Request for FR645 WatchFace for Fenix 5s/5/5x

Hi,

others and me are interested in haveing this awesome looking watchface from Forerunner 645 Music on our Fenix 5s/5/5x.
Saidly i'm not skilled enough in monkeyC to build it by myself - so, if any dev can create it for the Fenix-Line would be great...

Thank you :)

I would love to have it for my Forerunner 935 as well.

Thanks!

I have one in progress... will be releasing it in a few weeks if I can find the time to finalize it :)

What do you ppl think of this? Looking good enough to release?

For now colors are customizable, as is the main field... I have only seen the main demo picture of the FR645 face so not sure what more to add or make customizable. Thinking about:

- Date field customizable (select othter stat)
- Icons on the line of the battery status customizable (icons or other stats)
- Extra Stat field above date and below icons

Looks great to me. I'm a big fan of battery % showing.

How long before you release this and will it work on VA3?

Sorry about this, forgot!

Let me see if I can put something online this evening... should work for VA3 as well as far as I can tell.

*Edit*

Think it's good/stable enough to upload already so just did that, also so I can't forget it again ;)

Still waiting for it to be approved, but once it is it will be available at the link below. Please give it a try and let me know how/if it works for you!

This is a valiant effort, but needs a bit of work. It lacks the fit and finish of the Garmin version. Font overall, especially noticeable for the numbers (and definitely the seconds) is too chunky. Alignment also looks off (see attached picture). I think the Garmin one also filled more of the screen, especially at the top. With that said, please keep at it! I only had the 645 for a month b/f deciding to take it back and get the 935. Number one thing I miss is the 645 watch face.

Thanks for the feedback!

Fonts are the main issue yeah, I searched for a free font matching the overall FR645 font (as the default system fonts don't match... seconds is just the system font btw). This was also a first release to get some feedback and input (and to not keep ppl waiting too much longer) but I am working on it more to fine tune it so hope to improve it in the very near future...

Have some ideas on how to do that so hoping the next release will be a better match :)

I think it is a pretty good first effort. I'd like to see sunrise/sunset (whichever is next) as the optional data field. but i like it.
