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.

  • Hi Slight smile

    I don't think I can even add any more fonts now, as I'm worried about breaking things with the lack of spare memory Disappointed

    When you say medium size is that for the main number digits (using the Time Big)? Or is it for something like the day name with letters & digits? In the Time (Big) fonts there is a half size font - are you looking for a 3/4 size too? The 1/2 size big font only supports a few values - so I'm wondering if that size would work, but it's for a value I haven't added yet?

  • Any chance that you share the code :)

  • Hi sorry, forgot to upload it. Here is the last version code hope you like it too.

  • Inspired by the FR745 default watch face:

    The ring shows day/night and a 24h indicator.

    The progress bar shows training load, with an indicator at 100%. Just below you can read the training load value and the weekly intensity minutes. I'm using the lowercase "m" to indicate minutes from the ft/m value, so if you use imperial units you will see "ft" here -another reason to use the metric system ;) . 

    And at the bottom, the status indicators (including battery life).

    PD. A small feature request: it would be nice to have an "accent colour" in the global settings. 

  • Made a few changes, same functionalities as last one:

  • Hi, I'd love to try your app. Any plans to add compatibility for the Venu 2S?

  • Hi, unfortunately not Disappointed The display resolutions for the Venu series are different from the ones currently supported, and I don't have time currently to add new sizes - just too busy with work until the end of this year Disappointed

  • Hi,
    I still can't get the simulator to work. see screenshot for details.

    Do you have any idea what causes the problem?

  • Hi. What is the difference between "second (1Hz cheap)" and "second (1Hz true)"? Thanks
