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.

  • I finally have it configured using the PC only and it wirks fine, no crashing or default values resets.

    Cannot adjust the face quickly as with the mobile phine but at least its working great.

    More tweakings to do to have it perfect to my taste, but great ability to config the way I want it.

  • Tomulli,

    Then better stay on current  2 icons type. Dont add anything more. Just good is Large and Small. This configuration is stabile. I have configured all symmetrically, and it looks and works super. I think, we all dont want this watcface starts to reset or get slower because of additional setting load Slight smile

  • Dear Pegase747, 

    I am glad, that my method helped!!!!

  • Dear RONIN_1 and others interested,

    As i promised, here i share the video link of my configs.

    NOTES:

    1. PLEASE DONT USE MY WEATHER API KEY. GENERATE PLEASE YOURS AS PER TOMMULI'S INSTRUCTION.

    2. DOWNLOAD AND CONFIGURE YOUR WATCHFACE ONLY USING WINDOWS PC AND GARMIN EXPRESS PC APP, CONNECTING WATCH WITH A CABLE. ITS THE ONLY WAY TO AVOID ISSUES AND RESETS, WHICH ARE THE PROBLEM OF MOBILE APPS,  NOT WATCHFACE. THIS WATCHFACE WORKS PERFECTLY WITHOUT ANY ISSUES.

  • Is there a way to change the barometric pressure to the inches of mercury unit? 

  • Not at this moment, i can make it automatic e.g. when watch uses statue units. Will that be ok?

  • Yes that would be great. I like having the barometric pressure and can somewhat relate the hPa but I live in the US and have always gone by inHg. Thank you!

  • I've tried a few times via the computer to change the settings. It'll work once then has troubles after that and reverts to default.

  • Disappointed

    Maybe it depends on watch modell and garmin express software build. OR Maybe it depends on Region? Because some users reort crash on PC, some on Mobile app. It is question to developer. 

    Personally me:

    Region: Latvia

    Watch: Tactix Delta

    9.00 software

    With PC all is perfect. With Mobile app crasches.

    Its a big question- why so...

  • Hi all,

    I am sorry that I have crashed both with the Garmin Connect app on my Android phone, and also while setting the watch with the PC via Garmin express. Now whatever I do, after I save the changes, the watch face is changed to my new setting, then as soon as I go to widget and back,it resets to the defaults settings.

    very frustrating and I hope the devellopper will be able to find what is the issue, as other wise this face is fantastic.

    At the moment very frustrated that it still happening to me.

    Regards Pierre
