Guys,
I removed watch styler due to the battery drains and the Widget padding issue in Nova. Now Im on Nova full time.
What are the best and Good looking widgets for the Galaxy Gear?
Any such a thread?

Okay I am slightly new to the theming scene and have been tinkering around with my HTC Desire 2.2 with ADW Launcher, Go Launcher and Launcher Pro. It is safe to say I have ADD with the look of my phone.
Anyway and perhaps its just me, but I have noticed my battery draining faster since I have been using icons packs lately with desktop visualizer. Which basically make each icon a widget right? Now it is my understanding that widgets drain the battery. The stock launcher is on blank, so nothing is running on it, I also use minimal widgets to try and reduce battery drain too.
But I thought the widgets used by icons shouldn't add to power usage as they aren't "running" is that correct?
Thanks for any input!
I've been using samsung calendar clock widget for a week or so now and I've noticed considerable battery drain!!
I've removed the widget and everything's back to normal.
Has anyone experienced something like this?
I mean you would expect samsung widgets to be perfectly optimized for their own devices..
Well, widgets do drain bit of battery, set them to less frequent or manual sync. Also, I find the phone laggy after using 3-4 big widgets.
if u using only samsung calendar clock widget and there a BIG difference on ur battery drain it's not normal.
I think it also depends on a lot of other stuffs like, your firmware, your rom, and what kind of widget etc...
I've tested and tested and it's definitely samsung widget (calendar clock).
With it, battery drains in 6-7 hours with normal usage, and in battery check, it shows Android OS more than 50 percent..
I'm on JVK stock rom..
Maybe samsung has not yet finished optimizing their widgets or something..
I guess I'll have to use similar apps for now.
Anyone knows good apps/widgets like that?
Any help appreciated!
Guys,
I've been searching high and low but haven't found a solution. I've installed null rom on my gear and I'm currently on CM10.2. I cannot get my weather to sync. It says no city. Is there anything particular I need to do? Are there any other compatible clock and weather widgets on the TW and/or nova launcher of the gear?

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.
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)
