Hello, i have amazfit bip s and like the watchface. would it be possible to edit the watchface to show the time in 12h format vs the current 24h format. i looked at editing the json but am not knowledgeable enough to edit it correctly. thank you

@matheson993 hi, i didnt created the WF for the bip s. but i pinpointed the creator to your question.
You would have to download the watchface editor, unpack the watchface, change to 12h format and compress it again. Please have a look at the guide. The compressing part would be the following one:

See artems comment below ignore my one.

The clock format on the watch is defined by the phone system time settings. You can go to Settings > Additional settings > Date & time > Time format, menu on your phone, and select 12-hour.

I tried it on my Bip S and the 12 / 24H system change didn't work. For Bip S, the time mode is directly in the watchface setting.

Hm, indeed, it seems Bip devices use another approach. So @twinko were right regarding watchface editing. You would need to add "AmPm" field into the "Time": structure and repack watcface.
Here is a simple example of the WF json

{
    "Background": {
        "Image": {
            "ImageIndex": 265,
            "X": 0,
            "Y": 0
        }
    },
    "Time": {
        "Hours": {
            "Ones": {
                "ImageIndex": 255,
                "ImagesCount": 10,
                "X": 87,
                "Y": 26
            },
            "Tens": {
                "ImageIndex": 255,
                "ImagesCount": 10,
                "X": 37,
                "Y": 26
            }
        },
        "Minutes": {
            "Ones": {
                "ImageIndex": 255,
                "ImagesCount": 10,
                "X": 112,
                "Y": 77
            },
            "Tens": {
                "ImageIndex": 255,
                "ImagesCount": 10,
                "X": 62,
                "Y": 77
            }
        },
        "AmPm": {
            "X": 0,
            "Y": 0,
            "ImageIndexAm": 233,
            "ImageIndexPm": 234
        }
    }
}

I am wondering if you know of a watchface that uses xDrip+ and/or Nightscout and can show me IOB. I have a WearOS watch currently with xDrip watchface. It doesn't show IOB. Here is a screenshot of my Nightscout showing IOB. thank you

[twinko]

@gth001 im really sorry but you are mixing up a lot of things.
xdrip+= android app
nightscout= backup and visualization of your diabetes data online
WearOS watch= The solutions/ watchfaces here are for amazfit products in combination with artems releases

Personal note: to be hones i have never looked into wear os products due to the pretty bad battery life (1 day vs 7-14 days).

[gth001]

You're right, I was mixed up.
I would be willing to buy a Amazfit watch, if that's all I need. WearOS has been nothing but trouble. It doesn't last a day of charge, Google assistant never responds.

@gth001 my recommendation. Get an account at patreon and wait for the gtr3 development from Artem https://www.patreon.com/xdrip_miband?utm_campaign=creatorshare_fan
This will be a huge boost, a specially for watches. Please read into amazfit watches, they are just pretty good fitness band, not a smartwatch, but to be honest I never met a person that really needs a smartwatch.
And amazfit watches doesn't work as a receiver. Means you need your smartphone to have it work.

He's Ukrainian and helping a lot of diabetics. Perhaps a small donation will speed up the development.

Just to. Let u know. Im using a gtr2e for more than a year now and its working like a charm. I have about 7 days of battery life with always on screen. If you use a miband it will extend up. To 14 days.
