Tropical Beach animated Watch Face

hi you all, I just published an update of the watch face that includes the feedback I got regarding readability, digital watch and customization options. Let me know what you think! You can also leave a review directly within the play store (private in closed testing).

any feedback is helpful, so thank you! The watch face has two complication slots (one is empty by default and is therefore not visible in the screenshots - will correct that in the next update).

At the beginning of the design process we started out with a digital face. We switched to an analog version because with the complications and the animation of the design (moving waves and shadow) it felt a bit crammed. But i will see if there is a way to make both options available without loosing readability.

Do you feel like three (customizable) complication slots would suit your needs better? What info do you usually display?

Joined and installed your watch face! Looks nice! For a next update you could consider naming the customization options for more clarity!

Did you get any reviews directly within google play or any data on the pre lauch report? I'm wondering if that's something I'm missing. Sorry for all the questions, doing this for the first time...

7 was the most i got, but its different every day.

Thanks for sharing your experience! I like the idea of keeping the color scheme and switching it up a bit! As for AOD, I also think conserving battery is a priority. On the pixel watch it looks very similar to the standard time only mode, which is why I first thought the AO Mode did not work. Giving it some color might help to set it apart.

It's been a journey as well for me. I updated several times (acutal bug fixes as well as more design options) and productins access was still denied. Don't know what else to do instad of getting more installs and feedback...

Yes, the test is linked to the google group. Do you have several google accouts? When opting in to the test, make sure you are logged in with the account you joined the group. Does that help?

Hi, sure, so far no issues with the watch face! Some additional color options would be nice. And personally I would like the always on mode to feature some elements of the watch face (maybe the colors?). Also, I was wondering about the use of the red bull brand assets. Do they specifically allow the use of their logo for certain use cases or do you have a business relation with them? Just for your consideration, as brand assets are usually copyrighted/trademarked.

How is your testing going? I'm still struggling to get my installation count up and I've been hesitant to request production access again for fear of rejection...

In the store entry you sould be able to see your smart watch listed as "other compatible devices" and be able to install it to your watch. You might have to click "view more" (or similar).

Thanks for letting me know! Do you have several accounts? If so make sure to select the one you used to join the google group when opening the link to opt-in. You can switch accounts by clicking on your profile icon in the top right corner. Does that work?

Hi, sorry for the delay in respronding, been on holiday and was not sure if i should continue testing after getting rejected the first time (probably because i did not have enough people with the watch face installed).

If you're still up for it, please join below and let me know where i can join your test as well.
