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.

Thank you both for the replies. I have been working on it and the problem was not in the date, it is that I can't
use more than 6 different elements in the same watchface. (battery, clock, date, steps number, step progress and bluetooth status). When I disable one of this the watchface loads.

I have the same problem with Lori T. In the past I am sure that I was able to load more than 6 elements in one watch face without problem. I found this problem 7 days ago . Do you know what is the problem. (I install the watch face and it is not available) this problem has nothing to do with bin size just with the elements of the Wf

Perhaps it's a limitation introduced with the last watch firmware... Did you update it recently in the Zepp app?

BTW, which watch are you having this issue with?

[Biggie]

@sashaCX75 - Do you want to support the X with your software?

[SashaCX75]

Most likely this week I will post a beta version of the editor with support for Amazfit X. The site already has two watch faces made in the beta version of the editor and there seems to be no problem with their work.

But I am not planning further support for this direction. Let someone else adapt the editor who has the ability to test the watch faces on a real device.

My editor is designed in general for GTR and tested on this model. Amazfit X watch faces have many new features that don't work on GTR.

Version 9.0
List of changes (Google Translate)
Fixed display of date if pictures have different sizes (often pictures for "1" are narrower than others)
Added new warnings about possible errors.
Fixed the order of displaying items.
Added a button to refresh the preview image.
Fixed bugs when converting watch faces.
Updated Chinese and Italian translations.

Beta version of the editor with support for Amazfit X
No further support for the Amazfit X version is planned.

Those interested can further improve this version themselves. The sources can be taken here and here.

PS. Since I do not have an Amazfit X device, I cannot fully test this version. You use it at your own discretion and I am not responsible for the possible consequences.

Thank you so Much SashaCX75

Does anyone have an issue where they select 12 hour digital in the custom watchface setting but the watch still display 24 hour? I've been trying to work this out on the Amazfit T-Rex without any luck so far. Most watch faces also have this issue...

[SashaCX75]

nikkei
For the 12 h format to work must be enabled in phone settings (settings-system-date and time-disable 24-hour format).
The dial itself must also support the 12-hour format.

[hugeyangjing]

@SashaCX75 Huami GTR2 has been out for a long time, but the website still has no third-party dial. When will GTR2 be supported? Is there any plan to support this model?

[SashaCX75]

It is not possible to disassemble the GTR2 dials yet, so there are no custom dials. I am not aware of any progress in this direction.

[Horatius80]

SashaCX75 Hi Sasha, in the latest release 9.0 when enabling 12H format in editor the AM/PM EN is not filled in the json, only AM/PM CN is filled ... please can You check it ? Thanx

[SashaCX75]

Horatius80
Yes that's right. This was done for compatibility with the Chinese version. After such a change, I checked on my watch. The 12 hour format works correctly on my watch. If I remember correctly, these changes were not made in the latest version, but earlier.

I tried to contact you about the translation for the latest version, but you did not get in touch.

[Horatius80]

SashaCX75 Yes I am sorry about not answering. ... Maybe it will be fine to add back option for AM/PM EN. Many users are complaining not functional 12H mode... I just think it could be related to the absence of AM / PM EN ... but maybe I'm wrong.Iam using only 24H so I do not have experience with 12H issues

[SashaCX75]

Horatius80
I'll think about it.
Perhaps the 12 hour mode does not work for someone because they put dials in which it is not there or on the phone it is not turned on. I have not seen concrete examples that the 12 hour time format does not work. For checking, I specially turned on the 12 hour time format on the phone and everything worked. But maybe it still depends on the regional settings.

[Horatius80]

SashaCX75 yes one 100% it has to do with regions, some GTR47 watches has font v11 and some v10 based on region. If I know right than CN has v10 and for example my Czech (EN) has v11.

help me. why pack and compressed bin nothing happen

[ThomasAn.]

About distance: It seems the face always report Km even if the phone is set to miles. There is a drop down for the distance units png, but there is no way to select units ?

[Asetia19]

Do you have a tutorial please

[SandraMichael]

Thank you SashaCX75 for the great Watchface Editor!
I want to create a watchface for the Amazfit X. The operation is clear so far, but I can't create a .bin in the end. The "Pack and compress" button is greyed out. When I press the "Pack" button, a white window flashes briefly, but no .bin. Does anyone have an idea what I'm doing wrong?

And the "Brief instructions" in the "About" tab do not open with me either. Can I find the instructions elsewhere?

Thanks you for your help

[SashaCX75]

SandraMichael
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.

[SandraMichael]

Unfortunately, there is no log file. I also tried it with another downloaded .bin. I unpacked this at first and then wanted to pack it again. It doesn't work either.

Btw, if there is a .bin and a . log, then in the folder where the .json is, right?

I saved all the graphics as PNG-24 and 96 dpi again, which unfortunately didn't work either.
Maybe I need another "Command for packing the watchface" as "--x --file"?

Thank you!

[SashaCX75]

SandraMichael
The necessary commands for packing should be written automatically, depending on the chosen model. You don't need to write any additional commands.

.log file should be created in the same folder as .json file

You can send the source files, I will check this case in them or something else.

[SandraMichael]

But that's really nice! Thank you!

There are two different versions included. TIME16a should work. The TIME16 has different graphics for the tens and units, which is the next problem
It's for Amazfit X.

[SashaCX75]

SandraMichael
I tried to build your project into a bin file. I collected everything, but for some reason only on the second attempt after restarting the computer.

But such a dial won't work. Due to the large size of the pictures with numbers, the file size is very large and it will not be installed.
To reduce the file size, it is desirable to use one set of pictures to display different values.

The ImagesCount parameter for the time must be 10 (in any case, this is the case on older watch models). If you want to not display zeros at the beginning of the hour and minutes, then this is done in a different way.

[SandraMichael]

Thank you for the effort and the valuable tips!
I did some watchfaces for The Band4 before, there was the ImagesCount no problem. That's why I thought it could work here too.
I'll probably try a more normal design first.
Packing now works for me too, because I have re-downloaded your tool again.
