  • Lower the brightness of photos (AOD won’t work if the watch face is too bright).

如果在常亮显示(AOD)模式下无法显示照片,怎办?

请在表盘设置上选择最低亮度,或把照片调暗再使用(如果太亮手表会拒绝显示)。

Does it work on Gear S2?

  • Yes, but using large photo might freeze the watch face since Gear S2 has less RAM than newer watches.
  • Scale the photo resolution to around 360×360 will improve performance.

这表盘支持 Gear S2 吗?

支持,但尝试使用较小分辨率的照片(约360×360)。太大的照片可能会让手表变慢。

Can I use animated GIF as background?

  • In our test, older Tizen 2-based watch can support animated GIF but the newer watches running Tizen 3/4 and above cannot. The animation only changes about 1 frame per second to save battery life.

我是否可以使用 GIF 动画作为背景?

不一定,新一代 Tizen 3/4 的手表似乎不再支持。不是所有动画皆可使用。

I selected the photo and it shows up as black, what happened?

  • Check to see if the photo is too big? Scale down to around 360×360 size
  • Check to see if the photo file name have strange characters?
  • Rename the file to use only alphabet and numbers (eg photo1.png).

我的照片无法显示在表盘上,怎么办?

缩小照片(约为360×360大小),或为照片使用较简单名字(如:photo1.png)。

I selected the photo and it shows up in wrong orientation.

  • The photo might be too big for watch to handle. Try to scale down to around 360×360 size
  • Send the photo to us to check whether the issue can be fixed

我的照片的方向错了。

缩小照片(约为360×360大小),或把照片寄给我们测试。

I selected multiple photos, but the background does not changed every time I look at my watch.

  • Set the watch Ambient mode to Always On.

我选择了多张照片,但为什么照片并不会自动转换?

在手表的设置中,选择“手表始终开启”。

Why don’t you use Stylize option to configure the watch face?

  • Unfortunately, this option is not available to 3rd party developers at this moment.

After trying all these things, it still does not work. What do I do?

  • Have you uploaded any photos to the watch via Galaxy Wearables (Galaxy Watch) on your phone?
  • If you are using Android phones, the photos must be on device before you can send to Galaxy Wearables (Samsung Gear) app. You might need to select the photo and save to device.
  • Did you remember to enter Edit mode before customization?
  • Select another watch face then select Photo Watch Pro watch face again. This will restart Photo Watch Pro.
  • Try switch on “Watch always on” mode. Some features depend on this feature.
  • Restart the watch to see if the issues go away.
  • Try uninstalling and reinstalling the app. This will clear the caches used by current app and might solved the issues.
  • How do you uninstall Photo Watch Pro? Select another watch face then remove Photo Watch Pro watch face.
  • Upgrade you watch firmware. Open Galaxy Wearables app on your phone and head to Settings. Once there, go to the About Gear option, and then tap the Update Gear button.
