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 - unfortunately no, sorry!

    The Forerunner 265 has a different display resolution, so the existing graphics are not compatible. (And I don't have time to update them).

    I just upgraded from my trusty but dated Vivoactive 4 to the newer Forerunner 965.  The first thing I wanted to install was your M2 watchface.  I was sad to find that it's not compatible, but I'm not here to complain...  quite the opposite.  I totally understand how much work it would be to update the graphics and everything to support higher resolutions.  So really I just wanted to say thanks for having created such a great and flexible watchface that allowed so many of us to create designs that we wanted.

    After finding M2 and getting my design locked in to my liking, I was never tempted to switch to something else over the past 4 years.  I think that's saying something...    So thanks again!  If you create any new watchfaces in the future that support the newer watches, I'll definitely check them out!

    I found it to be the same. Their are other settings for dawn twilight, sunrise, sunset and evening twilight but I still could not get the time correct although the time on the Garmin it self was correct.
