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.

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.

    I recharged it and it works on my watch. What model of watch do you have?

    So cool to see all the new designs from everyone!

    Especially how you are making even the simple hands look nice Slight smile

    I tried the version 2 of those profile strings in the simulator and, and it works partially up to this point:

    But then no further. I tried just deleting letters off the end one by one until it worked ...

    Can you post an image of the contents of the folder which is up one from the bat files? (It should be called the Bin folder)

    >>>> Would it be possible to have a larger font size for the data (like hours / minutes)? For old people like me who don't see the small text ;)

    Can you list exactly which data items you want in the larger font, then I can add them individually Slight smile (They can only include number digits - not even decimal points as the large font does not include those Disappointed)

    Unfortunately I made the large font items and normal font items a totally separate format, which I can't change now until I make a newer watchface (e.g. M3), and then I can improve things!

    This work fine for me

    >>>> 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).

    Ahh that's a shame - I'm guessing "resume later" temporarily ends the activity (until you do resume it).

    I can't see any way in the CIQ API that it's possible to tell if an activity is in that state unfortunately Disappointed I'll investigate a bit further and see if I can find anything.

    Currently these are the only values I see access to (and they correspond to the 4 values I allow you to choose):

    Name Value Since Description
    TIMER_STATE_OFF 0

    2.1.0

    The timer is off. There is not an active recording
    TIMER_STATE_STOPPED 1

    2.1.0

    The timer is stopped. The recording is active, with the timer stopped.
    TIMER_STATE_PAUSED 2

    2.1.0

    The timer is paused. The recording is active with the timer paused. This state occurs when the timer is active, but has been stopped with the Auto-Pause feature.
    TIMER_STATE_ON 3

    2.1.0

    The timer is on. The recording is active and the timer is running.

    Distance, steps, date, etc.

    I have a bit of presbyopia or short arms Slight smile

    Thx

    The stopped & paused visibility options work perfectly on my Fenix 5+, I use them all the time on my watch face.
