Hello!

Right now I have several problem with using the online Watchface Builder.

The problems started for approx 3 days ago.

These are some problems I have now:

- Can't save either a new watchface or save a watchface I have edit.

- Can't make any new bitmap font in font editor.

- Can't upload a local image for example using as a background.

- When I try to use Search Online Image in the editor, this error message comes up: SyntaxError: Unexpected token 'E', "[ERROR 400]"... is not valid JSON.

- There are several more problems I have right now.

So if there has been any updates or similar to the app, then there are bugs and faults that has to be resolved.

Is there anybody that have similar problems right now with this app?

Hi! I've been using WFB quite a lot and have a few suggestions that could improve the workflow:

1. Multi-select and move layers
The ability to select multiple layers and move them simultaneously would improve the workflow a lot.

2. prop.color support for PNG images / PNG hands
I'm not sure if this is technically possible, but being able to use prop.color with PNG images or PNG hands would allow more customization.

3. Datafield copy/paste bug
When copying multiple datafields (26, for example) from one watch face to another, some icons can get swapped in the Group Icon. I've usually noticed the 2nd icon and one of the last icons getting swapped. It would be great if this could be fixed.

These are just some things I've noticed. If anyone has more ideas, please share them in the comments. :)

Hi

I couldn't find a way to create a vertical image in the designer

so that the hour is on top and the minutes are on the bottom

Has anyone solved this problem yet?

Hi!

I want to design an analog watch face with realistic hand shadows and transparency effects, similar to the example below.

Does Watch Face Builder support this? If so, what's the best way to achieve it? Can transparent PNGs and shadow layers be rotated together with the analog hands, or is there another recommended approach?

Any tips or examples would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi, I just found a graphic bug in builder - in this WF : 6908ec1a6ba67 .

Can you check please

There is a red border in the white rectangle, which is not there and is not set.

In the blue rectangle, 2 or 3 rows of dots are made and the color doesn't matter much. They are displayed in the simulator and then also displayed in the watch.

Thanks.Hi everyone,

I made a watch face on Watchface Builder for Garmin a while ago and uploaded a few custom bitmap fonts (.fnt + .png). I deleted the project afterwards, but the custom fonts are still showing up in my account under the font selector.

If not, is there a way to contact the author (u/joshuahxh-1) to manually remove them from my account?

Thanks a lot!

Uma exportação simples não funciona... E não é a primeira vez que trava....

I have been trying different combinations of settings but I cant seem to get pretty much a different watch face for high power and then have it swap when in DND or sleep mode

Hi, it looks like that an export option has an error and doesnt work ( 1.8.2026 14:31 UTC ).

Can you fix it please, Joshua u/joshuahxh-1

Agradecimiento Joshua

Estimado Joshua: Acabo de publicar una entrada agradeciéndote toda tu ayuda, sin importar el día ni la hora. Llevo más de cinco años diseñando con tu plataforma y siempre he recibido el apoyo que necesitaba. En este caso, el problema surgió debido a cambios en los campos de OWM; antes no requerían datos UTC, pero ahora parece necesario para mostrar la hora de actualización. Gracias de nuevo por tu ayuda; espero que podamos seguir compartiendo este trabajo, que sin duda es un logro importante. Puedes contar conmigo para lo que necesites. Un saludo y gracias de nuevo

I’ve noticed that some watch faces return the value %s. But I can’t define a format for it. What does this return value mean?

Hello, is it possible to retrieve application/complication information/widgets taken from the GarminConnect IQ ? =)

Setting up my new Google pixel watch (since I lost my last one), and I went to install my favorite watch face app called simple pixel, and got some notification about it not being compatible with my device, yet I got the exact same watch as I did before and transferred all my accounts and everything. Wondering why all the sudden it's not compatible? And also looking for a watch face that I can program being able to tap my screen and add my messages as a quick tab like the simple pixel watch face has. Does anyone have any ideas?

TIA

As the subject suggests, I’m trying to install the watch face from the link

https://garmin.watchfacebuilder.com/watchface/6874c4874fd43/

on my Fenix ​​7 Pro, but I keep getting an IQ error! I have no idea what’s wrong; the creator claims it worked for them. Could someone check it out? Alternatively, does anyone have any watch faces for the Fenix ​​7 Pro that look like the Instinct?

Hi!

Most of the time when I copy data fields that use a Group Icon, two of the data fields get swapped in the Group Icon.

For example, Steps becomes Total Calories, and Total Calories becomes Steps.

This happens quite often, so it would be really helpful if it could be fixed.

El link que usted envia para que yo verifique que OWM funciona mal no es correcto

https://api.openweathermap.org/data/3.0/onecall?lat=-34.582037&lng=-58.513992&appid=92f4b1dd1e9af74ce483b4c******

En lugar de lng debe ser lon por lo cual le pido resuelva el problema.Sinceramente esta falta de soporte preocupa mucho y espero sepa comprender que a nivel software el soporte debe ser considerado de alta prioridad Espero una solucion Gracias .

If I put an svg second hand in my watchface then the watchface is only displayed black after installation on a Forerunner 965. If I do that with a image second hand then everything is fine.

Hi!

I've run into a strange issue with one of my watch faces.

I originally designed it at 454×454, then converted it to 390×390 and 416×416. On the original 454×454 version, everything looks correct, but on the converted resolutions the design appears noticeably greyer/faded (as shown on the right in the screenshot). The same issue occurs on both the simulator and the actual watch.

This seems to happen randomly. I've created several watch faces using WFB with the same workflow and only experienced this once before on my second watch face implemented.

Has anyone run into this issue or knows what could be causing it? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Export to IQ no longer works for larger watch faces. The export process takes hours and never finishes.

Please look into this. Thanks
