Watchface: M2

markdotai
over 5 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.

A guide for accessing the Garmin settings is here: https://forums.garmin.com/developer/connect-iq/w/wiki/14/changing-your-app-settings-in-garmin-express-gcm-ciq-mobile-store.

    Custom names could be possible - but I need to work out a system for entering them, and how to store in the profile Slight smile

    Maybe entering each letter one by one from an "alphabet wheel" (a, b, c … z, A, B, … Z, 0, 1, 2, 9, a, b, c...) But then diacritics wouldn't be possible, like the "é" in Fenix - but it would still be useful.

    And yep I can add values for first & last light - I think this is the same as dawn and dusk? www.timeanddate.com/.../different-types-twilight.html

    I will add these to my "to do" list Slight smile

    Hi Mark, how can I set offset in minutes? For example, UTC+5:30 for India ..... Appreciate your advice ! Cheers

    Oh it seems I have missed out a few time zones! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_UTC_time_offsets

    Thanks for bringing this to my attention Slight smile

    I'll add this in tomorrow - will need to be an option in the global settings, plus a "2nd time minutes" option for display in the elements.

    Hi. The watchface is very good. I am not able to put it on. My screen goes black when you put your code. Could you check and specify where the code separation is? Thank you.

  • over 5 years ago in reply to Former Member

    For 's code it is in 2 parts.

    • The first half is all of the top section (255 characters long)
    • The 2nd half is just "d0000" (5 characters long)

    If a code is in 2 parts, the first will always be 255 characters long. I only had to add the splitting because there is a Garmin limit of 255 characters for strings in the settings. (So the longest possible is 2x255 = 510!)

    (In fact it may work if you split the code anywhere, but I haven't tested that …)

    My present version. Moon icon is visible when DND is on, the data of the left arc is the floors percentage, the data for the right arc is the steps percentage. The arcs are the first fields in the list (drawn first, thus in background). Sun rise/set hours fields are always on (I chose therefore the sun icon instead of the classical rise/set icons). The blue rectangle on the left is the seconds icon. As you can see according to the date format, it is a French speaking F5 ;-)

    Here is the profile text:
