Watchface: CountDown 2 Event

This is a watchface showing a countdown timer towards a specific event in the future.
Together with the countdown, it displays the time, date and battery strength in %.
Support for 12/24 hour with am/pm indicator for 12 hour format.

When the event starts, it removes the timer and displays a message that the event has started.
As soon as the event finishes, it display a proper message telling you that the event is over.

Currently the start and end dates of an event is hard coded for each app.
After an event has finished, the app will be updated in the app store to display the countdown for the next annual event.
Users will then have to update the app from the store.

Currently the following marathons are supported:

Comrades Marathon 2015
Berlin Marathon 2015
Chicago Marathon 2015
Frankfurt Marathon 2015
New York Marathon 2015
Tokyo Marathon 2016

Hi Douglas,

Thanks for the kind words!

I have decided to hold onto my source for a bit longer to see what happens in Sept when we expect a new SDK with user configurability.

Thanks for creating this watch face, HERMOT. I'll be running Chicago in October and it will be a cool reference point every now and then.

Thinking of throwing in a race logo as an extra for fenix3 and d2bravo.
Unfortunately there isn't enough real estate on the square watches to display the logo :(

Let me know what you think!

Hi, I am sorry I have decided to not create any new watch faces.
I am waiting for improvements to the SDK from Garmin and hope to make a generic count down watch face where users can configure their own date and event name.

Please keep in touch and follow me on Twitter for any future updates: @hermoter

As said to other users earlier, it unfortunately takes a lot of time, and I will only be able to fulfill private requests based on PayPal donations.

Regards, H
