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…

Bottom line and Face-it question on VA-HR

Will HR be a choice to put on bottom line (replacing default steps/goal) and should I do it via Connect or express?

Do you expect to be compatible with Garmin's Face-it? That's a 'cute and interesting' app but I don't want to take a chance that it screws up your app!!

Thanks!

face-it is a whole different thing.

Which watchface are you running on the va-hr? Most, if not all of mine, will show HR on that device. The bottom line (by default) starts with steps/goal, but there are a bunch of other things and every minute they will switch.

With GCM or Garmin Express, using settings, you can pick which of them you want to see. "Simple Heart" and "Simple Activity" show HR all the time, and "Simple Graph will also show the 4hr history graph of your HR.

what is the "P under the battery

I have downloaded "Simple Heart" for the Vivoactive HR ( https://apps.garmin.com/en-US/apps/9116dbde-f9bd-4d14-88e5-3d81484ac0c2#0 ).

I can not figure out what the green "P" is under the battery icon. There is a possibility it means "PM" because I have my time format set to AM/PM, but I would appreciate confirmation. And if that is indeed what it is, I'd like to make a suggestion to either make that configurable, or to reposition it. Because right now, it is very far away from the time and seems more related to the battery then the time.

I have a Vivoactive HR with the Simple Big App
Love the big face! Great options! It is by FAR my favorite of all the watch faces!! I installed it the day I got my VAHR and haven't changed it since.

However, the newest version has some color glitches. The current "blue" is no longer showing like the old beautiful "blue". The old "blue" looked fantastic with the Black Background :) Tried the Dark Blue, but too dark w/ Black background. Seems like Purple and Pink are too close in color.

Will you be updating to fix the color issues?

Thanks for making a great watch face :)

I've been using the same "blues" all the time (blue or dark blue). In the old settings, it was done by way of a "scheme" so it you didn't pick a separate background and time color, but a set of colors at one time. Could it be you're using a different background color that you used in the past, and that makes the blue look different?

Hi,

Thank you for replying :)

After connecting my watch to Garmin Express, it started acting glitchy for a few days which included your Simple Big update. The Blue was more green than blue.. the pink was identical to purple.. the green looked blue. so weird.

I shut down & restarted a bunch of times and the blue is back to normal :) Yay!

For some reason the other watch glitches remain :( But I'm so happy to have the pretty blue back.

Thank you

Over the few weeks, I'll be putting updates to the watchfaces in the store. Nothing new as far as features though.

The latest firmware for the va-hr displays the icon for watchfaces on the watch itself, and I was just including the "default" icon which changed in size over time, and some looked odd, so I'm put a new (common) Icon in for all my watchfaces.
