Good job Samsung , you have gained a new enemy for ruining the watches....i absolutely hate everything about the new UI 8 update , it made the Facer Watchfaces completely unusable and the whole entire look of the interface sucks it's like a child designed it , my Watch 5 looks TERRIBLE now i don't like the new update at all.
EDIT: i have found a fix for the Facer Watchface app on the watches, i had to clear the cache data in both the phone app and on my watch then uninstall it from my watch and reinstall it and let it do a small update and that solved the issue now im able to use Facer again on my watch. Although i hate the look of the One UI 8 update i guess i can handle it since i have Facer back again because i can at least use a watchface that looks good unlike the hideous interface that is now on it from UI 8.

Oh I see so simply remove the entire Facer app and put it back on. Interesting. Well right now my favorite face it working but not through Facer it seems but added Individually. Will leave it alone for now.

On my Galaxy Watch 4, One UI 8 broke custom Watchmaker watch faces. I already converted the watch face to the new required format, but the gyro effect still does not work. On top of that, custom fonts with borders are broken, and certain update mechanisms that previously worked only at full brightness no longer function as expected.

Before this update, everything worked fine and battery life was still excellent, especially considering the watch is nearly 4 years old. This update feels completely unnecessary and only introduced regressions instead of improvements. Stop doing that Samsung.

It is frustrating to see long-standing, working setups degraded with no real benefit for the user.

You need to contact the developer of your watchmaker app to make sure that their app and the faces produced by it are compatible with the update.  Compatibility is *always* the onus of the developer.
