Version: 1.00
- added seconds marker in high power mode
- resolved bug: display error because of rounding (e.g. showing 09h60m instead of 10h00m)
- submitted first version to app store
Hey guys! First post here on the forum, allthough I've been lurking round here quite a lot lately extensively using the search function. Great work all around here. I've been working on a watchface myself and it's working pretty well for me. I thought maybe some of you might find it nice and usable as well.
So I thought I put a trial version on here so you can test it. If something doesn't work out right, feel free to tell me. If you dont like it, feel free to to tell me. If you do like it, tell me as well and I will put a hopefully bugless version on the store.
Because some ppl on the forum had bad experiences with no feedback on trial versions this one will expire on the 31st of july.
Enough talk, let's tell something about the watchface:
MoDiSuMo - standing for ModernDigitsSun&Moon
real pictures:
Monochrome design when in "low power mode" (except battery < 20%)
Colored design and additional info in "high power mode" (when looking at watch)
Features:
- 12/24 hour clock
- weekday and date
- seconds mark on edge of watchface (only high power mode)
- bluetooth indicator
- continuous battery indicator (with percentage in high power mode)
- alarm indicator (not working yet since not yet supported by connect iq sdk)
sun and moon:
- circle representing 24 hours of a day (noon on top, midnight on bottom)
- indicator rotating clockwise representing time
- bright part of circle -> daylight
- dark part of circle -> no daylight
yellow:
- left of circle: sunrise time
- right of circle: sunset time
- top of circle: remaining light time / remaining time to sunset
- blue: left of circle: remaining time to full moon / new moon
- in bottom half of circle: symbol for what moon looks like now
- white: elevation in meters or feet above sea level
- on the right: number of steps and a green movebar filling up to the step goal
A few things about expected accuracy:
For sunrise and sunset calculations I implemented the algorithm here: http://lexikon.astronomie.info/zeitgleichung/
So accuracy will not be perfect but in the range of about +/- 2 min which is totally okay for me.
For moon phase calculations I adapted some of the algorithms from here: http://www.astrotreff-deep-sky.de/ATDS_postst3232_Formel-zum-Berechnen-der-Mondphase.aspx
Accuracy here will be in the range of about +/- 2 hours for example for the time of the full moon. This is really sufficient for me as well since the moon looks exactly the same to my eyes even more than 2 hours before or after exact full moon.
The picture for the moon phase consists of 16 different states. It's not like a moon calendar where the half moon symbol depicts the exact start of the half moon. I tried to programm it in a way that the picture reflects what the moon more or less looks like at the moment. So the half moon picture will show up a little before the moon will actually be half full. So this behaviour is not an error but intended this way.
Of course you could get more accuracy but it would result in much higher battery drain which is a total killer for a watchface in my opinion. Considering battery life it performed pretty well for me. Up until now it didn't seem to use a lot more energy than the standard watchface, but certainly a little. I try to calculate all the stuff periodically or in power mode and not all the time.
If your watchface looks like this when you start it up first...
... you want to long press "UP" and then go to "save position" to aquire a new GPS position. It will then be used to calculate the sun data.

Just grab and copy to your watch:\GARMIN\APPS
Have fun!
