Watch Face: Analog Battery Saver



Simple Analog Watch Face that looks real, reduces battery drain and has high contrast to see better at night.

LEAVE COMMENTS OR SUGGESTIONS HERE. Please include watch type.

-Auto adjusts background/foreground for better readability
-Auto adjust times are configurable
-Supports reduced processing and updating while in normal mode and further savings in sleep mode.
-Sleep mode updates every five minutes. (your sleeping so who cares, save your battery overnight or during the day)
-If Gesture mode is enable, works in normal and sleep modes.
-Provides Month and Day
-Configurable enable/disable Gesture mode for further battery savings
-Configurable custom the minute hand and second hand colors.

I created this watch face due to several reasons:
1.) reduce battery drain, caused by refreshing the same screen over and over
2.) looks like a real watch face.
3.) needed to adjust for daylight and night conditions to improve readability.

NOTE: Requires Garmin Express 4.1.11.0. Tested with GE 4.1.11.0 is OK. GE 4.1.10.0 (or lower) displays the Configuration incorrectly and will ABS Watch face will run with defaults. Also tested with Apple Connect App isssue with the Configuration there too.

  • Nice! Thanks!

    Two requests...

    1- Can the date be configurable to show day-month, rather than month-day?

    2- When the second-hand is shown, can it stay on for 30-60 seconds? While it's theoretically possible to measure someone's pulse in 15 seconds, trauma incidents and other factors usually require sighting the second-hand for a bit longer.
  • Hello,

    Cool watch face, thanks for the time spent on it. I have one question, would it be possible to add a battery gauge somewhere on the display?

    Also, minor thing, but the date is off-centered in date box. (garmin 245).

    Cheers!
