AmazFit WatchFace editor for Windows by SashaCX75

[SashaCX75]

Graphics editor for working with dials Amazfit
The editor supports watch faces from GTR 47, GTR 42, GTS, T-Rex, Verge Lite.

Screenshot

Note: the path to the program should not contain spaces, it is advisable to unpack it to the root of the disk.
Not all dials can be unpacked.
You can reduce the size of the bin file only by reducing the size of the images (height * width) or by reducing the number of images.

The drawing order of elements cannot be changed. The only exception is if you move the second hand from the center, it will be drawn under the hour and minute hands.

If the .bin file is not created, then you need to look for errors in the .log file. Most often this happens when images have the wrong format.

If the bin file is not created, and the log file contains the entry “bad transparency mask”, this means that the format of one or more images is incorrect (most often it occurs if you save the image in Photoshop without transparent pixels). You can fix it as follows:
- in Photoshop - add at least one transparent pixel
- in GIMP exported to PNG 16 bit RGBA
- in XnView - Image -> 32 bits

Beta version of the editor with support for Amazfit X

AmazFit WatchFace editor 2 with support for GTR 2, GTS 2, T-Rex Pro

My editor doesn't work with GTR2 (GTS2) watch faces and I have no plans to add support for these models anytime soon. I don't know any other programs that can work with these dials. I have no information if anyone is working in this direction.

Because I bought a GTR 2e, the program will no longer be updated.

[mention]SashaCX75[/mention] I was wondering if you could consider adding the following feature to the GTR_editor, if this is possible.

The Pulse Segment feature works really well and allows a display of your heart rate exercise zone and can be useful thing for anyone using their GTR for exercise. The 5 zones should be 50%-60%, 60%-70%, 70%-80%, 80%-90% and 90%-100% of your max heart rate. As the max heart rate decreases with age, the calculations need to be based on a max heart rate form then to work correctly. The max heart rate is calculated using 220 minus your age. Currently as far as I know, the max heart rate is fixed.

So, I was hoping that you can add a new max heart rate function, similar to the Steps Goal that is then used for the daily step progress.

Being able to enter your max heart rate would be idea or to enter your age would also work.

Thanks

[mention]muskatim[/mention]
The instruction is in the program.

[mention]spidercrab[/mention]
Setting the maximum heart rate is not provided by the watch firmware. Therefore, it is not possible to add such a function to the dial.
Even if new functions are added in future firmware, I will not be able to add them to the editor until their support is added to the utility that unpacks bin files.

Hi, How can I edit color on the watch face (hour, minute,s, or seconds hands)?

Hi
I modified the existing dial and when I want to pack and compress the BIN it will open a window for me and instead of SAVE it is there that open a JSON file
how do I save the modified dial to a BIN file?

Use photo editing software such as PS to modify the picture you want to change

Can only be converted into a bin file and flashed to the watch

I made a watch face whose compressed .bin file weighs 427Kbs. I installed it on my GTR through the Notify & Fitness app and the watch entered on a bootloop which I could solve by charging the watch. Why this happened if other watch faces weigh way more?

[SashaCX75]

[mention]Joker73[/mention]
The size of the uncompressed file is important.
Possible errors in the watch face.

Possible errors in the watch face.

Uncompressed file weighs 4.16MB.

EDIT: Solved. The problem was related to the big size of the hour hand.

[ThierryC]

Great program Sasha, thanks for your work.
In future versions, Is it feasible to add more Shortcuts on the list of the existing ones: Steps, Pulse, Weather and Energy saving?
Such like Alarm, Countdown, Screen lock, Auto brightness, etc...

[SashaCX75]

Now the watch supports only 4 types of labels. If something changes in future firmware, I will add new types of shortcuts to the program.

I've tested on windows 7 and windows 10 x64. I didn't have such problems, what could be the reason, I don't know.

When working on a watch face, I frequently get an error in GIMP that some or another image cannot be saved and I have to close the WatchFace Editor in order to save. Can this be fixed by ensuring that images are always closed after being read, please?

Give me your project and tell me which image and under what conditions it is impossible to edit. I'll see what the problem is and try to fix it.

[lawrence-dol]

SashaCX75 : It happens randomly to all images in all projects from time to time. All I have to do is be editing some of the images used by the project and pretty soon GIMP will be unable to write one of them when I try to export it. I've had it happen often, probably because I am often editing and refining the images in GIMP and using the watch designer to see the end result as I tweak the image.

You can just open a project and just generate random values while using Process Hacker each time to search for file handles containing the folder name of your project; pretty soon you'll see assorted images held open. The exact files vary for each redisplay, and it seems to happen most commonly with images used for digits, though it's definitely not exclusively these.

It's easy enough to replicate in my workflow -- open, say, the 9 digits used for time display in GIMP, export each once to get through the initial prompts for exporting, then randomly generate display values in the watch designer and each time use CTRL-E to re-export each of the images. Before very long, one will fail to export. In Windows its describes a permission error, but that's normal for Windows when a file is in use. Exit the watch designer and you'll immediately be able to export that image.
