The "Aviator" Watch Face has been updated with the new name "Skymaster". It now has as option, to remove the logo, customize the text and other features. Can't say I've used it long enough to see whether it would cause issues in its latest form.

I used SkyMaster 1 day (18H) and no problem. It has now a setup for dim mode to reduce brightness.

Received my G Watch R for Christmas. Did the screen "burn-in" using Stuck Pixel Fixer at max brightness for 4 hours, and i've tried various watch faces with always-on mode since then, brightness switched between 3-4. So far so good, no burn-in/ghosting to be seen.


What color/colors did you use with stuck pixel?

I have been using Skymaster for over a week. So far so good.

To those of you with 5.0.1, have you seen the new "Red" stock face? There is significantly more white, and all the numbers and dials are present on the dimmed face. Can anybody confirm that this is an increased risk for burn in? I'll post a picture later if no one has seen it yet.
I just got the update. With the brightness set to 1, the dim mode on that face looks brighter than the non-dimmed mode.
Hi all - first post! I'd like to know peoples' thoughts on this too - I picked my GWR up today and I love it and the Red face is my favourite of the stock faces but the dim mode contains a lot of white, fairly large, fairly bright elements. I've tried to post an image but the site won't let me yet...

Thanks in advance!

Edit: Creating an album on here will let me post a piccy:

Used Daytona for too long and when I changed the watch face I found this.

Any advices?

Hmmm. I haven't noticed any burn in on mine yet, but I haven't used that other face you were using.

I did see ghosting one time, but it faded out within a few seconds.

So, on another note, could you give me the link to that awesome white speedmaster face in your screenshot?

Thanks, will leave it for a few days and see,

I believe i found those watchfaces on the moto360 forums
That's cool. I hope it does go away. Have you tried stuck pixel fixer yet?

Also, I've never used a watch face that didn't have a OLED friendly dim mode. I used the stock ones as kind of guidelines, but even a few of the stock ones seem risky.

If using the stock ones ends up with permanent screen burn in I think there's a pretty good case for RMA to LG for repair under warranty

I don't know where you are from, but it specifically says in the warranty of my watch that burn-in could happen and it is not covered by the warranty.

A rough translation:
"Do not show static images for a long time on the watch. It could lead to overheating or forming of marks on the display."
"Apps that show one and the same image for more than 10 minutes are not recommended, as possible screen damage is not covered under warranty."

The device has built in burn in protection that should work properly with the stock faces. So no image is static for 10 minutes. If stock is causing burn-in issues. Then LG should provide a replacement unit.

Do you know if the facer or watch maker app also use burn in image shifting? I've not looked into it. I'm holding off using custom faces till I can be sure they are safe
