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 made a few changes to my design, it should be much more easy to adapt it to a smaller watch screen..

    There is a number that popup whenever you get a notification.

  • Can you tell me how to make that ring on the bottom right?

  • Sure, it is a conventional ring (here two different) with two huge circles on top (backgroud color). If you want to look exactly on how it's done, just copy the code on your designer app and then replicate the positions and hights in your design.

  • From top to bottom: training load ring, training load, date, time, dial intensity minutes smart, dial steps, ring with heart rate. When the battery is low, a battery icon will appear on the right side of the screen, next to the date. A notification icon will appear when you have a notification, on the left side on the screen, next to the date.

  • It doesn't seem that either the paused or stopped visibility options are working for me if I stop an activity and choose "resume later" (I'd like to be able to display an icon reminding me that the activity is waiting in the background to be resumed).

    This is on a Fenix 6.
