Custom Layout Editor vs Smart Auto Layouts
Instead of a custom layout I recommend using one of the Smart Auto Layouts, as these place the bubbles more precisely for a much more even look
Feature focus: Find my phone
Tap the phone bubble (battery level + find my phone)
Choose which bubbles are shown in ambient mode
The setting “Ambient mode” controls whether bubbles show in Always-ON Display or not
Notification icons plugin: block all notifications except a few whitelisted apps
When we whitelist by phrase, it also matches the phrase against the name of the app
Tutorial: use wallpaper from icon pack on the watch
1. Download wallpaper to your device 2. Set custom image background in Bubble Cloud’s expert mode
Wear Stand Up Alert
This is a small utility, the main idea is that it will buzz your wrist if you sit too long, and you can quickly glance on the watch to see how long you have been sitting and whether you should take a break or not yet.

You can assign the timer to a hardware button push, then disable the app drawer. The button will string bring up the timer!
