[#PEBBLE] Diferences between a watchFace app and a standard app

Hi!

Another quick Pebble post. In today post I’ll try to explain the different betweem the 2 types of pebble apps: watchface apps and standard apps.

Standard apps are like windows dektop apps. that’s mean you’ll get the status bar displayed along with the app and also the time in the top of the app. These apps can interact with the watch buttons and also can suscribe to system events like ticks or motion sensor.

Watch face apps, are displayed in full screen mode and they can only be updated once by second or by minute. You can not also launch a watchFace app; they are active in the main screen of the watch and they can’t interact with the watch buttons.

The next video display a sample view of these 2 types of apps, first with some navigation between the watchFace carrousel apps and later at 00:10, the launch of a standard app to display a sample of motion sensor.
