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.

  • Unfortunately 965 is amoled watch. While i work on amoled face for quite some time already i am still not happy with results and performance. Thought Tactix 8 will convince me to buy amoled version and having them in hand i ll be able to dig deep to get maximum out of them. … but i am affraid, after recent announcement, i see no point in T8. All but one contacts around are still using MIP.

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

    Please, please add support for amoled devices, I had this on my fenix 6 and love the WF, i just upgraded to fenix 8 51mm amoled and gutted it is not supported yet.

  • Hi Tomas, Your watch face is only reason I'm staying with my 6X. Looking into fenix 8 amoled, but will not buy it due to Garmin fenix + Digital for TactixD only workable duo for me. Thanks again for this great face.

  • Are there any chance you make them public?

  • This watch face looks awesome, im not tech savie and tried to replicate your watch face but got overwelmed with all the settings, could you send the settings or post then somewhere for the above watch face please.

  • Cant install on my 7x pro v20.16 as it’s telling me i need to update the watch?

  • Hello. I live in Korea.

    I saw this watch face and decided to purchase the Tactix 8.

    However, it seems that the Tactix 8 AMOLED does not support installation.

    Could you update it to make it compatible? please

  • Ladies and gentlemen, i am being hammered to develop AMOLED version of the face. The thing is, during current development i have learned just allowing current face to run on amoled would perhaps lead to problems.

    Unfortunately, myself and everyone around prefer MIP therefore there is no good watch to test properly available. I started to think about purchasing an amoled version just for the development purposes, However it would be pure waste of money from my perspective. Hence the question stands, would there be a will to pay for an amoled version of the face (perhaps between $3-$4) ? MIP version would remain free.

  • I definitely would.
