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.

  • Hmm, i am not able to replicate this. All remains stable here and errors i have received since 0.90.10 release are only form F5 and F5x. Do you have some other non default features enabled, such as custom text etc. ?

    Reason i am asking is that fix i have implemented for resetting issue takes a lot of memory and there is a slight chance to run out of memory in some combinations.

    Hi, could you please explain this to me, sorry I couldn't follow if you meant the settings don't change if you use the connect iq app on computer? I have tried to change mine on the phone connect app to no avail, is there another garmin app I should be using? 

    Regards and great work on the watch face

  • *Really* cool face, and I’ve had a blast configuring it. Except (as I believe has been reported) it randomly goes back to default settings. I’ve found no steps to reproduce other than this one:

    1. configure the face via the Connect app
    2. sync the watch
    3. switch faces using the watch UI
    4. return to Digital for TactixD
    5. the face will be back to default

    other than that, the resets seem random. I’ve been trying to get the configuration I want for hours, only to have it completely reset to defaults in the middle of tweaking. I love it so much, but aaaasargh!!

    appreciate your contribution. It’s the best face out there

  • Again. I had tried many kinds of setting which all include showing weather. And them use other widget or change other watch face and return this one, the situation of resetting always happens.

  • Dear Tomulli.

    FINALLY NO BUGS during last 24 hours.

    Last beta has no issues. Ist issue of android.

    Thats a secret:

    I have installed watch face with garmin express windows pc app. Then configured watchface on windows pc. No more settings reset, no crashes, no bugs! 

    I report ), the app is near to perfect!

    Friends, dont use mobile app to configure settings! Make it on PC only!!

  • I am having the same issue. My sunset is showing 14:27 which should display 20:30 and sunrise as 23:13 which should be 06:30. I cant find a fix within the settings. 

  • Did you try to get the GPS connected , or have you changed your default LAT/LONG to your current location ?

  • Sorry. I had tried your method by Garmin express to set. It doesn't work for me. It still happens resetting.
