I just reached out to Al Rod and donated so I could get the Super Touch. I asked about additional interactive watch faces and this was his response.

If you had visited the watch face section of this website you would have seen all the information you need and it would not have cost you anythingā¦
You do realise that we have the largest watchface collection for Android watches on Web?
All you have to do is look.

I donāt know why we donāt take this review seriously but our topic should be this video for next tens of messages.
No one should be trying to use a watch as a video recorder.
Itās ridiculous to expect this to be acceptable.
As I have said before, I will be actively campaigning to have this option removed as a standard feature.
Recording video from a smart watch should not be done.
Of course it will overheatā¦ Jeez!
What do people seriously expect will happen?

So cool. Now I have installed some more of the required apps I have got 15 of the 21 Supertouch V5 KP2 watch face buttons working including Contacts/phone, Google Assistant, weather, Google maps, Calculator, Calendar, stop watch, Spotify, Music player, camera, fitness programs, Google fitness tracking, pulse rate, A very handy volume control and Messaging (accessing the the preinstalled Kospet MMS app that lacked a button to access it). This watch face would have won Kospets competition hands down.
I got lost trying to navigate the pages and gave up when I realised that most (if not all??) of the watch faces were made for smaller screens and there didnāt appear to be any ready reference index system or consistency of post names that would narrow down searches.
I take the review very seriously. As it gives great insight into how far technology has come. Freaking amazing. I think the problem here is that too many people have developed unrealistic expectations around technology, new product development and performance expectations. Holy shit, it was only a thousand nappy changes ago that watches had cameras installed for the first time.

Yes it is serious and Mr Ticks is a good friend of mine.
He is responding to customers expectations and questions.
However, you are correct.
The expectations have become unrealistic and the issue is that people are thinking there is a problem if they cannot use their watch as a video recorder.

I posted this over on the LEM12 Pro thread as well, but it falls in line with the discussion here, so forgive me for the repeat:
Haha, regarding using the video recorder for the stress test on these watches, I figured it would be a good, solid load for heating the watches to get a decent temperature read after a few minutes for comparisons. Really didnāt think it would crash two of them! Then again, like you said @pablo11, who would actually use a video recorder on a watch? Not me. Iāve only tested them on short clips up until now. So in terms of seeing how far I could push these three Android 10 watches for a comparable level of comparison, the demo succeeded. Plus it got the point across that extended video on a watch is pretty ridiculous.

Thanks Mr T
Itās always a tricky thingā¦
Stress testing is important to an extent and thatās why I said that your tests are important.
But expectations are intense and the younger people who are now taking an interest seem to take things very literallyā¦
So then we have a situation where just because the video recording makes the device overheat - it must be faulty.
The truth is that heavy writes to storage and screen time etc will always make these little semi sealed devices overheat.
So I hope you are not offended @SmartWatch_Ticks
I just donāt want people to lose sight of reality when they think about what they want from these devices.
As you can see, already there is a perception that we should be seriously worried about the results of the videos.
When the truth is that they are perfectly capable of being good watches - as long as we donāt try to make toast with them or make a movie with them.

Good morning. I donāt have this smartwatch yet, but I ordered it. After I saw the Mr Ticks video I thought: who would make a half hour video with a smartwatch? The video is very interesting and intrigued me but in my opinion it must be taken as a kind of experiment. The fact that they overheat is perfectly normal, it would be a problem if they overheated for other reasons, for example a short call or after watching a short video on YouTube. Letās remember that we always talk about smartwatches that have the same functions as a smartphone but in reality they are not. In my opinion this Kospet Prime 2 is a fantastic smartwatch that if used well will give me a lot of satisfaction. I hope it will arrive soonš. Sorry if I wrote too much.

Lol, Iāll bet it isā¦ Just like building houses, fixing sewing machines, servicing motors etc. I will have a look at it (Thank you very much) and see how I go. Though to be perfectly honest, now I have 20 of 21 of the buttons working (in a very presentable working watch face) there isnāt a great deal of motivation for a tired old dog to be learning new tricks. Thanks again though, the thought is appreciated.

they will work just as well on the prime 2 even though theyāre made for smaller screens. actually, if you put a 480x480 watchface on the prime 2 it will only show properly if you use UL, on the stock launcher you will loose the outer part of the face

last night I recorded video 1080p for a minute or so while running with MyRunningApp without an issue. Please dont remove video recording; just add a disclaimer on possible overheating. BTW WiFi dodgy again. Oh well, at least itās a little more usable.

Ok, that is reasonable.
Just out of curiosity - are you getting sound during playback - from your recording?
I have seen a bug where video is fine but no sound during playbackā¦
I hear. But I can test more recordings to check if that bug appears
Thanks, this is good news because it is causing issues for the next update at the moment.
Any feedback is welcome

Absolutely correctā¦
Stock launchers and others use automatic scaling so it should be no problem
