Watch face overlaps default watch face

Hi every one I’m new in garmin watches and also as developer.

I made a custom watch face for several devices, it works fine on the simulator but on same real devices my watch face overlaps the default watch face.

Someone can tell me where am I doing wrong?

Thanks.

Sounds like it may be crashing. Or maybe you aren't clearing the display when you start. If it's a crash, look in garmin\apps\logs\ciq_log.*

Thanks for your answer.

I noted that only on older devices (Fenix 3 hr, forerunner 245, ...) there is this issue. On my Forerunner 55 there is no problem, the Watch face works fine.

I will check the log file.

Sounds like it could be clearing when you start. On some devices the screen is cleared before onUpdate is called, but that isn't the case on others.

So I must insert dc.clear() as soon as onUpdate function is called?

If you're using layouts, View.onUpdate() will do that but if you are using dc calls, yes. Set the color and then do a dc.clear()

I'm using dc calls, thanks a lot
