I'm too new here to post a URL apparently..
If you google "Samsung Gear Watch Designer" you'll find the watch face designing tool.
If you find out how to modify an existing watch face that came preinstalled, please let me know! I'd love to modify the Activity Sparkles watch face to have a date on it.

Is there any way to add play/previous/next buttons on the home screen?

1. Download Gear watch designer (just google for it)
2.Download Java
3. install them
4. open gear watch designer, tab projects and own author and distributor certificate (by connecting your fit gear 2 pro and logging in to your samsung account)
5. Start playing around

Do you know de app IDs? Im trying to open the timer with a button and don't know how.
Thanks

If you like you can search for Digital Black by Shivam Acharya.

Where can I download the app Gear Watch Designer? I only found a link to the new version Gear Watch Studio, but this app is not compatible with the Gear Fit Pro 2.
Man thanks for your help!

Mr. Time Maker (Make own watchfaces or use finished faces)

Thanks to supersoulfly, he wrote it already:
I don't know if this app is available in the US market yet, but it became available last night in Korea. It lets you do custom analog watchfaces and download ones others have made.
It needs a watch app from the gear store, a google play app on your phone, and a website is used to make the custom faces.

It works great! I already made a few faces.
It's really a great app. Here's some I've made.
Any improvements let me know!
(28/10 Seamaster updated to higher quality and daylight version added)
Did anyone have trouble with the app constantly logging you off?
Digital readouts or no?
I prefer digital watches instead of the analog hands, but I need one with the date displayed on the main screen, is it possible to make this type of watch face on this website/app?
Not in a hurry because Im returning my S2 and waiting for the S2 Classic to show up anyhow, but...
Not digital, no. Sorry
The app will not allow me to send watch face to the phone. I'm signed in but that option is grayed out. I can cancel or make it a favorite but not send to phone. Am I doing something incorrectly?

Reboot your watch and try it again (holding the home button for 7 seconds)
Having the same issue. It is grayed out. I rebootd my phone and watch and it still does work.
The same here... Sending option is grayed :/ Any clues (besides rebooting, as it has done)?
After installing MR.TIMEMAKER app with the samsung app store you must select MR.TIMEMAKER watchface at your gear s2 than you could send the watch faces to your watch.

I wasn't able to find that in the Galaxy Apps (store). All I found was the app on Google Play.

I am assuming this will work on the 3G version?
The Samsung app store on my Galaxy Note 5 was messed up so I backed everything up and factory reset the phone. After the restore, I finally can see the app and watch faces in the store again. Yay!
When all else fails, RESET!
Anyone notice the watch face displays Chinese writing with a checkmark sometimes using custom displays? Also I swear it doesn't wake as often using tilt. Could just be me on the last issue though
I get through all the watch creation stages and then it refuses to geberate the watch. Annoying or what. Anyone else got this problem and solved it?

Unofficial repo for .gwd files?

Have not had the Gear S3 long but already I get the impression that the watch face choice is maybe not as wide? at least in terms of official replica ones. I am guessing that copyright issues mean that a lot of very nice faces were either removed from the gear store or never made it there in the first place?
I did find the watchland app but I cannot install the gear companion app in the UK (just says not available in my region) From browsing the phone app though there are some nice faces on there and it got me thinking that surely there must be an unofficial repo somewhere of .gwd files? ones that have been removed or did not make the official stores.
Any ideas?

new to this and trying to get watchland and install it where did you get it from
Fingers crossed...
Could not get watchland installed on the S3.
There are lot of nice looking faces in the watchland phone app, would be good if they could be accessed elsewhere.

I have Watchland installed on my S3 just fine. You have to load the companion app from the Samsung app store and then change the face widget and then load. It's kinda cool because I use it to sideload the faces I make with Gear Watch Designer. I also use Mr. Time Maker. It has an online design tool which is a little limited but it has a big repo of designs made by the community. None of the design apps I have used are very powerful but not bad for basic designs.
I tried this app but fails when trying to install the watch app by saying not available to purchase or not available to this location?

With the watchland app, it will download the .gwd files to your phone. Just open those files with Samsung's watch designer and send them to your watch. Nice thing is you can change up the design a bit if you want.
Great idea Any idea where the files are stored on the phone?? - Ignore this - they are under "watches" in the download folder

Are you looking for the Gear Watch Designer program file for the PC or a specific watch face created with the program? (It creates .gwd files.)

It doesn't exist. Just have to get the phone app, download the face you want to your phone, then email the file to yourself to install from your PC on Gear Watch Designer.

You can download the S2 version from their facebook page, https://www.facebook.com/DaragonTech/, it should work for with the S3 if you manage to install it.

Probably need to sign the .wgt file with your certificate which holds your Device Unique ID (DUID).

Thanks in advance.

"Facer" and "WatchMaker" lets you create, buy and import numerous third party faces.
Check out some marvelous smartwatch groups on Google communities.

With Blood Pressure to work, you have to install Samsung Health Monitor app ( SAMSUNG app store ).
If this Samsung Health Monitor does not show up for you (in Samsung app store) its most likely that your Region is not supported.
Please note
You have to find out if your Region is supported by Samsung ,for this function to work .?
You also have to calibrate the watch via this Samsung Health Monitor app with a Blood Pressure machine/monitor .It is actually very straight forward .
Just follow prompts on the relevant app .
In Watch face studio there should be 3 or so examples
I had to learn via "trail and error "
Good luck
