Set a clock as default from outside the settings?

Hello,

Is there a way to set the default Clock (Settings > System > Clock) from outside the settings? Typically, from a "Set as default" menu in the clock itself.

My understanding is that I just need to update clock and clockHasWidgets the settings.json file, but is there something else? I noticed that when changing the clock from the settings, the watch shows Updating boot0...

Thank you for your insights

Sure, for example the Clock Switcher app does this.

The Updating boot0... is because bootupdate.js rewrites boot0.js whenever settings.json changed, that happens automatically, no need to do it yourself.
And I think clockHasWidgets is updated automatically by bootloader.js, so you only need to update clock in settings.json.

Great, thanks for the confirmation and for the ready-to-use code :)

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
