BUGFIXES
► sometimes refreshed before sync completed

► sometimes failed to bring up watch face picker when turning off Bubble Cloud
► sometimes the inactive watch face would be blank

The short video below shows how the Status icons (notification bubbles) look on phones on Android Lollipop or older. The small-icon notifications (shown in my other posts) only came with Android Marshmallow. So the look of the icons depends on the version of Android on your phone!

One of my test devices has Jellybean 4.3. The video was recorded on an emulator connected to that old phone!

(I doubt many smartwatch owners have Android 5.1 / Lollipop, but still)
