Great amoled screen, but no native watchfaces which use more than 5 colors?

Yeah I know . Watch faces need work from Garmin. 

mainly because they are pretty much just reusing the Fenix watch faces which can't.

There are quite a few venu watch faces on the store that can be used for Epix and they show a significant increase in colour options.

But yes overall this is an area that Garmin is failing to fully develop/understand.

Garmin has work to do for this premium Watch . 

But you should also consider that more complex watch faces could potentionally slow down the watch, cause rendering takes more time...

I wouldn't say it would slow it down, I don't think that is an issue, but battery life would always be an issue - the more pixels in use the higher the battery cost. But better use of colours really doesn't affect either. I suspect this is just more a case of diminshing returns in that so few AMOLED models there isn't much point - but as that ratio changes and there is more user feedback around this, it is likely to change.

I meant when you scroll via watch face than it will lag.

Can't speak for garmin, but a lot of watch face developers in the ecosystem want their work to target the widest audience possible, so most watch faces launching are going for the least common denominator.

I'm working on a few watch faces that use more advanced features only available on Epix gen 2.  Specifically, our resolution is so much higher that I can make watch faces that just aren't possible on Fenix that has half the resolution.  I created a dupe of the TAG Carrerra watch, and I was able to get a lot more detail into the little marks it has between the minute ticks.  On Fenix, there wouldn't be enough pixels between to have all the sub-ticks.

But until more watches get AMOLED support, it's probably going to be a stretch to get many watch faces that take advantage of the special capabilities of the epix gen 2.

myaro , when you will have your faces published in the App Store .

hit and miss - have had some watch faces that work as well as stock watch faces and others with lag, and others with battery drain and others with both. Really just a case of trying them out and seeing how you go.

As a general rule I am pretty fine with the stock watch faces - just select the brightest colours (love black background and bright yellow hands - and often ran that combo on wear os - didn't work on the Fenix as the yellow was too pastel - in fact even had that combo on most of my mechancial watches and on the one I kept  (my dive watch) it has that combo for the second hand with black dial and yellow highlights along with the lumuous parts).

I'm nearing completion on them now.  I have 3 I'm working on. 

Here's one of them:
