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.

  • Can confirm that this works. Cut the connection to your handy and after a while the error icon vanishes and the watch face appears. 

  • I'm so glad You are still working in this. Thank You so much. Please Release the new Version even though Garmin does Not Support your Work at all. I can't stand the other Layouts and my garmin seems useless now. Just Sent You 10€ via PayPal top Support your Work.

  • Hi, after Yesterday update (Fenix 7x pro) face stop working. Please, Will you look ať IT? Best face ewer. Thanke you fór your zimě.

  • hey, just letting you know that after the most recent system update v2 beta stopped working on 7X solar sapphire, tried reinstalling, but continues to show an error

  • Looks like the developer is not releasing new update. Similar alternative watch faces: Teko, Teko big, tox, fallout. A bit of settings will achieve same results. Hopefully Tomulli will release an update so we can all continue to enjoy his face. Alternatively go for one of the above!

  • After last watch software update clock shield is unavailable. 

  • In all honesty is there any chance that Garmin will put their *** together? Doubtful 

    Also users en masse tend to trust the ota - it doesn't say whether it's beta or not

    As much as I get your feelings, holding users hostage to Garmin's incompetence is tad unfair imo

    If you change your mind and decide to release the update, pls include an option to change the HR monitor to a calendar instead, will be highly appreciated 

    In any case - thanks for you time and efforts, truly the best wf out there

  • I am not attempting to hold users hostage. What i said was that development continues. Thats new features etc. however i will not be releasing them as each second published garmin sdk is causing serious issues and requires rework, which requires troubleshooting and a lot of invested time. Basically trying to prevent exactly whats ongoing now.. I dont have solution for current issue available.

    That said, with this particular one i will perhaps take a look next week as you guys are killing my mailbox.

  • To everyone here,

    I’m honestly surprised by the attitude of many users. Tomulli has provided us with one of the best watch faces on Garmin—for free—while supporting numerous models, which is no small feat. This isn’t his main job, and he’s not earning much beyond donations. Plus, he can’t monitor every Garmin update around the clock.

    If you want to be helpful, stop pressuring him. Instead, report issues constructively by sharing the exact software version you’re using and your watch model. That way, we can all assist him in fixing the problem.

    Thank you, everyone, and thanks, Tomulli, for your hard work!
