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.

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

    Yes ... but only when there is more memory! (Sorry Disappointed) It's a good suggestion, so I'll make sure it's on my "wish list" for the future. One day it will be possible Slight smile

  • Hi - the temperature field shows the temperature as measured by the watch, and unfortunately I just checked the specs for the Forerunner 245, and it looks like it doesn't have the temperature hardware Disappointed

    There may be a version with the "weather temperature" at some point (which might be what you are after?) ... 

  • Hi Mark, can I make a request please?

    it's not functionality; it's the settings screens within the connect app - so it might be outside your control.

    Basically,  it's hard to know which profile numbers are empty / available to use.

    I've got a watchface in number 1 - when I select and load profile #1, it calls that code up.  All good perfect.

    I haven't got a watch face saved to number 3....but  when I load that profile, the code line doesn't show as empty.... it shows the code for the last valid stored profile I looked up.

    this seems be the case with the designer app as well as the watchfaces themselves.

    or maybe this is just a glitch on my phone and tablet.

    Might is be possible to tweak things so an empty profile shows an empty code line please?

    thanks

  • hi mark, any chance for new fonts like casio/digital style?

    thanks!

    you work is fantastic!

  • Is there something missing on my designer? I can't find how to make circles. I can make rings but they're all a set size and position where I've seen some watch faces with circles all over the place 

  • - yep if you create a "Dial", then you can change the Style of that between Rectangle, Circle (filled centre), Arc (hollow centre) or Hand.

    Then try changing the Height to change the size of the circle/arc/hand, and also Width (works for the arc & hand) - to see what they do Slight smile

  • OK thank you, I'll investigate tonight 

  • I can't find dial anywhere, it's not on the M2 menus v12 spreadsheet either

  • @Jack681 - ah "Dial" is the newer name for "Rect" (I renamed it when I added the extra styles)

    So if you still see "Rect" in M2 Designer then you will need to update it to get the latest version.

    (And I thought I updated the V12 menu spreadsheet to V13 - but must have forgot Slight smile I'll do it now!)
