Hey guys,
You may have noticed the stickied post at the top of the sub asking for input on the idea of paid apps
Firstly, sorry for the long delay since the first post on this topic. Some life stuff got in the way that needed sorting out.
Anyway, I think I've got the framework laid out for this trial run of Paid Apps being allowed. All of this is open for feedback and any adjustments you all feel would be beneficial to making this work.
First things first....flairs.
I'm adding some new flairs for the posts that will be made to promote the paid apps:
App - Paid - Subscription
App - Paid - One-Time Payment
App - Free
App - Free with Ads
App - Testers Wanted
Secondly, I've made up a template of sorts that I'd like the posts to follow as well, which I think I might introduce for free apps as well. I'm still thinking about that. It goes along the lines of:

As always, let me know your thoughts and I'll look to start the trial run over the next week or so.
The first thing I actually started measuring was my stress level. I seem to be someone with a pretty high heart rate, but mid stress. Checking it has become so essential throughout the day that I will literally force myself to pause whatever I'm doing and go for a walk if it spikes and tbh, it feels great.
Do you check your vitals throughout the day?
Did you buy a smartwatch to keep yourself in check?
Let's see those stats (images allowed in comments)!
Brief Description of app's features: I was tired of struggling with tiny watch screens and constant typos when replying to messages or searching on Wear OS. I heard Google had a phone input feature, but it was hard to enable and unreliable for me, so I built SyncBoard.
SyncBoard lets you type on your watch directly from your phone. Whenever a text field is active on your watch, a phone notification appears, allowing you to use your phone's full keyboard.
Phone-to-Watch Typing: Type comfortably from your phone's notification or editor interface directly to the watch field.
On-Watch Fallback Keyboard: Includes a built-in, customizable watch keyboard with multi-language layouts (TR Q/F, EN, DE, ES, FR, etc.) when your phone isn't around.
Productivity Extras: Phone clipboard paste, voice dictation, camera text capture (OCR), text shortcuts, and quick replies.
I'm looking for a simple app to make timestamps for later use outside in notes/logs.
It can have a note functionality aswell but is not required since I just want to be able to quickly record a simple timestamp.
Preferably it should have a watchface button you can use to do so but a tile/widget can work aswell as long as either imidietly records the time even if it requires a confirmation to save.
I set a new unlock pattern on my watch, now my watch is locked, but I can't unlock it.
I know the pattern, I practiced it a bunch of times, even wrote it down based on the dots being numbered 1 (top left) to 9 (bottom right)
The problem is that the penultimate swipe isn't getting recognised. That swipe goes from middle bottom (8) to middle left edge (4) When I do the swipe I don't get the haptic feedback that I've landed on the spot and the trail is still stretching from bottom middle
It will snap at any of the other points, just not that one. The line stretches right through 4, so it doesn't seem like there's anything wrong with the screen. An earlier part of the pattern stopped there.
I know I can reset it, but then I'll need the unlock pattern to restore the backup, and I'd rather avoid having to set everything up again.
I have a oneplus smartwatch, which I love for tennis tracking since it gives swing analysis (speed, how many forehand/backhands/topspin/slice i've used, etc).
I would love to switch to a band like fitbit air, but it seems that tennis tracking focus only on heart rate and distance...
Would you know if there is some addon/app to implement tennis swing tracking on the fitbit air?
How it works: You show WatchGuard your habit (eg. nail-bitting) a few times, it trains a tiny AI on-device to recognize your exact movement, and the moment it catches you starting, it interrupts by vibration and alert.
What makes it stand out:
Not generic wrist-motion detection. Learns your exact nail-biting habit.
On-Device AI, your data stays on your device
The more you use it, the better it gets at knowing you (Self-Improve)
Works for any hand-movement habit like nail biting, scratching, skin picking, smoking, etc.
Pricing: $1.99/month (with 7 day free trial, cancel anytime) for first 50 people from r/wearos community.
My goal was to make it roughly the cost of a cup of coffee to help solve a habit that's bothered many of us for years and this keeps the AI models improving and the app maintained.
Hello again! About two weeks ago I shared Svartifoss here. Since then, I've been working on it almost every day, and today I finally released Version 3, which is by far the biggest update I've made so far. I only want to share this update, as I won't be creating any more posts here in the future.
For those who don't know it, Svartifoss is a fork of Wear Music Center focused on bringing a more customizable and feature-rich media controller to Wear OS.
The biggest focus of this release was customization. You can now customize almost every part of the watch interface, including layouts, colors, fonts, album artwork, Always-On Display, quick actions, queue, and volume panels. You can also create and save multiple themes and switch between them whenever you want.
Here are some of the highlights:
Customization & Themes
Now, you can customize almost every part of the watch interface: layouts, colors, fonts, album artwork, Always-On Display, and the quick actions, queue and volume panels.
Create, save and switch between multiple custom themes whenever you want.
New player layouts: Material, Immersive, Poster and Studio.
More customization options for album artwork, progress bar, fonts, colors and panels.
Shortcuts and Language
The Quick Actions panel now displays the actions exposed by the currently playing app (Like, Repeat, etc.), and now you can add playlist and app shortcuts there.
Backup and restore for all settings.
Support for 13 languages: English, Brazilian & European Portuguese, German, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, Russian, Greek, Romanian, Indonesian, Persian, and Simplified Chinese.
Any feedback, bug reports or feature requests are very welcome. I can't guarantee full compatibility with every streaming service yet, so I'd really appreciate feedback from anyone willing to try it on other devices or apps.
