The update may cause your watch face to stop updating the displayed information in ambient mode
After updating their Galaxy Watch 4, the Redditor found out that their favorite hand-coded watch face does not update the displayed information while the watch is not in use and the Always-on display option is enabled. When they noticed the problem, they started looking into what might be causing it.
According to the Redditor, a possible cause of the watch face not updating the displayed information may be that, after the update, the Galaxy Watch 4 smartwatches no longer utilize the onTimeTick method, which is a block of code that when called upon by the smartwatch will update the displayed time while the watch is in ambient mode.The Reddit user explains that older watch faces use"WatchFaceService.
Well, the Reddit user also explained that recent watch faces don't use WatchFaceService.Engine and therefore shouldn't be affected by the issue. So, if your Galaxy Watch 4 doesn't update the time when you don't use the watch and the Always-on display option is activated, maybe it is time for you to choose a new watch face for your Galaxy Watch 4 smartwatch until Samsung fixes the issue.
