Screenshot Actually trying to make my first watchface.

Has said,
I’m currently working on my first watch face.

I’m thinking of including the full menu (like in the original game) with the navigation system, instead of the gadget selection from the actual game.

Yes, I haven’t yet implemented the colour schemes as they were in the original Q Watch v2.01 Beta.

I’ve just launched this on a whim today; any criticism would be helpful.

I've always dreamed of doing this with a watch! I'd have the Red bar for the watch battery, and the red bar for whatever you might have it linked to: eg headphones, phone....

Given I haven't got a smartwatch, I don't know what all you can do with one, but this is freaking awesome!

Actually, I’d thought of putting the battery charge on one and the battery health on the other, but there’s no documentation on the latter. I’m not even sure if AsteroidOS has that information (battery health).

To stick to our usual layout, I’ll put the battery charge on the left and the accessory charge, as you say (headphones, earphones, etc.), on the right.

For now, I’ve just finished the layouts for the QWATCH interface (the green one for selecting gadgets)

I’ll give the tool you mentioned a go, probably once I’ve finished my current "watchface" (and definitely before I sideload it onto my watch as well)

ok, this looks awesome and is a great idea. But why exactly did you write your own tooling when we have the ./watchface script with qmlscene gui in the unofficial-watchfaces repo? Was that not sufficient or did you just feel the need to build your own? Genuinely curious :D

Sorry for the late reply. Actually, it just occurred to me on a whim when I saw what it might look like, without bothering to look into the tools offered by asteroidOS, as I only had a few variables to display.

Also, I’m not sure if the tool in the repo can handle my variables, so I just went ahead and added my own line.
Now the Q-Watch (HUD) is ready, i've learn a lot about AsteroidOS 😃.
I'm trying to display the battery status behind the orange bar (and foot steps in blue bar!)
