I wear my fenix 3 twenty-four hours a day, and much of the watch face is often covered by my shirt sleeve.
To help with quickly glancing at the time without pulling my sleeve back, the sleeve-peek feature shows a small digital clock on the right-hand side of the watch face, rotated by 90° to make it fit in the small portion of the watch face that usually isn't covered by the sleeve.
Key features:
- In low-power mode, the watch face shows the current time as text using a large custom font designed to be easily visible.
- In high-power mode (gesture-activated by turning your wrist towards you), the sleeve-peek clock is displayed, along with an analog clock face with second hand superimposed on the text clock.
- The top cap of the watch face shows the date, which alternates between DD MMM (25 Dec) and DDD DD (Fri 25).
- The top cap will also show icons indicating sleep mode, and whether the watch is no longer connected to a phone via bluetooth.
- The top cap will turn orange when battery charge level is <20%, and red when <10%.
- The bottom cap shows current step count on a sliding scale (inspired by the Sliders watch face).
- The sliding step scale will progressively turn green to show when the daily step goal has been achieved.
Designed for and tested on the fenix 3.
Notes:
- The text clock will only show 12-hour time.
- The sleeve-peek clock is designed for wearing the watch on your left wrist. (Right-wrist support coming with Connect IQ 1.2.0)
- The bluetooth icon assumes that the default state is that watch is connected to a phone.
- English language only for the moment (please contact me if you'd like to help test alternate languages).
- Round watch face only for the moment.
