I recently bought a Fossil gen5 Carlyle HR. (Technical data available upon request)
I bought it for the sole purpose of being able to use the DIESEL ON Watch Faces "Heads Up" face on the watch.
Here is the issue though:
It seems that DIESEL ON Watch Faces is a system app, install from the play store is not an option (neither is uninstall) only enable is an option.
After enabling I try to set the face to my current face.
I select the default "Heads up" style and apply it.
The face turns into a "DIESEL ON" logo and no face ever loads.
When I reboot thinking that might be the problem the system boots up with the DIESEL ON Watch Faces app in a disabled status.
I have tried clearing the data and cache for this app, but I always have the same results.
Does anyone have any clues or tips I can try?
thanks ahead of time for your time and effort in helping me solve this problem!
bump !

I too would like to know this. Please reply in the thread !
i ended up returning that watch (the battery life was terrible).
however have since gotten a samsung gear sport. although the carlyle and gear sport are on different OS, the same apps work on both.
I found a diesel ON copy in watchmaker premium called On HUD.
that is what i have been using.

Hello,
I've got a new Moto 360 2nd gen and downloaded some watchfaces from ustwo.
I had to experience that no watchface that should display weather information is able to display any weather information, it just displays nothing or ' --° '.
I resetted my watch several times now, opened the Android Wear app on my phone while switching to the watchface, nothing helped.
My location services are activated, the phone the watch is coupled with is a Sony Xperia Z5.
Anybody who had the same issues who can tell me how to resolve this issue?
Thank you very much!
- Daniel
I am able to answer this question myself.
The problem has something to do with the language your watch is set to.
As I live in Germany and my phone was on German (at least up to now) you miss some (or maybe a lot?) of features on your watch - including the weather information in many watchfaces.
I hope this can help someone!

I am a product manager of a medical application written for Android watches
we use :
Sony smart watch 3
and
LG Watch Urbane 2nd Edition
Since some of our users are elderly and do not know how to use the watch we would like the watch to be in kiosk mode - so the users can only access our application without the
option to exit it by mistake - It will be hard for them to get back to the application.
We tried in many ways to achieve this - mainly making the application the device owner
but we understand this can only be achieved by setting an OS level flag called the Low RAMflag and we have not managed to do that
Have any of you managed to achieve kiosk mode with any watch on the market?
Interested to learn from your experiences

I'm no developer, but would a custom watchface with an invisible button over the entire watchface work as an workaround? Then you "only" need a way to disable the swipe actions and longpress.
Sent from my SM-G935F using XDA-Developers mobile app
Well no...
It not a good solution. we tried it. it caused flicking, does not work with hardware buttons and generally not fitting to an enterprise level software.
Any other idea in the crowd? (Thanks BTW)
Friends,
I need to make a decision on which smart watch to buy and from several models and not clear description, I'm lost.
I need your help/recommendation on this.
My needs are
(1) Continuous Heart Rate Monitoring of course.
(2) #1 should be automatic, so once I put on the watch, it starts monitoring and I do not need to go through any menu and need not press any key to ask it to measure/start monitoring heart rate.
(3) Need to be at least sync to app and be able to download/export the data.
(4) If possible, it should track my running/jogging/walking activity.
(5) Also important, I need time display in large numericals or at least in larger fonts. I hate "fitbits" for their small display as it's harder for me to see small fonts on their display.
On AliExpress, I looked at GW01, X10, X20, K88H, K89 and No1. G5.
Lastly I also read about Zeblaze Blitz.
Now I'm not sure which one I should go for!
Any suggestions appreciated.
Thanks!

I own both k88h and gw01. K88h does not have continuous heary rate. You need to go into menu, enter the heart app, and press start.
For gw01, it does have continuous heart rate. but you still need to into menu, open the app.It will keep measuring your heartrate, and display live result, but only if you keep the app open.

Thank you so much for guidance. I can have the app open and allow the heart rate measuring from GW01.
Do you think it can connect to any fitness app, if yes, can you please tell me which one is more compatible with this watch?
Thanks again,
DP.

There are 2 main app, which is Mediatek Smart Device and Fundo Wear app.
1. Mediatek smart device only allow you to coonnect your phone to the watch, setting app notification, install vxp to watch etc. But no fitness function. But it said that it can be integrated with Google Fit app. But I never tried this.
2. Fundo Wear app same like mediatek smart device but it already have build in fitness function. It will synchronized your watch data into the app.
I cannot tell much which is the best, because I rarely use the watch for fitness purpose now.
Hi i just got my DM98 smartwatch and had a few questions for anybody that has the answers.
1.) I got the watch synced to my phone and i wanted to be able to send and receive text messages, make and receive phone calls, and use the internet.
Question: is there an app or trick to make this possible or am i just S.O.L. ?
2.) I have read that it is possible to create your own clock faces.
Question: Is there a guide that details how to do this?
3.) Question; if i want to do anything do i need to root?
These are all the questions i have at the moment. Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

The trick is simple - go to the play market and look for notification software with a set of features you want.

