Hate to do this, but I feel responsible since I started it. The abort is still happening. Yesterday I was holding down the Q key since it would keep the emulator running, and it would keep going for much longer after I let the key up. Type ahead must have caused it to keep running and I assumed the BIOS update must have fixed it. Not using the Q trick today and it’s aborting as before.

FYI, not related to the emulator aborting but regarding watch faces. You can use “tap” or what one might call “flick”. The wrist “flicks” over then up again quickly. This is intercepted in the SDK as a “tap”. You might consider telling Claude to utilize a tap instead of a button. That might replace the functionality of 1 button. The other two might be a design decision.
And also, make sure you are using Claude Code. It’s better for programming type questions.

Thanks, appreciate all the suggestions I can get. I have considered the wrist flick option. At this point I’m waiting for touchscreen support in the SDK as I really want more than the apparent binary operation of the flick.
On the coding front I’ve created a design app with Claude that let’s me specify and tweak a wide range of face elements and options that’s been a huge benefit and time saver, so that I don’t need to get Claude to recode just to change a color, or font size, or the exact position of elements. I can go through any number of iterations tweaking a face bit by bit without using Claude at all. Also have a Save option that creates a file of all the designated parameters and a screenshot so I can review and load a previous design and make changes as desired. I have over 90 saved so far. But I’ll definitely look at Claude Code as well and see what advantages it can provide.
Thanks again.

I have some additional observations that I’ll pass along in case it’s useful.
Claude made some significant coding changes to my pbw build code and now most of my faces run much longer in the emulator. Eventually some do abort, but others seem to run indefinitely. So there is a cause/effect in the specific face design elements to the emulator aborts.
Also, I just downloaded a face published on the Pebble store that’s for the Time 2. I ran the emulator with it using “emery” instead of “gabbro”. It aborts in just over 1 minute. Perhaps this could provide some data to determine a cause. Here’s a link to that face:
