Thank you can't wait! So with the new ConnectIQ will the seconds hand be "always on"? Are you able to use the 240x240 display of the 5/5x/935 for any good use?

Exciting. i noticed yesterday that somehow, this developer already got his watch face to do always on seconds!

very cool (although this face is a bit busy and too small in areas for my needs). i'm looking forward to seeing the constant seconds hand/field, as well more frequent HR updates become more of the norm for watch faces.

I'll add a note here (I'm another developer, and I have a number of watches that do 1hz updates)
The 1hz is how often the screen can update - every second.
For seconds, that means seconds all the time.

However, with other things such as HR, the underlying data still changes at the same rate it did in the past, so you might not see much of a difference even if a watch face uses 1hz on those parts of the screen too. In the case of HR, watchfaces get that from the sensor history, which only changes every 1-2 minutes, meaning you could see it change a bit more often (once every 1.5 mins vs once every 2 mins?) So maybe not as often as you are expecting.

(I have a WF I'm testing on the f5 that uses 1hz for seconds, HR and Step count) (step count isn't real-time either, BTW)

Yes, the seconds hand is always on.
I have been running the watch face on my own watch for a couple of weeks now. Rock solid, no crashes and no apparent extra battery drain :)

thanks for the helpful insights from the Developer side of things.

if i understand you correctly, the data which is displayed in the HR widget that comes with the watches is not available to developers to display on the watch face. that data (in the widget) definitely is updating much faster than once every 1-2 minutes. perhaps 1hz data isn't reasonable, but something that is updated more frequently would be more useful to the end user.

i actually didn't play around enough with the watch face i mentioned previously, but when i did use it, i did see that the steps updated much more frequently with the apparently every second updates.