The guide is simple - you should write your program. It's the most flexible way. Second option - you can go to the market and look for face designer or similar application. It' limited, of course, but you can try it. Third option - get watch face that you like and go into it's folder. There you'll find some pictures and may be fonts. Now you can delete the pictures and replace them with your own (with same name, of course), then restart your watch face application and you'll see your pictures instead of removed. It's most limited customization, but it's simplest.
Here is one watch face application.

If you really want to do ANYTHING you in fact need a lot of money first.

let me clarify a little bit.... i want to do this all through bluetooth. i have tried a bunch of apps and none see my DM98 Smartwatch as a bluetooth headset or anything of the like so i am a little confused with the explanation.

It shouldn't be a headset. It should be something like phone or smartphone with the ability to transfer any data. To connect to DM98 first turn bluetooth on on both devices (DM98 and your phone), next make one of the devices available to connection requests, then the device will advertise itself and second device should see it. When it's seen just touch it and select "pair". Only after this you can start your notification software and use it's communication features.
In short - you should pair devices BEFORE any third party application can do something for you. The pairing is performed using Android's bluetooth settings, no third parties should be involved.

You are talking about communication software. Chinese smart watches usually have just a subset of such functionality. It means you won't get everything pushed. But you can try to look for such software at the market. Search for key words like "notification" "smart watch" and so on.

well if that if the case i have tried many different apps and nothing works so i guess i am s.o.l. and need to return the watch so i can find one that does what i want. i really like this watch though because it is running full android 4.4 with full access to any app in the play store.

Dm 98 stuck in layout mode
I was an idiot was messing with developer options and got it stuck in layout out mode can't close the down to get to main screen the edges are past the pinch to make smaller. With one button can't do hard reset it's not rooted so it doesn't show up when I plug it into computer is there any way to fix this or am I stuck with basically a brick. I really love this device. Can you guys help.
my watch not opening. when i press power button there is nothing happen. what can i do? is there anyway to reset with a button on this watch?
Hi, I have a question, how we do for have the sms on the watch via bluetooth?
Reset
Have you ever tried resetting the smartwatch there's like a small pin hole in the very back of it take something to stick in it the watch will shut off and you just restart the watch back up and that should have fixed the issue
No 1, you can try these aps to enhance your dm98
1. Watch android phone
2. Android control panel
3. Heads up notifications
4. Rotation control
[SOLVED] Still getting used to the tiny keyboard, I had a typo.
I just got the Dev C14 (Bluetooth reports it's actually the DM98) and when I try to log into the Playstore with my existing account, I get past the email and password, but then it says to "Type in the text you see here" with a prompt but I don't see the text. Can anyone help please?
Cannot connect DM98 to Galaxy S8 Active
Hello fellow smartwatch owners. I have the DM98 like the size memory WiFI but cannot get it to connect to my Samsung Galaxy S8 Active. The phone shows the watch and vis a versa, they both are paired, but when they connect the connection is lost right away. Please help if you can

For downloading software use wifi. Start with Google play, etc. Best for installing software is to do it from your computer: just log in to Google Play windows.

Personally I use the much more stable Droid Phone and Droid Watch, on Google Play.
Hi! So I've had this wonderful watch for a few days. Finally getting everything set up, having to use Nova and custom actions, didn't like any of the clockskin faces.
Anyway, a couple of things that I can't figure out and might be related to other watches like this:
1) Google Fit won't count steps. The pedometer is on in settings, when I install the app it updates and shows the steps from my phone. But then, nothing. Doesn't update at all. Is there a workaround? Maybe use another pedometer app to link to Fit?
2) Google Fit and a few other apps I tried can't read the heartrate sensor that the built in (bad) app can. Is there a workaround?
I think all my problems are that this watch doesn't know it's a watch, it thinks it's a phone. I wish we could get custom ROMs on this, I'd seriously pay 30 bucks for someone to get Wear / Open Wear on this!
Sorry, I don't have any workarounds for the Google Fit issues. I do have a question though, how are you getting the watch notifications to show? I installed Nova as well and can't seem to get any of the system notifications to show.
I too would be happy to pay for a ROM.
