For a second there I thought you actually accessed the bios on the watch and it looked like that haha.
Awesome!
If you did, it would probably be in mandarin. At least that’s what happened when my Android tablet went to shit.
ARM devices kinda dont have a bios, so sadly this wouldnt be possible :(
Could be the recovery menu.
It does say "BIOS Setup Utility" at the top tho...
I know, I meant it as if they were to access something.
And you could have BIOS-themed custom recovery.
I am sure it could be done. Just compare the usual volume button-navigated stock recovery with something like TWRP which could really be considered a small OS.
It's more of a WRIST device I'd say
“Hey, what watch is that?”
Me: “American Megatrends.”
“…”
Me: “it’s EnergyStar compliant.”
Oof. Right in the nostalgia.
Unironically I like that
okay, I admit I like it
It gives information in a high contrast interface. It cares not for your opinions
i don't care it does not care
Looks like the same watch I have. Where do I get this?
Looks like it's on Facer
It sure is
Those are some nice looking arms
Did you stop to consider that they might be an amputee on the other side, and that your pluralization of the word "arm" is causing immense emotional pain and turmoil right now and that the watch face is digital and has no arms. No. You only think about yourself. /S?
Thanks. I guess...??
I've used Facer, it's worth the cost if you like accessorizing regularly. It has a lot of options from indie artists, including replica OG Disney Mickey Mouse. My watch always complains about not being able to save power with 3rd party faces though, and the battery life drops about 40% to 72 hours. Worse with Facer because it's an app that's no doubt doing more than facilitating watchfaces.
Google is pushing towards WFF (Watch Face Format) styles. The new Wear OS 5 watches, IIRC, (not the upgraded ones) didn't even support Facer or Watchmaker initially.
The Watch faces published on Play Store, majority of them, are now in WFF format which translates to improved battery life as well.
What watch is it by the way? I haven't moved into the realm of wearables yet. Maybe next year will be my year to start
Mine is the galaxy 4 classic
Wow. Didn't think I'd get nostalgia flashbacks from a watch face but here we are.
Looks neat, but I think the actual time display is way too small to be useful.
You're missing the point of the face...
But I also didn't realize it was the watch face initially, I thought it was an alternate OS.
They could've made the font a bit bigger for sure
I mean not really...if idea is to mimic legacy bios, it needs to look exactly like that.
I LOVE it!!
Almost makes me want a smart watch
🔥🔥🔥
Advanced
What would the advanced options do?
Oh wait, settings. Then Boot would launch apps.
Probably.
While we're on the topic; any decent smart watches out there that
? I like the concept of a smart watch, but I haven't really looked into the ecosystem. Preferably one that just integrates nicely with any android phone
If you're comfortable with a bit of setup, there are open hardware options on the market. They're reasonably basic compared to a flagship but phone notifications, some health metrics and telling the time are all quite possible.
PineTime (with Infinitime firmware)
If you want to basically make it from scratch there's also the Yatchy
Amazfit with Gadgetbridge.
I bought one a couple of years ago and it works great. Gadgetbridge keeps all the smart functionality local to your phone.
I've heard good things about the Garmins as well which I think are mostly also supported in Gadgetbridge.
Love that you put a Freestyle strap on a smart watch.
Reminds me of the PineTime's Terminal face
Thanks I hate it
this is awesome
notes: Facer is a little bit of a PITA to install, follow the instructions very well.
GW4: It eats about twice as much battery as my normal faces, but I'm still lasting the day.
The text is WAY too small, but it's pretty fun.
❤️
My coworker likes it and wants to know where this can be found.
Hint: :q!
