Watch Faces - we need new

[Cyclepunk]

@runomatic The Christmas watch faces look like my 7-year-old daughter painted them. 🤮

@Manuel-Extreme exactly the look of my watch right now. Same band as well. Haha. Like @Cyclepunk says: it does look like a child’s picture. Still like it. A collegue asked me: do you have painted it yourself?

I do like it

[OutdoorMan]

@Cyclepunk luckily we can choose - don’t like it, don’t use it
@Manuel-Extreme I am using the same right now

@Horizontal_2 I love it! With the AOD option, it’s a must-have these days

[Horizontal_2]

@Manuel-Extreme Yeah, the AOD-style is quite nice as well. Whished that for more watch faces. I’d easily trade a 1% per day extra for a better AOD-version. It’s the one you’ll see most of the time. Maybe they could add some contourlines to the default watch face (AOD) of the V2.

Maybe it’s a watch face idea: a coniferous or deciduous watch face

@Cyclepunk it depends on what you expect, if you want to have photorealistic tree with lights emulated by raytracing than yes this is really bad watch face, but i think lot of people like its simpicity, even AOD version is elegant and minimalistic.

I hope infuture suunto would open API for general public to develop own watch faces. It would allow to satisfy everyones needs.

@Tomas5 Suunto has released an update for the Race (1) or the Run where you can add a picture as a watch face, right? That’s a start

[Tomas5]

@Horizontal_2 that can be interesting

[GiPFELKiND]

@Horizontal_2 only for the RUN at the Moment

Just to throw a thought in here, as a (newly minted) Run user: the barometer field needs some help. In Imperial units (which I as American have a love hate relationship with) it shows to the ones place for inHg—literally useless information because it would be the equivalent of showing only to the hundreds place hPa! And whats worse, the barometer trendline (far more useful, and a staple of suunto watches across decades of product lines) isn’t an option at all, despite showing up in the preview (alongside value, in the same field) for “Concentric Analog”. Not sure if that could be fixed faster since it applies uniformly to all existing watchfaces, but man alive is it annoying…

As for needing new designs, I agree with many on this thread that have pointed out a lot of the designs work quite well, and a lot of it comes down to taste. However, as the OP pointed out, there’s some very minor tweaks that could help tremendously, including functional changes like my above noted barometer problem…