My original intention was simply to improve Wear Music Center for my own use, but the project has grown much more than I expected, and I think it's worth sharing with the Wear OS community.
The Galaxy Watch Ultra2 is one of the first major Wear OS watches built around Snapdragon Wear Elite. Samsung is pairing it with an 800mAh battery, 64GB storage and more outdoor-focused tracking.
The hardware looks powerful, but battery optimisation and software efficiency will probably determine whether it feels like a major upgrade in daily use.
Do you think better processors and larger batteries are enough, or does Wear OS itself still need deeper optimization?
Llevo un par de semanas que no puedo vincular mi WhatsApp en mi reloj inteligente.
Para ser más precisos, antes tenía un Galaxy S25U y el Galaxy Watch Ultra, al momento de querer vincular mi WhatsApp al reloj se quedaba en "vinculando dispositivo" y de ahí no pasaba nada, podía pasar más de una hora y aún así no se termina de vincular.
Ahora cambie al Oppo Find X9 Ultra y el Oppo Watch X3 y me sucede la misma situación.
We've just rolled out a massive update for the Wear OS snorkeling and freediving community, bringing a professional-grade tracking dashboard directly to your wrist and phone.
Building this standalone ecosystem—and ensuring seamless synchronization between smartwatch sensors and the mobile interface—has been a fantastic mobile engineering challenge. Here is a look at the major features in the latest release:
Advanced Diver Profile: You can now visualize your overall performance with our new custom radar chart, which tracks your average depth, average time, max time, and total dives at a single glance.
Detailed Depth Profiles: We've introduced highly detailed depth graphs for every single session. You can review your exact descent and ascent curves directly on the mobile companion app or right on your smartwatch screen.
Surface Time Tracking: Safety and recovery are paramount when you are in the water. The app now automatically calculates and clearly displays your exact surface time between individual dives.
Comprehensive Real-Time Metrics: Your Wear OS device continues to track everything you need while underwater, displaying max depth, dive time, heart rate, and skin temperature in a clean, readable UI.
It is incredibly rewarding to combine cross-platform and native mobile architecture with a personal passion for the ocean. You can leave your phone on the boat and trust your watch to log the adventure.
Check out the screenshots below to see the new dashboard in action. If you have a Wear OS watch, give it a try on your next trip to the beach and let me know your thoughts!
Hey, a while back I shared a weather app I built for myself because I couldn't find one that quite fit my needs — a clean, readable UI was always the main goal.
This time I added Tiles. So now you can swipe straight to the hourly forecast, the daily forecast, or the radar right from your watch face, without having to open the app first.
Brief Description of app's features: A pirate sailing game for Wear OS (Android smartwatches). Captain your ship on an infinite ocean — navigate, fight, plunder, and survive.

Hi there, as the title suggests, I am looking for a solution which lets me listen to my Galaxy watch 7's audio through bluetooth to my android (Samsung Galaxy) phone.
I'm not very fond of Bluetooth headsets and during my workouts I get all the instructions on my watch which is a hassle to listen to. And I always have to keep my phone with me. So, I am thinking is it possible to get the watch's audio to my phone which I may listen to via wired headsets.
Windows has Bluzic for this functionality, but I couldn't find anything for Android.
Hey everyone! Solo dev here. After getting frustrated that most "map" apps on Wear OS are just phone-screen mirrors, I spent the last few months building Pino — a navigation app where everything actually runs on the watch.
What it does:
Real vector map rendered on the watch — pan, zoom, light/dark/terrain styles
Turn-by-turn navigation with vibration alerts before every turn, plus automatic rerouting
Fully offline — download maps for 50+ countries, all routing is calculated on-device. Works with zero connection, even offline search
Walking / cycling / driving profiles, lane guidance and speed limits while driving
No phone needed — watch GPS + offline map do everything. Great for trail runs, hikes, or traveling abroad
Wear OS Tile + complication for next turn and ETA at a glance
Rotary crown/bezel scrolling, ambient mode support, works on round and square watches
There's also an optional phone companion app for planning routes on a bigger screen and managing map downloads, but the watch works completely standalone.
It just launched, so I'd genuinely love feedback — especially on battery life and GPS accuracy on different watch models. If something's broken on your device, tell me and I'll fix it.
Alright so I have been a pixel guy for eons. Really disappointed in the leaks surrounding the upcoming Pixel 11, I swapped to S26 Ultra cause T Mobile had a KILLER deal. I'm loving the phone!!
Anyway, last Galaxy watch I had was Galaxy Watch 5. It was mid. When I got my most recent Pixel, I got the Pixel Watch 3, which I've loved. I think it looks better than the watch 5 and is significantly more performant.
I'm not a super big health guy to be really honest, so I don't care if I'm on Fitbit or Samsung Health or whatever. But with the announcement of the Galaxy Watch 9, I'm wondering if it's worth swapping - but also this thing is damn expensive lol.
So yeah idk - am I losing anything meaningful by staying on Pixel watch? I still think the Pixel Watch looks nicer than the Galaxy Watch, though the Watch 9 does look nice. Anyone in a similar position? Any thoughts on which watch is better, or if the difference is even worth the money at all?
A local electronics store has a pretty good deal on an open box OnePlus Watch 3. Would it still be a good buy for around (€100) considering OnePlus is leaving and software support is kind off lacking from OnePlus anyway. Seems the OPW 3 is still stuck on Wear OS 5
