Watch faces implementing the Weather API cannot be converted.
The Galaxy Store In-app-purchase (IAP) feature is removed during conversion, as it is not compatible with Galaxy Watch for Wear OS Powered by Samsung.
The converted watch face supports the following Samsung Health data only: Steps and Heartrate.
In Galaxy Watch for Wear OS Powered by Samsung, a special consent is required for a downloaded watch face to receive heart rate updates.
To get the heart rate information updated properly, sellers can guide the customers to the following.

Note :

The watch face is only updated with heart rate measure after the consent is given.

If the Galaxy Watch Studio Converter does not support converting your watch face or its features, you can import your Galaxy Watch Studio files to Watch Face Studio and continue developing it for Wear OS Powered by Samsung directly.
