Samsung’s smartwatches and hybrid fitness trackers provide users an option to use third-party watch faces. The company has even released a dedicated software named the Gear Watch Designer that lets designers build custom watch faces for these wearables. Now, Samsung has released a new beta version of the Gear Watch Designer (v1.2.1) with some bug fixes.
Apart from bug fixes, the version 1.2.1 of the Gear Watch Designer Beta adds a new low-bit color always-on mode that gets automatically activated if the high color always-on mode is not available. Samsung’s new Gear S3 smartwatch supports full-color always-on mode wherein the watch face is always shown in full color. The software is available for Windows and Mac operating systems. Here’s the complete changelog of the new version of the Gear Watch Designer Beta.
