Watchfaces: GF3... (all)

Finally! I am so grateful for that someone put some effort to boost the 24 hr watch face. Thank you.
I was planning to design a watch face myself based on the Yeswatch Kundalini. Please check out http://www.yeswatch.com. Would it even be possible to emulate this?
It is primarily the single hand, the 24 hr face and the sunset/sunrise that should be of importance.

Hi mrtin2,

yes, I think it's possible to make such a watch face. It is a nice addition to my 24h watch faces collection. May be, in the near future ;)
Thank you for your kind reply.

Thanks for this i have a originele uno button that isn't waterresistend (3atm)
So i like this.
But can you make it cleaner? More like http://www.botta-design.de/en/uno-24-neo.html
Or like http://www.meistersinger.net/
Thanks you verre mutch

Hello KLEIJN.W,

I'm not really sure what you mean by 'cleaner'? I tried to make it look like as much as possible to the original. But i'm limited by the specs of the Fenix3. The display is 218 x 218 pixels with 16 colors, so it will always be a digital replica of the original watch with all the pros & cons with that.
Well, on the bright site, you're still an owner of the original Botta Uno watch, which in my opinion is a great looking watch :)

Thanx, Arjo

Hello Arjo,
I got another idea to show minutes on your “UNO” watchface-family while overcoming the shortcomings of the sub-optimal gesture recognition.
It would be possible to take advantage of the outer display of the Fenix3 which has already a 60min scale.
Just a very little colored dot or a small colored line at the very outer face of your watchface could indicate the position of the minutes on this scale.
In case you are thinking about implementing this idea I would be happy to be a “Beta”-tester :-)

Best Regards
Christoph

Hello,

I like the design very much. They have been advertizing on my Facebook pages, and I got very interested but I won't wear a watch with only time, so as watchface on the Fenix 3 is optimal :-)

But I tried the watchface since yesterday and I need time to 'convert'. I can't see what time it is with a fast glimpse at the watch, and it disturbs me that I can't determine the minutes. The low/high power switching between date and minutes is not reliable...

Would it be possible to create a version for us who would like to use the 24h format, but are not ready ?
I was thinking you could add the hours:minutes in the bottom, like the Fenix Watch Face G2, and the move the date to 3 o'clock, date only.
I am thinking that over time, when reading the digital and noticing the analogue hand simultaneously I will build a feeling of time of day, as I have with the 12 hour analogue watches...

An other feature I would like, is to see if 'move' is needed. Reason is I have got used to the step counter/move function of the F3, and I try to move when I am requested to, but now and then I am too busy. Then later I look at the watch to see if I need to move (if I forgot), and I like the watch faces which shows this without need to change page to the step counter. Perhaps you could implement it with a colour change, e.g. the light or dark half changing to light red when move needed, or some footsteps displayed at 9 o'clock or ....

Hello MachtGeirich,

thanx for your comment on the GF3Uno watchfaces (Luce, Scuro & Nero)

But I have to clarify something about the design of these watchfaces. They are designed to show to time with an approximate accuracy of about 5 minutes. That's the whole idea of the Uno 24 hour watchface. The time is "almost 3 o' clock". Or "a few minutes before 6:30".
Adding a minute hand (or number) is actually a infringement of the original design. So, to be a little blunt, no i'm not going to change this design. I'm not to happy about the minute/date toggle myself, and thinking how i can change this without cluttering up the design. I've build a beta like berglauf1234 suggested, but still I think it is not THE solution.

To get back to your suggestions, maybe in the near future I might design the suggested watchface. Right now i'm working on 2 different designs, which i like to finish asap. So I'm a little busy at the moment.

So check in regularly. There are a lot of developers building great watchfaces...

Best regards,
Arjo

You have do a great Job.
I think ik you make a 12 hour it is cleaner
And a sun And a moon for Day en night

The one hand 24 hr watch face is more of a philosophy: slow time, slow down yourself and stop to be a slave to minutes. So I fully understand Arjo, when he do not want to change the design. Keep it as is. As I asked earlier, an emulation of the Yeswatch would also be nice to consider. Still very grateful for your work, Arjo!
