Feature Requests for Wear OS 5.1, One UI 6.5 or One UI 7.0 Watch

[MatthewReiter]

Wear OS 5.1 has entered Developer Preview and it is time to make suggestions for One UI 6.5 or One UI 7.0 Watch, here are my suggestions.......

1. Add color palette 

2. Update the app icons to match One UI 7.0 Mobile

3. Enable the ability to add ringtones to Galaxy Watch, as it was a feature for the Tizen Galaxy Watches

4. Add folders for apps so your favorite apps can be found more easily

5. More intuitive camera controller with zoom toggles just like on mobile, it would be easier to zoom in for your favorite scenes

6. New sounds since the current sounds are used in Tizen Watches and it would be good to have a refresh of the sound effects, like making the charging sound like One UI Mobile

Here is what I think.

MENU SYSTEM
On Tizen devices, the menu system uses a cursor to highlight the selected item when the bezel is turned. On Wear OS devices, it scrolls page by page without any cursors.

STOPWATCH
When the stopwatch is stopped and the value is not at zero, replace the Reset/Lap and Start/Stop buttons with Options and Resume, respectively. The Options menu will show the following
• Save: Save all laps to the connected phone.
• Reset: Clear all laps and reset the stopwatch to zero. A reset can't be undone on a watch, but it can be undone on phones and tablets by selecting View Previous Lap Times.

TIMER
• Upcoming Timer: The user can customize the warning period (timer turning red) between 5 seconds and 1 hour (5 seconds by default).
• Warn Before Deleting/Stopping Timer: When the user attempts to stop (delete) a timer, it should show a confirmation like this, "Would you like to stop this timer?" especially when gestures are used to control the timer. Pausing is not the same as stopping a timer.
• Timer Syncing: At this time, timers added on the phone do not sync with the watch, except when the alarm goes off. The lack of name editing on timers could be the culprit.
