I built FitFace Studio — an Android app that lets you edit watch-faces. Pick a face, swap the background, drag the widgets wherever you want, resize the digits, then send it straight to the watch over Bluetooth.

Nothing gets repackaged or re-signed. It edits the face itself and hands the watch those exact bytes.

Fair warning: it's mostly vibe coded. Works on mine though 🙂

Here it is running on my watch:

Excited for others to try. Feedback welcome.

I recently got into exercise for weight loss. I am starting with walking and eventually working up to jogging and maybe running.

I got the Mi Band 9 to keep track of my steps, distance walked, calories burned etc. I have a Samsung phone, and Samsung Health is my primary fitness tracker and Google Fit as a secondary.

I bought the Mi Band 9 because it was the cheapest available 80 bucks ( 21 USD ) at the time. The Samsung Glaxay Fit 3 is on sale now for 114 bucks (31 USD) .

But I am not very happy with the Mi Band 9 becuase I have to use the Mi Fitness app to get my watch data, then use Strava app for it to be able to sync to Google Fit and then if I am lucky it will sync with Samsung health. All the while when I walk my phone is passively counting my steps creating a disconnect between the apps.

My question to people who have used the watches for a while and who really know their fitness watches. What do you suggest: switch to Fit 3 or keep my Mi Band ?.

When I check the sleep chart after I wake up I 99% of the time see that I was waking up a lot of times while I was sleeping which is weird because I have no memory of it but it happens consistently. Am I actually waking up multiple times per night or is it just when I toss and turn my band thinks I woke up? Does that is happen to anyone else or just me?

This welcome message refuses to go away. 90% of the time that I open the Samsung Health app, I get this annoying welcome message. Particularly annoying because of how much screen real estate it takes up and I'm just sick of interacting with it to remove it.

Am I missing something here ? Is there a way to permanently stop this welcome message from spamming me nearly every time I open the app ?

Edit: seems I found the solution, thanks to someone who responded to this thread with what worked for them.

It isn't enough to interact / read the welcome message .... You also have to mark it as helpful. It isn't obvious how you do this, but you need to long press the welcome message and a dialog appears asking you to select thumbs up helpful or thumbs down unhelpful.

Mark it as helpful.

The welcome message came back the next time I opened the app, but the third time I opened the app the message did not appear and has not appeared since. Fingers crossed, but it now seems to be gone for good.

Do text message notification just not work? I've tried and tried. I've found no setting specifically for text just notifications (all are turned on). I found a post about google messenger not working and to use the Samsung messenger app, but thats being disconnected and isn't usable. Help? Otherwise I'm just returning the device.

My Samsung galaxy fit and my phone is both counting my steps. I tried to google solution and it says I can choose the spurce of the steps, however I cant find that on the new Samsung 7.0 app.

Anyone had the same issue or have a solution?
