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.

    we can give it a try, but need to sort out new release first

    check you watch is not giving you valid GPS fix with both [lat,lon]=[0,0]. Mine is doing it from time to time, only garmin knows why. you can also PM me your coordinates and i can check whether there is a bug in calculation.

    Hi all, unexpectedly, as expected, i've hit  memory bugs few days after i started test the weather feature on my wrist. Therefore new release will take few more days. However, while trying to fix the issues "brilliant" idea, which should come weeks ago already,came to my mind.

    How you actually want to have weather represented ?


    At this moment you can display two from available current weather values and put them anywhere on the screen and/or you can choose to display "Weather" block with either Current weather, Hourly Forecast, Daily forecast, Current+2xHourly or Current+2x Daily view.
    You can select what you wanna see, how many rows(1-6) or columns(1-5) you want to see and what color it will have. You can also change font for visible data.

    example below:

    Available data i am currently storing is (some data are not available in all views): Average Temp, Max/Min Temp, Feels like, Wind speed, Wind Direction, Probability of precipitation, Precipitation level, Humidity, visibility, MSL pressure +plus weather icons

    Any suggestions, wishes or  ideas ?

    Hi, dear developer! Sofar all looks great, and customization of weather looks absolutely full. Its hard to suggest something untill release and hands-on testsSlight smile . After release i will try to combine weather and forecast with all other data i need. And maybe then will suggest some improvements. Thanx a lot for your huge piece of work

    Sofar i see to try 3 variants to combine. Will see which one will be prettier.

    have rough  played with a space a bit. The place promices to be enough for 3×4 or even 4×4 weather grid, without loosening important for me data. Amazing.

    Dear Tomulli. As i have calculated and figured out, here would be perfect basic and enough informative widget, and there will be enough place between HR graph and clock!

  • over 4 years ago in reply to 5690448

    Current icon and temperature( big icon and big number) + 3\4\5 day forecast in smaller dimension

    Hi Tomulli, big fan of this watch face. I turn notifications on and off quite a lot, can you add an icon showing if the notification is on or off? There's only 1 face here that does it so far as I know. Keep up the great work Thumbsup
