Timer App - no active timer

As I said it's an app that contains the alarm, timer and stopwatch apps unified in one single app.

You can find it either between the various activities by pressing the start button when you are on the watchface and searching for it there or (only on the 955) on the quick menu that you access by long pressing the light button. If you don't find it there you can add it by going on options>appearance>controls>add new and adding it to the quick menu.

Interesting. The normal way to access the timers is through the timers entry in quick menu, and if you do, you'll see the active saved timer counting down in the list.

I suspect the Clocks activity is an historic oversight.

I tried setting a quick timer and when I went back to the app its showed the timer counting down (12.27)

Stopwatch seems to work

Alarm works as well.

All through the Clocks "Activity"

The clocks app is not legacy software, it's a convenient way to access all the common clock related functions.

The problem in using the timers app to view the active timers is that that view shows ALL the timers, not only the active ones. The clocks app should instead show only the active ones, but it is currently bugged.

With "from the clocks app" do you mean you opened the clocks app, then pressed the down button to go to the timers section and saw the active timer, or do you mean that after opening the app and pressing the down button you also pressed the start button to go to the timers app?

By the way I can confirm that in 12.23 the stopwatch and alarms sections work in the clocks app, it is only the timers section that has that bug.

Go to where you start you activities , Its listed on the list there 

I went to clocks App

Then page down to timers and it Shows the timer counting down, but see below:

Ok I see what you mean . If you have a saved timer and look at the clocks app then it doenst show unless you go further into timers by pressing start.

When I tried it initially I only had one timer running that wasn't a saved timer

So No Active Timers is not correct as you say.

Exactly, so the bug is still present in the 12.27 fw.

The Clocks activity can't cope with saved timers, only with a single "Quick Timer". It feels like a bit of legacy software which hasn't been updated to keep up with the increased functionality (multiple active countdown timers) present elsewhere on the 955.

The documented way to access countdown timers is through the quick menu (long press on Light button).
