Watchface: Concise

Former Member
Former Member over 10 years ago
I have recently released my first Connect IQ app, a Watch Face called "Concise". You can find it here... https://apps.garmin.com/en-US/apps/a6a328fe-a489-47db-ad35-5f15e75c9cae

Detail about "Concise" Watch Face are as follows...
Concise shows all the information you need regarding Watch Status, Time & Date and your days Steps data on one clearly laid out, simple watch face.
Concise supports both Metric and Imperial units and 12 and 24 hour clocks.
Concise displays the following...
- Vibrate Mode telltale - Informs you if you have enabled Vibrate on your watch.
- Connected via Bluetooth telltale - Informs you in you have a BTLE device connected.
- Sleep Mode telltale - Informs your watch is in Sleep Mode.
- Day of Week, Month and Date.
- Battery status both as a colour battery graphic and as a numeric percentage.
- Time in large, easy to read numbers. 12 hour clock mode additionally displays AM/PM indicators.
- Steps Bar which shows your progress towards todays step goal as a percentage in the form of an orange bar graph. Overlayed on top of the Steps Bar numerically is your current step count and goal for today, your process towards todays step goal as a percentage and the distance you have moved today.
- Move Bar replaces the Steps Bar when you have been inactive for at least 1 hour. The Move Bar replicates the standard move bar from the Activity Tracking screen onto your watch face as well as overlaying numerically your current step count and goal for today.


Concise Watch Face has been developed to meet my needs on a Garmin Vivoactive. Please let me know any bugs or suggestion in this thread.

Thanks!

    Awesome news and looking forward to it. i have a Va as well as my dad ans as i said earlier this is the only watchface we use

    Glad you like the face! Good news is that yes, I am planning a large update that I hope to write over my Christmas break. Will probably include the following...
    * User selectable theme colours
    * User selectable status bar (small font, 3 items as per current vs mid-sized font, 2 items)
    * User selectable seconds display
    * Corrections to rounding of % steps (currently can read 100% when 99.5%)
    * Minutes change from theme colour to green when goal is reached so can see goal status when move bar is active
    This content will partially depend on what the updates to the SDK have enabled (which I have not reviewed as yet).
    Release timing should be early to mid January.

    I am not sure what you mean by "battery icon (vs %only) too" as there is a battery icon behind the percent text.

    Not sure about 920XT as it does not look right on my simulator (and I don't have a watch to test it on) and I don't want to issue something that doesn't work. I'll see what options I have - stay tuned.

    Hello! This is my favorite watch face by far mostly because it is a clean face and includes the move bar constantly.

    Looking forward to your potential Christmas break update

    I am curious if you will integrate a field to show number of notifications pending on the watch (iOS at least) given that the new connectiq sdk supports this. A few of the new watch faces are adding this in as well.

    Many thanks!

    Clearest watch face currently available

    But just missing the alarm icon found on other similar faces. Any chance of the icons being coloured differently e.g blue for bluetooth and orange for alarm set?

    Updated "Concise" Watchface Timing

    Hi all. I previously mentioned that I was planning to update Concise over my Christmas break. Unfortuntaley I was not able to get to it during this time so the release of the updated watchface will be delayed. I would now like to have it done by the end of February. Sorry to those who were waiting on this.

    Correct date for no english language

    Te begin, thank you very much for your watchface, i really like it !

    My watch is configurated in the french language, but the date format is not good.

    In english, date is formatted like this : DayName Month DayNumber

    In french, date shall be formatted like this : DayName Day Number Month

    For exemple: today :
    Actually : "Jeu. Mai 12"
    It should be : "Jeu. 12 Mai".


    Other idea : for the day 01 to 09, could you add the 0 before the number, ie : "Dim. 01 Mai" instead of "Dim. 1 Mai" (I use the idea described just before) (actually "Dim. Mai 1").

    Thank again for your watch !

    v1.10 released today.

    Add support for Forerunner 920XT
    Add Notifications and Alarms Telltales
    Add user ability to select UK (Wed 14 Jun) or US (Wed Jun 14) date format
    Add user ability to select accent colours that affect Minutes and Step Bar Progress indicator
    Add user ability to choose to display process towards todays step goal as a percentage OR calories (KCal) consumed so far today.


    Yes this was promised 18months ago but it is finally here! Unfortunately, other than any bug fixes that you guys may find as a result of this release, this is the last planned release for this watch as I was doing it mostly for myself (and decided to share with everyone) and I have now moved on to a fenix 5 so stay tuned for a watch face for this device at some stage...
