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

    Thanks for adding the configurable fields ( corners ).
    Would it be possible to add Distance as one of the data fields to be displayed there ?

    Thanks again....
