Digital for TactixD face: https://apps.garmin.com/en-US/apps/d4fbcc93-5e5e-4030-8278-2bd8463921db
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.

*** IMPORTANT: Always include your email if you are contacting me using Contact Developer form. Without it i cannot contact you back as form will come with [email protected] as a sender address.

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.

    Thank you for this wonderful face like many are saying it is my favorite also, ill be watching out for any changes, i thought i saw someone somewhere recommend downgrading the firmware to 16.22 and that the battery life felt better anyways i would love to do this but I do not know where to find a firmware download can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks ahead of time and have a good one edit: my watch is a Tactix 7 Pro Ballistics if it matter im sure it does but figured there's probably a site with all these on it somewhere

    Best face ever and thanks Tomulli for the efforts. If helps troubleshooting it looks like that when the Bluetooth is off, after a while the watch face come back on the screen. If watch reconnects to the phone via Bluetooth it then disappears again and the IQ logo comes back. Fenix 7 pro solar sapphire.

    Got it, thx. (Ok, let's keep killing his mailbox, it's working Grin)

    Not defending Garmin or anything, but in all honesty it's the first ota update that caused such problems for me. With this said, now updating will be on hold for a while Slight smile

    Maybe that can be a solution - stick to the current fw version and not update until tested for compatibility 

    In any case, hope for an update soon, sick of having to endure stock watch faces

    Thx!

    Good and bad news. Good one, i took a brief look what may be a problem and i will continue next week. Bad one, vie garmin error report tool i am getting error  reported on code line and function. Challenge is, that line has no code, in fact it is empty space in source code between functions. And neither is the one reported :)

    Sounds like Garmin is making it fun for debugging. Hope it all goes smooth. Really like the watch face, and chance with Garmin ecosystem that you will be able to port it to the new Fenix 8 solar? Same display but know they were updating the OS so not sure how they broke everything in the backend there.

    Thank you for checking. Also hopefully it'll work for the Fenix 8!

    I really like this watch face and hope that the sleep status icon and the do not disturb status icon can be added to it.

    I have used this dial since the beginning of my Garmin Forerunner 235. Now I have changed to Fenix7 Pro and I am very happy to see the same dial again. I wish the author all the best.

    Hello,

    I see people are having issues now since the new update. I am having the same issue. Thank you for taking time to look into this. I have been using this face for years. It is the best one on the market. I appreciate your time and help. Thanks, Dom

    I saw someone else mention if they turn off Bluetooth and wifi syncing, after awhile the face will work again. I didn't test this myself but wanted to post here in case it helps you debug.

    You should be good with update to 0.99.85 now. In most cases you may not see location in weather data, that seems to be Garmin idea of improving things and i am not going to troubleshoot that for now.


    GIven over 10000 emails in my mailbox i expect nothing less than BMW 5 or E classe, 2 liter diesel is ok :).
