Too many glowing text elements crashes LG G Watch R

I built a watchface on an LG G watch that had 5 or so text elements with a glow and it mostly worked fine on the square G watch. The same watch face on my G Watch R would often cause the TV snow crash. I could still reboot by holding in the button. After rebuilding the face a few times, I figured out it would work fine after removing all the text effects.

Update, I think it may just be adding a glow to the text ring to add a glow to each hour number.

I think its related to all text effects. On this face i used outline on hour, minunte and the rotating text in the middle ( http://facerepo.com/app/faces/details/mr-z-14b398be7b9 ). In this config, it crashes every few minutes to tv snow. If i remove hour and minute deco, its ok.

I can concur to this.. Happened to me all day yesterday.. Even when it's not crashing, the behavior is not regular.. Sometimes it show the way it is, sometimes it's not, sometimes it overlap with the previous display

Gloss did this for me as well. I'd have to restart the watch and it worked fine. I switched to outline and it worked, but anytime I change something the text effect outline goes away until I restart the watch again.

Should work better in WatchMaker 3.7.0 for text effects. They can also be disabled on watch altogether if needed in settings.

From 3.7.3 glow effects were disabled on shapes and markers which was causing this crash.
