Would anyone care to create a Mickey Mouse watch face for the Fenix 3?

I like the classic better, but either will do.

    Would this not be a copyright issue?
  • Would this not be a copyright issue?


    Yes. in fact a MM watch was one of the things mentioned that would not make it into the app store due to copyright issues. Even things like the Ironman logo have been blocked for the same reason.
  • One other thing i want to say after perusing the repo that was linked in the OP. The watches there looks nice. Really v nice.
    but alas - i think that it would not look so nice on the F3 at all. mainly being that the display on the Garmin devices looks "faded" and "dark" esp indoor.
    Hence, this would seriously put a damper on the look of the watch regardless of whatever nice design there is.
  • MyPebblefaces.com has this one one available:
    http://www.mypebblefaces.com/apps/8943/6434/

    It's a legitimate site. I can't find any mention of copyright issues, perhaps because it's not for profit? If they receive donations, they go to keeping the site up, whatever is left over goes to a charity.

    So, if Garmin IQ watchfaces are free, meaning Garmin doesn't make any money...

    What do you think?
  • Both Apple and Pebble pay the copyright fee for that watchface. Who will pay the fee for a CIQ watchface (I'm sure it's not cheap)

    Apple is licensing the copyright.

    I've seen lots of people who have made watchfaces with copyrighted images (e.g. their favorite sports team logos). You can use the SDK to create whatever you want, but we can't allow copyrighted material on the Garmin ConnectIQ Store. Unfortunately I also doubt we can allow them to be shared here on the forum either.
  • Understandable.

    I've been trying to get the eclipse and the SDK up and running so I can actually create watchfaces.

    When I push the "run" button, the simulator stays blank. I don't get any errors. I'm on windows 7 ultimate x64.
  • Set a run configuration, (project and device)
  • I perform these steps:

    To add one, go to the Run | Run Configurations menu.
    To create a new Connect IQ run configuration, right click on the Connect IQ App option and select “New.”
    Give your configuration a name at the top. You need to set which Connect IQ project you want to run. It should automatically select your current project, but you can use the Project button to select a different one. Click “Apply” and “Close”.

    I pick my device (Fexix 3).

    Then I start the simulator.

    When I hit run, the console is supposed to appear with:

    "Found Transport: tcp

    Connecting...

    Connecting to device...

    Device Version 0.1.0

    Device id 1 name "A garmin device"

    Shell Version 0.1.0

    Connection Finished

    Closing shell and usb"

    Never happens and simulator remains blank.

    You will need to select the run configuration you want to use while running (just clicking the green run button will run the last used run configuration). If you click the little black arrow next to the green start button you can select a specific run configuration.

    You should also be able to right click on your project in the project explorer and select Run As > Connect IQ Application.
