Thought I saw a comment ( from Eric? ) about a change to the emulation view for watch faces on the app store.
I was expecting a new method. What I’m seeing right now is no option for this feature anymore.

Can you post a screenshot or logs? I’m not sure what you mean
Let me put it another way.
In CloudPebble there is an emulator to show how your code is working on a watch face.
In the app store there was an option at the top left above the image of a watch face that ran what looked like the same emulator. Same look, inputs, etc.
I thought I had read something about the app store getting a new method for showing how a watch face worked that was an improvement on using this emulator so I went to have a look.
Now there is no option at the top left for this.
Can’t confirm if button have been removed following the addition of the live preview. It may takes a few seconds but now watchfaces run in the browser, and you’ll see a
icon next to it if there is a config page.
Try in browser is for Apps now, for watchfaces the emualtor runs right in the main window.
OK, after looking around for a bit more I found a face with a gear next to it that brought up a settings window. I can see the effect of a change on the watch face. In this case changing the default city name to some nickname.
For that face the change in emulation is indeed nicer.
For my own at Garfield 24 12 - Pebble Appstore that gear did eventually show and a watch with the settings page as seen on the watch shows up. Since I’m only providing a switch from 12 to 24 hour display I don’t see this as anything but “Hey, here’s a picture of the settings page on a watch.” A big brown settings menu does not appear.
For such a small setting feature I expect emulating the change is not in the cards. Rather than using the bit of Clay code for the time format change I must have to use something else to get the full Big Brown Settings Box.
Good catch. Alloy apps are not supported yet. Thanks for letting me know.
