I can help you at least on some of it (just not the round square part as I only develop for the Vivoactive HR) .. send me a PM with a bit more specifics.

In the samples directory in the SDK there are a few different watchfaces, and also, in Eclipse, if you do a "file>new>CIQ Project", you can cteare a very simple watchface from a template (this is demonstrated in the "Programmers Guide" that's also part of the SDK).

The Programmer's Guilde will also show you how to import projects in "samples" so you can run them.

With "file>new>CIQ Project", if you use the template for a watch app, seems that it generates a simple app with an image as the background.

For the different screen geometries, you may find it easiest to have different images for different devices, and that's also described in the programmer's guide under "overriding resources" (you can have different bitmaps and strings based on the device or language, for example)

Thank you! I'm starting the project soon and will give a shout here :)

Hello @vivoactiveHRGuy - I saw your response and wondering if I could also request some support that hariskadir asked about :D For the background image.
