Thank you soniasophie9697! - I’ve tried lots of different apps - but not heard of that one - Great - I’ll give it a try.
Regarding your comment about still in square mode - it does look a little like that - and I’ve had a few instances with the watch whereby it has chopped the sides off when on a clock face - however I assumed it was down to me over-tweaking some zoom settings on Eric’s Launcher. So after a delete and new install -it disappeared and was back to normal. I really do think this on screen is a glitch with the outlook app because as soon as I click into this last window it sort of auto zooms and offsets itself (always has) and I’m left with the problem.
I’ll certainly reply with update.
Thanks again…
Update:- Having seen Mobizen - I wasn't really sure that this app could help me - due to it (I believe?) being a screen recorder. - Anyway, good news! - I have since persevered with trying to activate the hidden 'OK' button and --- (wait for it....) I have managed it by sort of tickling the very bottom right hand corner (it could only be a few millimeters) and then after a dozen or so tickles - it activated and my choice of ringtone was enabled.
Anyway -thanks again. - I'm a happy camper!
what? did you manage to access what you needed with Mobizen or it did’nt work?
I never tried Mobizen - I checked the basic version out and didnt see any advantage in the app - (not aware at that point of the second suggestion you made with the mirroring and pc version - that probably would have done the job) but before I saw that - and in the meantime I found solution that solved the problem without any app help. All’s well that ends well!

Just curious why you don’t use Vysor for access to these options?
You can control the watch screen in a much easier way in a large window on your computer…
Hi all,
I have actually already shared the solution in quite some detail above (see UPDATE; regarding lightly using my finger to tickle the very corner of the screen - which luckily activated the ‘ok’ button)
Regarding the use of Vysor - maybe that would be yet another solution to add to the Mobizen suggestion. - I didn’t know about these programs - and that was the reason for my initial post and request for help.

While I’m still waiting to receive my Lem X I’ve been using another round screen full andorid watch - No.1 D5+ - for two years now. The solution which worked for me with buttons hidden close to the edge of the screen was to use standard android three tap zoom. The trick is to zoom the part of the screen closest to the hidden button. It works very well with some of the apps.
The other way requires a bit of learning . I’ve managed to edit interface (reverse engineer with apktool) my favorite Osmand navigation to change position and sizes of some buttons to fit the round screen. This let me to use it without going to square mode. The drawback is that if I want to have an update I have to repeat editing again.

Thanks for the info and usefull tips Joseph, I had also tried the three tap zoom - but for some reason it just didn’t work on that particular screen. I had also tried reduced fonts and display and rotate -which worked for other problematic screens - but not on this screen. I must have tried so many times tapping it - but that brought nothing or another action. But lightly tickling(rubbing) the first few mm of that corner did the trick - even though there was nothing (no button) to see. Congrats on the Lem X purchase - you wont regret it! Cheers!

Yes I remember that three tap zoom didn’t work for example with Playstore - always had to revert to square mode to get menu. Will try rubbing. Anyway I plan to add TWRP recovery, root with Magisk and add Xposed. The level of customization available with Xposed modules is unbelievable.
All this android watches and software are still in the strong development phase. I can’t understand how so advanced products has so small online representation. People talk about Apple watches but that thing does nothing to me. To carry watch and phone in the same time makes no sense. When I go hiking for a couple of days I do take with me spare phone but it’s turned off or in airplane mode. Also Android wear is not enough with its limited application base. Garmin watch doesn’t have a phone. Why?
Cheap (now with LEM X not that much) Chinese smartwatches are poorly assembled but only they can offer full standalone solution. Western civilization stays behind.
I tried Vysor out but when connecting to widows pc got an error message on phone, that said permission was obscured by another app and was unable connect. I did enable USB debugging etc
