Watchface: M2

markdotai
over 4 years ago

This is the support thread for the M2 watchface:

 has created a Facebook group for designs here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/423319952037948

And this PDF files contains a quick visual index to the designs posted in this thread: >>>    ForumProfiles1.pdf    <<<

To create your own design or modify one, install & use the M2 Designer app on your watch. These are the steps you would go through:

  • Optionally paste a text code into the "Profile Text" setting of M2 Designer & save the settings, or load one of your previously saved designs (either via the settings or the in-app menu).
  • Run the M2 Designer app (found underneath your activities list) and create your design.
  • Once you've finished, open the Garmin settings for M2 Designer.
  • The text code in "Profile Text" will now represent whatever your design looks like, so copy the text code from "Profile Text" - and be careful to select the whole text.
  • Close the settings for M2 Designer.
  • Open the Garmin settings for M2 (watchface) instead.
  • Delete any text that was already in "Profile Text" - this step helps to avoid potential problems
  • Paste the text code into "Profile Text".
  • Save the settings.
  • Now when you view the M2 watchface it will show your changes.

    Seconds on gesture, alarm icon when activated, phone connected

    ”0” for notifications

    And if anyone wants to try these settings, be aware that the battery consumption is about 0.3% per hour. Otherwise, thank you to the developer for the best watch face solution.

    That sounds about what I experience battery wise too with seconds visible - I tend to notice about 7% / day.

    Now I've seen your design I've made a note to add an option to have the main seconds color as "unset" (which I didn't allow so far) - then it wouldn't need to draw any of the seconds in between the 5 second markers. So it would be 80% less seconds drawing Slight smile

    Out of interest, what battery % / hour do the most efficient CIQ watchfaces you've tried use? I can maybe try some more optimizations.

    Here my 2 cents:

    black (starts at sunrise)

    white (starts at sunset)
    01Ys5225111WDPO1011WIWO020Vc11XwWP03X7C11WwVd035C13NC13XDC1951VwU001XwWr021D11WwWw01WwXz03VaC13UC1

    Great work Mark - as always !

    Cool, that is clean and stylish, nice to see your design at last Slight smile (And at exactly 30 seconds!)

    If anyone is wondering, the start & end times for automatic profile loading are not stored in the Profile Text (that is just graphical information), so anyone who wants to try this would need to save 2 profiles with different start & end times to get the switching. It's a nice idea having different styles for day & night Slight smile

    Simple and battery use only 3-4% per day Slight smile
