WatchFace: Essential

Former Member over 9 years ago

Essential Version: 1.41
New updates require Connect IQ 1.2.1 support, please make sure your watch has the latest firmware downloaded before installing

Update 1.40
-Added ability to change background color

Essential eliminates screen clutter and displays only the essential data in a clean simple layout. With steps, calories and battery status displayed along with icons for phone connectivity, vibrations, alarms and notifications. Displays time while in high power mode. By default all secondary items change color with battery life.

Configurability using Garmin Express or Garmin Connect Mobile-
-Change the color of the time
-Change the color of all secondary items; default setting is to have them continue to change with battery life as they have in the past
-Turn on or off any icon, don’t want to see the move bar or care if vibrations are turned on just turn them off

Two requests

Hi,
two requests:
1. Is it possible to add seconds ?
2. Can the battery percentage font be increased to match the size of the other data fields in the other corner ?

Thanks for a nice and simple watch face !

I'll look into increasing the size of the battery font, I haven't added seconds as there is no way to keep them on the screen all the time, I might look into adding it as an option though for those that do want them to activate on gesture

Seconds - minor issue ?

Thanks for the quick implementation of the battery indicator font size, and the support for seconds.
I would like report a minor issue with the way seconds are implemented:
In 24 hour format, when hours are "PM" / two digits ( e.g. 12:00, 13:00, 14:00.... 20:00, 21:00 etc..) the seconds displayed are somewhat overlapping the last digits of the minutes display.
The problem does not exist whenever the hours are a single digit.
Looks like a slight shift to the right of the seconds - will solve this.

Thanks for your support !

Flickering and crash

Hi,
After sync and update today, I observe a strange behavior:
When I raise my hand up ( and expecting the seconds to be displayed ) the whole panel is flickering, seconds are not displayed.
doing it twice or three times in a raw - is causing a crash.
this is on Vivoactive.

Thanks for your support.

Sorry about that, should have caught it. It is fixed now though.
