Watchface: M2

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.

  • I'll keep an eye on the training load numbers!

    Here's another one, different approach:

    Solid ring is hours, tics is minutes

    Weekday, day of month

    training load, calories with flame icon turning deep orange when move alert is on

    Battery status

    Code:

  • Thanks Mark! I took two designs that I liked and changed a few settings to include heart rate and steps. Working on some more faces...

  • How you insert the vertical  line? 

  • Looks nice Slight smile You can make a vertical line by a creating a "Rect" field (for rectangle) - you can change the width and/or height to be any size you want. Or in the "Quick Add" section there is a horizontal line and vertical line option, which can save some time, as they are thin in one direction and long in the other.

  • In using Add Element/ Add Chart...It seems as all that  is there is HR (??)...then it just seems to sit at "editing..." on the display. 

    Just messing around so it's not super important, I just wanted to see what this would add to the watch face.  Any way for you to show what this Element does on the watch face??  Thanks.
