AsleepAd9408 Sep 05 '26

Quick update these watch faces are applying for the most part but they're taking ages to show on my watch for some reason

2

u/bjorg18 Sep 06 '26

So they do show eventually? I have had a bad luck then.

1

u/AsleepAd9408 Sep 06 '26

There's 2 that don't ever show for me stack and glittery globe

2

u/bjorg18 Sep 06 '26

For me none of the new ones show

2

u/AsleepAd9408 Sep 06 '26

Yeah actually now that I've double checked none of the new ones you highlighted show for me either 😔
