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.

  • Yes. That is the move earlier option to move it to a lower layer.

  • Hi. Please help me to load the saved prifiles. I designed my own, moved them to M2 and when I load them, in several minutes it goes back to a previous profile no matter what I do. What should I do with that?

  • Hi,

    Check the profile settings, if you change these to 1234567 it should work

  • Good morning,

    I have 2 questions for the visibility option:

    - Is there an option "visible if wi-fi is connected"?

    - Is there an option "visible if heart rate monitor is detecting any values" (wearing the watch actually, and not while it is lying on the desk)

    Thanks & br

  • Here is my last WF's version:

    When their is a notification, the field for altitude changes. Heart changes color depending on the zone. As per last time, I am not sure it's good to go for smaller watches.

  • There's a few useful things to know if you're using multiple profiles:

    When you select to load a profile it will be active for 2-3 minutes, and then it will go back to the normal routine of searching for profiles to automatically load (if they have activation days & times set).

    So if NONE of your profiles have activation days set (they are all 0) - then I think it will remain on whichever profile you told it to load manually.

    If one (or more) or your profiles have activation days set, and the day matches your current day of the week, and your current time is within the profile start & end time, then that profile will get loaded automatically.

    If multiple profiles match the current day & time, then the lowest numbered matching profile is loaded.

    So I *think* it will work if none of your profiles have days set. Or you could load a profile, and then save it to profile 1 with all days set 1234567 like Bram suggested to guarantee it will load. But I haven't tried the "no days" thing for a while - so if that doesn't work let me know, and I can check it Slight smile
