The "Simple" Watchfaces

I have a few Simple Wathcfaces in the app store:

"Simple Digital" - time/date steps/goal using a 7-segment display like font:

"Simple Big" - time/date steps/goal with a large skinny font.

"Simple Round" and "Simple Round 2" - analog watchfaces for the new forerunner 23x and 630. Simple Round 2 allows choice of 10+ Color Schemes!

"Simple Binary" - time/date in binary, step goal percent and other status leds!

Initially, they are for the vivoactive (expect Simple Round and Simple Round 2) and the fr23x and fr 630.

These watchfaces support "user settings" to change color schemes and options.

Here's a very good thread about how to use the "User Settings" feature:

I'm using the Simple Big on the forerunner 235, and I have all of the latest updates. When looking in Garmin Connect, my step goal is set at 10,000 steps, but the app is set for auto goal, and is changing…

synch/download time

I'm relatively new to Garmin, having just received the Forerunner 230. My synching of training data works fine - and promptly. Trying to download the "Simple2" watch face, however, is non-ending! How long does it take. I've let it sit for 2 hrs., then pulled the plug. It just won't download. What am I missing? thanx.

How are you downloading?

Once you select anything from the app store, they only delay is waiting for you to sync, and then it maybe takes a minute to send to the watch with bluetooth.

What's displayed on your watch?

Well, I'm actually just using my macbook and a usb - no bluetooth. Again, all my other stats synch, but I can't get the watch face.

thanx much - I got it. I loaded the mobile connect - Bluetooth was instantaneous. I love that face - especially directing all the settings thru the phone. Much easier.

Version 0.12 of SimpleBig in the app store!

The only difference is I'm trying something new and looking for responses from users.

Normally, the "sleep" icon only comes on if the watch has a way to manually enter "sleep mode". With this version of SimpleBig, it will look at your user profile, and also turn it on between your configured "sleep time" and "wake time".

But to do this, SimpleBig needs permission to access that sleep and wake times on your watch.

Version 0.12a of "Simple Big" - "Charging" Icon!

The only change here is that it now indicates when you are charging the watch!

You can do this on the vivoactive by changing the "usb mode" to "garmin", and can do on the fr 23x/630 by just using a charger other than your PC.

Instead of the battery icon, you see an "up arrow" while charging.

Note: there will be a delay of up to a minute in seeing the icon when you start, and will also take a minute or two to change back after you remove the charger, and may stop before 100%, due to a couple things such as your charger thinks it's fully charged.

Simple Round 2 Watch Face

Hi I downloaded the SimpleRound2 and like everything it has except it sometimes has an icon with an exclamation point inside a box to the right of the battery and I can't find anywhere what that means, it's not an icon I have seen on my watch previously so I am unsure what it means.

That icon is for "notifications". It shows you have at least one.
