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.

    Hi folks,

    I thought I'd share a simple face inspired by what I had in M1+. I really enjoy the sleek nature of the design and really appreciate the work Mark has put into it. Editing in the designer on a touch based Vivoactive 3, however, is nothing short of a nightmare.

    Here it is:

    Enjoy!

    The notification indicator changes colors when notifications are present. The red phone is only visible when disconnected. The battery changes to the empty battery when the battery is low.

    I have a couple of questions because I'm being a bit dumb. 

    How do you get the solid colour semi circles at the top and bottom of the faces

    And how do you make a ring work as a counter, for example, battery with notches on the side and a moving arrow indicator. I hope I've explained this clearly enough. 

    Will also post on the Facebook page.

    I haven't checked their actual designs but I think this is the way to create them:

    >>>>> How do you get the solid colour semi circles at the top and bottom of the faces

    First create a dial and set the style of it to "rectangle", and set the data to "plain color".

    Then you can change the width to be really wide (use the +10 increase option) and height to be how big you want it to be. Then move it to the top of the display.

    So it's really just a huge rectangle at the top or bottom of the display.

    Also make sure to move it earlier than other items you want to draw on top of it.

    >>>>> And how do you make a ring work as a counter, for example, battery with notches on the side and a moving arrow indicator.

    I think they will be using multiple rings - again you can draw one with "plain color". Or use multiple rings for multiple colors, and change the start and end of the arcs so they cover different sections of your "counter".

    Then on top of that you would need to draw another ring with the data you want to display, but set the filled and unfilled colors to be "unset" (which means they don't get drawn). Set the "value" color to be whatever color you want - this will only draw one of the ring segments in that color, to indicate where the current value is.

    You can maybe do something similar using the dials if you want a smaller circle - by using the "hand" style to draw a marker for the current value on top of another circle underneath.

    @markdotai thank you I think I've figured it out now

    hi Mark, is it possible to insert an indicator (up / down arrow) for the increase or decrease of atmospheric pressure?
