Digital for TactixD v2 Beta: apps.garmin.com/.../15c35159-bae3-4c12-8539-5305ccd1b933

Idea behind this face is that the best face is the one which is set exactly as i want it.

Q&A:

Why there are so many settings available? It is hard to navigate through them:
Sending watchface user defined parameters such as color, font and screen placement through app settings seems to be the only available option at this moment. Amount of settings is a tax for having many objects available. During time i've found out  there are also problems and limitations coming with amount of settings, therefore version 2 is being in development where at least some of the fields configuration will be simplified.

Why are my settings changes not reflected on WatchFace ?
It seems this issue is tied to Garmin CIQ app which is not able handle huge amount of settings properly. When settings are done through Android/iOS Garmin Mobile app all should work as expected.

Will be there Weather details available ?
Yes, weather is in progress and will be included in v2 version. Currently testing various weather providers APIs and fighting with best details visualization on the screen.

Why is my language not supported i see only squares instead of characters ?
During short life time of this face 26 custom fonts have been already requested and implemented. Fonts consume a lot of available resources, therefore characters are limited to the absolute minimum => english characters and numbers only. Languages with 'special' characters such as czech, russian, japanese etc. cannot be supported until more resources will be available to watch faces. Toggle button "Force English Day/Month Name" to force most exposed fields to english has been implemented instead.

Will more features be implemented ?
Yes, i am adding more features based on incoming requests. Priority is usually set by amount of requests.

    Thanks. I tried many different settings and it seems like it finally work itself out after some time.  It might have been related to just getting outside, but I cant be sure on the exact event that caused it to show the right times. It now is correct.

  • Fantastic face, cant wait for the weather enabled face !

  • Hi Tomulli, thanks a lot for great watch face, absolutelly love it! Just got updated my F6X Pro on fw 9.00 over the night and finding the watch face crazy slowly - once press any button, it takes 2-3 seconds before action happens. Also battery drain seemed to be bigger than classic watch faces, but I can live with that:). Thanks

  • Hi Honza, typical battery consumption for version without weather should be 4% a day on Tcx with no other activity (i assume 6x pro is not that much different),however  i have noticed extremely high battery drain especially after sensor background upgrades when device remains stuck in 1sec update mode. Only reboot fixes it on my watch.

    Relative slowness is something i'll keep trying to address during updates, it seems it is partially related to huge amount of settings.

  • i ll check whether it can be added

  • What do you mean by notification ? DoNot Disturb mode or something else ?

  • I would be keen for a 'do not disturb' on/off icon.great face. Also, if there's a wish list a single invert face as in light on black and black on white would be brilliant. 

  • Onemore perfect config. Current weather icon+ temperature+wind direction+wind speed would be brilliant i stead of move bar on top. Have made it by placing custom text Slight smile

    Hey, Just asking, there is  a way to support Fenix 3/3HR? i like your watchface SO much, will be a dream if my watch gets supported! Thanks anyway for this great watchface!

  • Potentially yes, i think F3 does not support many features later watches do and has only 218x218 screen so there may be few issues as i had to cut few (actually a lot) corners and validation checks just to fit within the garmin watchface memory limits. If you re willing to be a beta tester after i will release version with weather included i ll add you to my list :).
