watchmaker premium vs. Facer

[eric002]

So, I've noticed that watchmaker premium watch face apps tend to run sluggish on Moto 360 second gen however facer watch faces are running perfectly anyone else realize this?

Watchmaker premium faces are buggy and laggy on my watch too. I have had a couple times where it locked up Android wear, and I had to reboot the watch. From what i have seen, the more features the watch face has, the less reliable it is. The worst offenders were some Alpina dials that were stunning looking, but would lock up my watch. There was also a Blankpain Bathyscape dial too that was really really bad.

I use the Intellicom faces a lot more lately, its just a more reliable setup. Or I stick with the more simplistic Watchmaker dials.

I was using a Porsche GT3 watch face because that's my dream car and then watch face looks really really cool, but I wash my face with a lock on my Android Wear and would make it reboot itself. So I went back to a facer watch face and that's been a lot smoother

Yeah, every watch dial I install I will keep close tabs on it for a week or so. Any design thats buggy or locks up AW, I delete it. Usually I can tell in a day or two which ones are stable and which aren't.

Oh yes yes, absolutely. I could tell with the old Porsche GT3 watch face through watchmaker premium application that it was trash on my Android Wear watch Moto 360 within a few hours it's running sluggish Lee and if I'm correct, it was also because I was rebooting my watch so many times I mean again porsche watch face was beautiful but too slow you're so I said screw it I gave it up...

I purchased Watchmaker Premium and after 2 days uninstalled it . It kept using up my battery. It is the most expensive useless app I ever installed. I use Facer watch faces all the time and they run great.

I used the watchmaker free sweeper face and at times the time wouldn't update when in always-on screen mode. I complained somewhere else in this forum about it. I just launched watchmaker to remember the name and exited and it crashed haha. I think I'm ready to just uninstall it, I am using a stock face and never have problems with it.

The only thing I really like about watchmaker premium is the replication of various watches. Some of them are really nice looking. But the buggy ones are completely useless.

I pretty much use them equally. I switch them back and forth depending on my mood.... intellicom, watchmaker, OEM Motorola, and the Regal interactive dial is one I have been using a lot too. I really like the Regal app for its voice recognition when replying to text messages.
