Design, Usability, and App Improvements
- Optimized Rendering
Significant performance improvements have been made to the User Interface, resulting in smoother animations and transitions.- Battery Life Improvements
Various optimizations have been implemented to extend battery life during daily use.- Stability Fixes
Numerous bug fixes and stability improvements have been applied across the system.Expanded Watch Support
- New QuickPanel
The former QuickSettings top menu on the homescreen has been reworked into a highly customizable QuickPanel with many more settings toggles, app short cuts and remorse timer driven power off.- New App Launchers
Four more App Launcher styles have been added. Those can be selected in the new Launcher settings page.- Enhanced Wallpaper and Watchface gallery
Watchfaces are now paired with the user selected Wallpaper already in the Watchface gallery. Helping to find your favourite combination at a glance. Both pages received major performance improvements.- Nightstand mode
Use your watch as a bedside clock or simply show charging much more clearly. Selected watchfaces show a large charging status when power is connected. The nightstand settings page makes this mode very versatile.- New UI elements and polished icons
Improved toggles, progress bars and other UI elements by unifying the design and removing inconsistencies.- New background animation
Reworked design for a more organic feeling of "breathing".- Ringtone vibration pattern
Customise all the things! Here, the vibration pattern on incoming calls.- Calculator app with new layout
Improved button layout for easier operation and better legibility, especially on round displays.- New wallpapers
Extending on the well received flatmesh design, triangulated wallpapers turned out to fit beautifully.- Diamonds
A 2048 like game with a fresh twist. Suited nicely for small resolutions and displays.- More translations (49 languages)
More then 20 languages added since our last release thanks to much welcome community effort.- Noto Sans system font
Supporting the localisation efforts, Noto Sans offers consistent font styles for many languages with custom character set.- Color Emoji
Underlining the flat nature of our UI, we moved from Noto Color Emoji to Twemoji.- Weather app design overhaul
Embracing the new possibilities Noto Sans and its vast variety of font styles offers. The weather app got refined towards better legibility and presentation of very long place names.- Timer app redesign
The timer app works in the background now. It got optimised for use on round watches. The design is now consistent with the stopwatch.- Flashlight app
Yup, it flashes light. Most useful, so it got added to the stock selection.- Animated Bootsplash logo
A very small touch. But yet another possibility for designers to get involved.- Round screens with a flat tyre shape are now supported.

- LG Watch Urbane 2 (nemo) - missing too many features
- Moto 360 1st gen (minnow) - has underwhelming performance, it is the only watch we have ported with a TI SoC.
- Samsung Gear 2 (rinato) - too unstable and too bad power management
- Samsung Gear Live (sprat) - in an unusable state due to persistent display issues
We have created an "Experimental" category in our watch gallery for the above 5 watches since we do not consider those suitable for daily use. We will however continue to provide install images for these watches, and we welcome new contributors with fresh ideas to help improve support! We also continue to monitor supported watches and for example recently demoted the Sony Smartwatch 3 (tetra) due to unresolved hardware support issues.
For a complete list of supported devices and installation instructions, please visit our installation guide.
Apart from adding new watches, the community has also been actively enhancing the support for our existing range of watches. Visit our newly created feature matrix page to find out about the detailed support level for your watch.
