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.

  • Are you copying the blue text from this image?

    Are you doing it for both "Profile 1st Half" and "Profile 2nd Half"?

    After selecting the text do you right click and select "copy" to copy it?

    Try pasting the 1st and 2nd half into a new document - and make sure to keep them separate from any other text by at least one blank line (and from each other).

    Count the number of characters on each line - it will be less than 255.

    Those are the only suggestions I can think of Slight smile

  • As far as I know that's what I'm copying. It's coming out as 255 for the 1st profile. I think I'll have to make a new face and see if it works that time

  • 255 length is fine

    Just make sure to copy the entry for 2nd half of the profile text as well

    Then paste them both here (separated by a blank line) - so we can check them Slight smile

    The last text you posted was a single line and more than 255 characters (so it was an impossible one)

    If you are pasting them to your M2 watchface settings, then you need to enter the 1st half in the top setting, and the 2nd half in the second setting. (The Garmin settings have a limit which prevents entering lines which are too long so it has to remain split in two).

    If the 1st half is less than 255, and the 2nd half is blank - then you need to make sure in the M2 Garmin settings that the 2nd setting is also blank. Both the first half and 2nd half must exactly match.

  • This is what it gave me this morning although I can't check it because the iq connect store isn't working again

    First is 255 exactly 

  • Cool, that loads for me Slight smile

  • I still can't get on to the iq settings page. I'll have to try garmin express when I get in. I looks like I need to tinker with a few bits as well. Thanks for trying it

  • I cannot get to the iq connect either...

  • Ho inserito l'indicatore del carico di lavoro
