WATCH FACE STORE SPAM FUTURE DISASTER.

Hello, as a watch face designer with experience and working previously with Huawei i can tell that the watch face store is on its way to its doom...

People create watch faces using only pictures from the web, rearrange the time, steps and heart rate and done. 

From my experience and a well known fact from developers who used to be in Huawei we know that spamming the watch face store like that was what broke Huawei watch face store, now these spammers are in Garmin watch face store uploading 50 watch faces per day and they all have the same way to "design". So no wonder why they give you coupons for 312 of their watch faces for 9 dollars. That's the value of their "work", "design", "talent"

We gotta raise awareness to the people in charge of the store before the same happens here. 

You create a perfect watch face designed for athletes ave it can take you up to a week working on only one watch face to make sure it is high quality, efficient, sport focused but it gets pushed down to 120 spots down in 2 or 3 days, visibility is null thanks to this copy/paste 5 minutes watch faces who didn't learn how they affected the life of many talented designers and now they're doing it here.

As I mentioned, these people caused the end of good designers in Huawei since everyone was removed their right to upload new watch faces since the store got flooded with this 5 minutes watch faces, they tried to fix it by limiting the amount of works per week uploaded per designer but it was too late, there are a few of these spammers here but trust me, there are more coming soon specially since now they can use Kueski to get paid. Huawei opted to close new works submissions for hundreds of developers including spammers and sadly real designers too. 

  • Don't bother. Garmin started to compete with 3rd party devs in the shop, promoting their own lame designed watchfaces. There is no point to create anything useful for Garmin and this so called dumpster "shop" which Garmin allows to be on purpose. Unless they lied that every application goes through a review. They didn't lie, right? RIGHT?

    And let's laugh together what we have in "Recommended" section on ConnectIQ promoted today by garmin:

    • Ball Games. 10 downloads, 3.0 rating. Good job, Garmin.
    • Spider-Man. 100 downloads. 4.4 rating. Toy for kids.
    • Darth Vader. 100 downloads. 5.0 rating. Another useless toy.

    Well. Even recommendation didn't help much to get attention to this trash.

  • Without mentioning that they all have copyright issues.
