After the new watch styler update...time shows only in 24 hours - Samsung Galaxy Gear

I downloaded the new watch styler app and now all of my custom faces with the digital clock setting all show as a 24 hour clock. I checked the settings and it's on 12 hour clock on the phone.

Time format on Gear/Watch Styler

Are there some clock faces on watch styler that are only in 24hr format? Before the most recent update I could've swore I remembered there being an option to switch between 12hr and 24hr. When I switch to the normal clock it goes into 12hr mode but on my watch styler it is 24hr. Am I missing something?
Ran across this too. Half of the digital clocks are 24hr and I see no way to change it. Probably another reason it was pulled from the app store.

Clocks went back..weather widget wont correct. Any ideas?

My stock 2.3 LG Optimus 2X updated for the end of British Summertime last night correctly. But the weather widget did not and is still one hour fast. I have cleared all data on the widget, rebooted, switched the clock on and off from using network data and still the weather widget is one hour fast. But I must have solved this problem last year! Its driving me nuts! I have searched on XDA and on Google and there isnothing for the problem this way round..internal clock ok but weather widget 1 hour fast. Any ideas?

[Q] Weather updates not working - and Samsung Helpdesk can't help either!

Ok I'm running a stock Gear with Galaxy S3 LTE 4.3 And Accuweather HD widget and Accuweather app. Both are set to the same cities, home, New York and Gilbert AZ which I use for work. The home city is updating hourly as per Gear Manager settings.
However the watch is not updating either NewYork or Gilbert, plus Los Angeles which is not even on the Accuweather app! All these cities show last update of 12th Jan and do not do anything. Samsung hd in the UK haven't got a clue; furthermore they don't even have a Gear to replicate the issue!
Can any one help get these subsidiary cities to update? I've restored, rebooted and wiped all the apps and gear. Nothing.
Live and learn. I never knew you could scroll left and right on the weather to see additional cities. What you're having trouble with does work on mine. Although, as I'm typing, the geo-located city won't update and still shows an earlier time than the non-geo-located cities.
Are you using the Samsung weather app? Third party apps, even those sourcing from Accuweather, have no impact on what's shown on the Gear. There are two places on your phone to adjust the weather on your Gear. The Samsung Weather widget (clock) and on the lock screen when you drag down the clock to expose the weather and agenda. Third party apps, even by Accuweather, have no impact on the Gear's weather display.
If you click on the Weather Widget on your home page...
This pops up...
It's where you can control the weather the Gear sees. It and the lock screen pull down are also where you go to refresh the weather on the Gear if it's out of date. And if it is out of date it's not because of the Gear it's because Samsung's Weather app failed to refresh when you set it to. You'll notice that the update time on the Gear is always the update time from the Samsung Weather app.
P.S. - I don't use the Samsung Weather widget. So when I need to access it I'll delete a widget like Flipboard that's the same size and place it there while I'm working on it. I delete it when I'm done and put Flipboard back.

Thank you! Actually I don't have the Samsung weather running on lock screen, the S3 I have only allows clock and custom message. And the widget isn't shown either. So....what I did was to download the S3 weather shortcut app from playstore and BINGO! I have the cities all there! So now I can update the settings,and hopefully the Gear will also update!
I am trying to get as much out of the Gear without rooting and this is the last major problem I faced. So thank you again!
All working 100% so thank you again!
you can get a five day forecast for any city added to your Gear if you tap on its initial location. Swipe to go back.

And thank you. I downloaded a shortcut creator from Play and created a link like yours for the S3 to the Samsung Weather app so I'd don't have to swap widgets to access it. And the shortcut stays even after removing the app (I hate keeping one-off apps installed).

Me too. I have created a folder on the S3 home page called Gear Apps which contains the shortcut and other apps like Gear Manager and Tablet Talk. Makes it easy to access the specific apps I need for the Gear.
I may well attempt to root for full internet access via Bluetooth tethering when the Gear 2 comes out and this becomes surplus. At the moment I'm just having fun trying to push stock to it's limits!
One other question, that you or someone may be able to answer.... I have no contact names showing only numbers in tablet talk messaging. I have a .vcf file of all the contacts from my 'phone. Which folder should this go in on the Gear to ensure all the numbers receive the contact names? I can transfer using Wondershare MobileGo. Thank you!

Adding notification icon in watch styler

Hi,
How can I add the notification icon on my watch face in watch stayler?
Thanks
You can't. What you see is what you get.

You could achieve this with null rom...... there's a function on nova launcher to overlay widgets. I think there's also a gear specific app somewhere in this part of the forum called noticounter, or something like that. Set up using watch styler as your widget on nova then whack the noticounter widget on top. Should do the trick. I hope that's what you're looking for.
Personally I prefer using a zooper widget on my gear set up. Bit more choice in what I can do and it doesn't drain the battery like watch styler. There's probably a way to display notifications through zooper but I've not tinkered with that.

Clocks freezing?

Does anyone else notice clock widgets seem to freeze every so often so the time shows incorrectly? I've turned off battery optimisation for the widgets but it still does it
Not on mine... I use Beautiful widgets for the clock and it keeps on ticking (I don't lick my Note 9)....
Are you a 3rd party or the Smasung clock widget? I think I used Sony Xperia widget on my V20. It featured this behavior occasionally if I had not touched my phone for awhile. It would update itself after stretching out and yawning some more. My note9 with in house widget is not doing this.
Using better dashclock and another widget (that's the name lol)
