WatchFace: Horizontal Time





A simple watch face where hours and minutes are displayed horizontally and then stacked.

Original: https://apps.garmin.com/en-US/apps/15318739-b160-4b77-b51b-dafbd4ccb99d
Light: https://apps.garmin.com/en-US/apps/5890ff13-c4ab-4d48-9374-d248b14e794d
Red: https://apps.garmin.com/en-US/apps/0d27fbc7-f6ac-4592-8074-5802bc31177e

The watch face has these features:
  • 24-hour format only (due to design)
  • Day of the week
  • Date (Month and Day)
  • Battery remaining
  • Number of Steps for the day
  • Phone Connection (Bluetooth logo appears when connected)


Please let me know of issues or feature requests here and I'll do my best to accommodate.
  • Hello all! Sorry for the delay!

    With the release of SDK 1.2 I can now add settings to this Watch Face so I will be refactoring the entire codebase so there's only one version required. My goals for the refactor are:

    • Time freeze bug fix
    • Configure Colors
    • Reduced Memory Usage
    • Custom Font
    • Support for other devices


    In the meantime I'll try to get a bugfix out for the time freezing problem on the older code base.

    Thanks for all the feedback and patience.
  • Slight change of plans.

    I will release a bug fix for the time issue based on pre-1.2.0 SDK just to ensure everyone can use the watch face. I have a new algorithm to calculate the times that's way more efficient and takes advantage of the platform better. I'm going to QA it tomorrow and then get it up to the store.

    After that, I'll start working on the settings feature where you can change the colors however you want.

    Once these tasks are complete then I'll finally work on normalizing the fonts so I have better control over the look and feel. Also, it will make it easier for me to support other devices since many of the Garmin devices have different system fonts and resolutions making it difficult to provide a consistent user experience for everyone.
  • Version 1.3 is up with a brand new algorithm for how I calculate the past/future hours. Please let me know if any of you are seeing the "first 10 minutes" freezing bug or if the performance is sluggish. Thanks!

    A few bugs

    I've noticed that when you from 23:59 into midningt it shows 24:00 and 24:01 and so on. Should'nt it be 00:01....?
    Next little funny bug is, every time it is 7min past, it goes to 00 and stays there for 2min (08-09) and gets back to normal at :10

    I hope i make my self understandable.
    I love this watchface and hope you'll fix it

    Regards.

    Slowing Down Problem

    Great - thank you. Would also love to be able to select the minutes colour - red is VERY difficult to read in low light.

    One more thing, I've noticed that the watch is sluggish now that I'm using this watchface. When I press the up or down button to switch apps it takes often 2-3 seconds or more to switch. This problem was fixed immediately when I changed my watchface to something else.

    Thanks again


    I have the same problem. I LOVE this watchface, especially the WHITE version. But whenever I use it, my f3 is incredibly slow at changing from watch to widgets or from watch to training functions (about 3 seconds). And it is also sluggish changing from widgets/functions back to the watchface. This is not an IQ Watchface issue, as I am wearing other IQ watchfaces without any sluggishness.

    This is my FAVORITE watchface but I am reluctantly using other IQ watchfaces for now, until this problem is fixed.

    I'll revisit the code. Are you on firmware 4.90? Thanks for any details you can provide.

    I've tested on an emulator and my own watch. May I ask if you're running the latest firmware 4.90? If not then please let me know.
  • Very nice watch face, thank you very much!

    Any chance to get the code on GitHub to be able to have a look at it?

    Thank you very much in advance!

    Yes, I will do so after I update the code for the latest SDK.

    Any chance you could make this compatible for the FR630?
