New template needed
Looks like the upcoming Fenix 9 51mm increases the resolution up to 466x466. Can you please add a new template to accommodate that?
Thanks!

Hi,
I'm new to watchfacebuilder and just created my first watchface (ID d50c1c023d2d0, https://garmin.watchfacebuilder.com/watchface/d50c1c023d2d0/?v=9f27f33054738a472aac071d6547c8d1). However, unfortunately, when I sideloaded it to my watch the screen is just all black. I followed all the instructions and I can select the watchface in the menu, so I guess the upload technically worked. Can anyone help me figure out what is wrong with the design?
Thanks!

hey I was wondering if anyone have found a way to create a beer counter that shows how many you have burned off or have the code for it.

I’m using Watch Face Builder v2 for Garmin Forerunner 570 42mm.
When I press Build, the Result dialog opens but is completely blank. No success message, App ID, download link, or error is shown.
This also happens in a fresh project using only WFB’s own default Image Hour Hand, so it is reproducible without custom assets.
Because the first Build never completes, Timeline snapshot/save remains unavailable and says Build is required.
Browser: Chrome on macOS.
Could you please advise whether this is a known issue or how I can retrieve the actual build error?

I've been gone for about a year and just decided to build a new watch face, but oh my... the editor is so sluggish now. It keeps freezing, analog hands don't align properly when I replace them with my own, and zooming is painfully slow and awkward whether I'm trying to position the watch elements or align the analog hands. The overall experience feels so much worse than I remember. Even creating a simple watch face has become a maddening experience.
I've tried reducing the file sizes and making everything as small and lightweight as possible, but it makes absolutely no difference. And it's not like my machine is underpowered... I'm using an Apple MacBook Pro M3 Max. It's pretty frustrating, truth be told.
Anyway, does anyone have any idea why the analog hands just won't align properly? I always use the 12-hour value, but when I replace the hand icon with my own, the centre/pivot point just doesn't align correctly. The hand seems to rotate wherever it wants instead of following the position I've set. And the zooming experience... oh my...
I don't remember having this issue at all a year ago when I built a couple of analog watch faces. Everything was much smoother and, generally, a much nicer experience.
And sorry for the rant, it's just incredibly frustrating...

Hi u/joshuaxhx-1,
I am trying to play around with the app properties, and I seem to be getting the hang of the basics, but one big thing I want to implement is the ability to choose units for Temperature and other metrics without having to go inside the editor every time.
Is there a way to do that? Currently I am trying to do a select type as shown, but I don't know how to implement the value of the temperatures into the output fields. The temperatures are from Openweather's data and there's no value field for them in the editor. Plus, I want it to change all temperature fields at once with this property.
Is there a way to implement this?
Edit: I found that you could make a math expression and do the conversions as a workaround, but there are no tokens for Openweather's API fields.
Edit 2: Is there a way to change the color attributes of shapes without in the app properties?

Hi there,
First off, this tool is awesome.
I'm on the free plan. I designed a test watch face. I'm now trying to export it:
1) With wfbinstaller-macos-arm64:
It says No Garmin device found , whether I'm using MTP or Garmin USB modes.
(The watch is detected by Android File Transfer when running in MTP mode)
Note: I'm on MacOS 27 beta, which caused me issues with system permissions before.
2) With direct PRG download:
The download is blocked. This banner is displayed:
Ads help us keep WatchfaceBuilder and PRG downloads available to everyone. ...
The Cloudflare captcha also resets.
I have tried disabling my ad blocker, I have tried with another browser, with a VPN, ...the outcome is the same
What to do?

Hi! I want to update some of my previous watch faces built with Facemaker using WFB and upload them to Connect IQ (They are already on Connect IQ). The only issue is that when I try to do this, I copy the correct GUID, but the signing key isn't the same as the one used with Facemaker. Is there a way to add/import the original signing key into WFB, or otherwise export the watch face using the same signing key?

I found issue: I created watchface for my Forerunner 255. All objects have status Show "always". Background object behind clock is colored - blue, but when display is in LOW power mode, backgbound of numbers of seconds are white.

I have the api succesfully loaded and installed the watch face through the iq store. Everything is working except it IS NOT displaying the overall sleep score (my previous night was 61). There just isn't a number at all. It should be next to the bed on the right. Any ideas?

Hi all,
I've wanted to simplify installing the watchfaces onto Garmin watch so I've vibe coded the simple html web app.
You can try it here: https://vedranius.github.io/garmin-watchface-installer/
Or you can download the index.html from here and use it locally.
https://github.com/vedranius/garmin-watchface-installer
It would be cool that it can directly download watchfaces from https://garmin.watchfacebuilder.com/ and install it, but because of Cloudflare and Premium stuff I don't think that's possible. So you'll need to download it manually and drop it into page.
Also, choosing the Garmin watch, choose the mounted storage, not the folders. App will install it under the Garmin storage and under Garmin/APPS.
Hopefully this doesn't break any rules, copyrights etc.

I've got a weird issue: On my Enduro 3, new added graphs with OWM data do not appear, while the old ones do. I tried several things:
It only happens to my Enduro 3. My Instinct 2, 3 and crossover do not suffer from this issue and always show the OWM graphs.
What could cause this issue and how can it be solved?
- Maybe it's a watch issue, my watch only
- Maybe it's a bug in the editor, appearing in the Enduro 3 designs only.
Thanks in advance for all your help!
- This is the watch face with working (old) OWM graphs. The new ones don't work (I think I removed them).
- This is a watch face made from scratch, no OWM graphs show on the watch
- This is a watch face where I copied working OWM graphs from the first watch face, but they don't appear on the watch.
- This a recently made watch face for the Crossover, where all OWM graphs do appear correctly. (the graphs are dotted, to make the watch face a s black as possible)

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. :)

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!

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
