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. ---

Sorry, the key phrase is “Try in Browser”. I looked at several faces, none had this option anymore. I looked at an app, it still has this option. ![Screenshot_20261028_123650](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex033/uploads/pebble1/original/2X/2/29c5e6c5437672568ea2beddf3172502a0cbc011.png) ---

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](https://apps.repebble.com/garfield-24-12_e0e2eb47fd0f45ccbd8f1934) 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.
