Showing part number?

Is there an easy way for a user to get the part number of the device?

Why do I ask?

Because a 235 user is saying the layout of my watchface looks like it's for a square watch. I do this (snippet follows)

var part = Sys.getDeviceSettings().partNumber;
if(part.equals("006-B2156-00") or part.equals("006-B2431-00") or part.equals("006-B2157-00"))

Set a flag accordingly and layout the watch face depending on the value of the flag. This works 100% in the simulator and for MANY MANY other users of the 230,235,630,D2,Fenix,Fenix HR,VA,Epix,920.

The only thing I can think of is that this users particular 235 device isn't returning 006-B2431-00.

This maybe a clue : "I'm using 235 with SW version 3.30 (Thai version)". Does the thai version return a different value?

I could write a little app that simply shows the part but is there another way? Ta.

World wide and APAC watches will return different part numbers. You can look at all the part number entries in the devices.xml file listed under a specific device ID entry. In this case these are the part number entries for the 235:

Thank you :-)

This is the kind of situation where using a resource to indicate the device is probably the best solution. You can create a device-specific resource file for each device model. That will allow your app to work properly for all variants of the device without having to compare device strings. I found that having many device strings in a program consumes a lot of memory.

You could just use System.deviceSettings().screenShape as an easy way to see what display you're running on, and just worry about device specific stuff on something like "SCREEN_SHAPE_RECTANGLE".

you mean something like a model wise template?
how one could do that?

model wise font sizing and spacing is driving me mad!
