    I like the USA Watch Face a lot. I do find it hard to see the hands as they seem to blend into the stripes on the Vivoactive. I wonder if a copper or gold color might stick out a little better. Thanks again, this will be one of my favorites.
  • Thank you for your review. I am using it right now as well and I agree, hands are not very clear.
    Unfortunatelly these watches has only 16 colors and we do not have many options. I made 3 different versions with yellow, red color and gray colors. Please have a look to screenshots below

    The Fenix 3 and FR920 are limited to the 16 color constants defined in the Graphics module, but VivoActive and Epix both have 64 colors available. You can specify any 0xRRGGBB value for a color in ConnectIQ and it will be mapped to the nearest available color on the device. The values available on VivoActive and Epix are any color where the RR/GG/BB values are equal to 00/55/AA/FF.

    Sharkbait posted a link to a google doc with these colors here:

    Thank you for your answer. It is very helpful.
    Can you help me, how can I specify color as number (like 0xFF77FF)? because as I understand I can use only constants like Gfx.COLOR_RED and etc.

    As you can see in the documentation, the constant Gfx.COLOR_RED is just a symbol attached to the value 0xFF0000. To use a color that doesn't have a name assigned, just replace Gfx.COLOR_X with 0xRRGGBB in your code.
  • Fenix 3 USA Digital Theme

    Thanks for making the digital USA theme for the Fenix 3. I love the theme, but find it hard to read unless I am in direct sunlight, or my backlighting is on.

    If you ever found the time do you think you could play with a theme that uses a white background instead of a black? I know you would more than likely need to outline the numbers so you could try outlining in Red like a normal flag, or gold like "the Colors". Just a thought.

    I appreciate your time and thank you for making these themes so far!
  • Outlined numbers

    Thank you for your question. Could you please explain, what do you mean as outline the numbers here? If I just make background white, when white stripes inside the numbers will merge with background. and what watch do you have? Fenix3 or something else?

    Marine Analog 1.0.2

    Best watch face yet for my Fenix 3. Very crisp and FORTIS looking. It also loads up very fast as an IQ. As a wide body ultra long range pilot, any chance for a UTC 12 hour hand addition or even just a digital 24 hour UTC indication?

    Cheers.......Claudius

    Allowing 12/24 hr display is less than 10 lines of code, but I'm thinking the author is always 24hr!
