Fuzzy clock for SmartWatch 2
First for the Sony SmartWatch 2: fuzzy clock (fuzzy as in fuzzy logic)! The difference between a fuzzy clock and a textual clock is that while the textual clock just translates the hours and the minutes to text, the fuzzy clock translates time into a more colloquial form. For example, a textual clock would read 15:47 as “Fifteen forty-seven”, while a fuzzy clock for the same time would say: “Quarter to four”.
These watch-faces don’t occupy the full screen of your SmartWatch, giving you the space to place other widgets and clocks on the screen.
Here are the five fuzzy clock watch faces available in the app, and the link to the app itself is at the very bottom.

My new app provides five nice classic watch-faces for your Sony SmartWatch2.
You will find them in the “Edit watch faces” section –> “Clocks” of your SmartWatch2 app. Take a look at the watchfaces:

The Sony SmartWatch 2 has the really cool feature of watchface widgets – meaning you can place any information on the screen, which is visible all the time, and since the screen is not illuminated most of the time, the battery life is preserved quite a bit.
The Speedometer app takes advantage of this SmartWatch 2 novelty and now displays the data in two kind of widgets:
1) The full speedometer widget – which displays the same data as the app itself, and is therefore taking all the space of the screen.
Full speedometer widget, displays all data and takes up the whole screen area.
2) The speed widget – which displays only the current speed data, and therefore takes only a tiny portion of the screen, leaving it up to you to decide how to fill the rest of the screen area.
The minimal widget – displays only the current speed (bottom right corner), leaving it up to you to fill up the rest of the screen with the information you prefer.

At last, the Orthodox Calendar for Sony SmartWatch is available in Greek language.
It contains the full calendar of saints and the icons, as used in the full app version for Android. This goes for SmartWatch 2 devices only.
SmartWatch 1 users would not see any icons, nor full calendar of saints, only the feast / main saint of the day.
The app supports both the old (Julian) and the new (Gregorian) calendar, there is a checkbox in the app settings.

Orthodox Calendar SmartWatch
I’ve completely reworked the Orthodox Calendar for the Sony SmartWatch. Now it takes full advantage of the larger display, and the new features – such as long lists, thus:
* Icons are displayed for the feasts and some of the saints
* Full calendar of saints is included for every day, just scroll down to see the full list of names.
Calibration for the SoundMeter app
The update (v.1.5) of the Sound Meter app brings a bug-fix and an option to calibrate the meter. Check it out!
Fast Dialer app update
After a longer period, the Fast Dialer app has been updated with some new features and minor fixes.
The main new feature is the possibility to directly dial a number, send an SMS or add to contacts the clipboard contents. So you can copy a number from anywhere in your phone, from the Internet etc. and then use it directly in Fast Dialer, just long press on the number entry field, and you’ll be presented the options.
The other small but crucial update is the support for Android 4.4.
Two important updates have been made to the SMS Composer app in it’s latest version 5.8; the first is the addition of new languages with spelling suggestions support. Those are:
- Portuguese
- Greek
- Serbian
- Croatian
- Slovenian
That makes the number of available spelling suggestion languages amount to ten.
The other novelty is the option to turn off the spelling suggestions generally, in the app’s settings. And that is useful in case the app performs slowly on your device. Just turn of the spelling suggestions and you get a huge performance boost.
The new v.5.7 of the SMS Composer app adds spelling suggestions for a few more languages: Russian, French and German.
