ShinyChrome:

Timer actually broke after the firmware update; I could see it working, but no numbers.

I found this same issue, I use the timer all the time... still works, just no numbers. It does have a progress ring around the outside which gives a rough idea.

Post Number 500 yay 😎

I'm not a complete idiot, I still have some parts missing.

I am still loving mine. Note 9 + 46mm Galaxy Watch. I just picked up the first gen Galaxy Watch active for my mrs and shes not hating it so far which is good.

Edit: No regrets about changing from Android Wear to Samsung.

@ShinyChome - sorry, comment re Bixby was sarcastic, but lost in the written word! I’ve not bothered with it on my watch or S10+ as early experiences were so bad. That said, the time it takes GA to spool up on the watch means I don’t use that either...

@johny007g I had a play around with it, but I couldn't make My Style work either. I suspect you are right, I could select it as an option, but it didn't give me an option to upload a pic or whatever. Hadn't heard about the flashlight or the camera controller though, might have to do a little bit of digging when I have time.

I couldn't find My Style anywhere not loaded in gear app or watch and couldn't find anything on Galaxy store so maybe not available yet.

Flashlight found info on reddit but not on my watch so perhaps only on the newer active watch's at this stage.

Looks like camera controller only available on S10 & Note 10 models at the moment so not sure about earlier models.

That camera controller app is pretty cool. I'd not read up shot what it did, so had expected it would be just a remote shutter button. That the phone's viewfinder is displayed on the watch was a big surprise. How much use I'll put it to in a practical sense is an unknown though!

If you go into the Wearables app > Watchfaces > Wallpaper, it should be there.

They must have just updated it, because if you go into Customise now, there is now an option for Camera under Background. It actually works pretty well, but ultimately a bit of a novelty.

Unfortunately I can't seem to get the Camera Controller on my Note 9, must be a s10 upwards thing.

Kinda like the s-pen shutter button, it would be good for doing self-shots or where the way you hold it means you can't see the screen.

Had a look in wearables app under watch faces and wallpapers still only my photo and peaks in there no my style yet, so possibly still coming even though my photo looks very similar and possibly why no update yet still only novelty and don't know if i would use. Camera controller in my previous post and link said only available for S10 series and Note 10 series but even this app only similar novelty and don't know if i would use a lot. Pity there isn't widget for this as would be easier to use, did a search to see how to change app to widget and nothing i could find so don't know if any body here knows how to do.
