Discussion. Suggestions? Bugs?
  • Like this watchface which I started using when I got my Fenix 5X a couple of weeks ago. However, the time till next sun event does not work.

    Right after a GPS fix, it shows the correct time for sunrise/sunset but then it changes to a very wrong value.

    Can you please fix that?

    I am really loving the features and optical minimalistic appear of this watch face.

    Please fix the sunrise sunset time which are only correct after a gps fix but than changing to awful wrong numbers. You could implement a manual home country field to the watchface settings so it taked the data from there?

    The watchface is very minimalistic but it seems to drain my battery somewhat faster than other watchfaces like for example gearmin with all its colours. Why is that?
  • Digic watch is the absolute best watch face. It is customizable beyond the dreams of most smart sports watch owners. But I have 3 important problems that needs to be resolved:

    1) When I leave my watch off my wrist at night (fenix 5xs are not necessarily the most comfortable watch to use when sleeping), the next day the digic watch face would crash (It would revert to the watch face previously chosen before the digic watch. And the watch face option for digic watch would show the IQ logo with exclamation mark). In fact, it doesn't take a whole night to crash. Only a few hours (about 3?). But if I wear it, it will not crash. Strange...

    AND here's the big AND... restoring the watch face to digic watch is a pain the ass. I tried soft resetting, syncing using phone (worked once), syncing using pc, changing to a different watch face before syncing with pc (worked once), changing the settings and saving. And they only work when it feels like working (2 out of 10 times). Well, the last thing i tried that worked was reinstalling the watch face. Hopefully it works the next time it decides to crash. Fingers crossed.

    2) The training effect for the fenix 5x may need to be split into 2 (aerobic and anaerobic) thing is, after my activity, which shows an aerobic TE of 5.0 and anaerobic TE of 4.6, the Training effect indicator on the watch face stays at 0.0

    3) The floors.... I could go up and down the same flight of stairs (4 floors) and sometimes it would register 4 floors (rare), sometimes 0 (and other times anything else in between)

    4) And maybe a 4 is needed. People are complaining about sunrise and sunset times being inaccurate. I haven't used this feature myself. But maybe in the future I will, Why not, right?

    Please please fix these! I like your watch face so much I would love to paypal you a token gratitude. But please fix these. For now, I am not taking the watch off my wrist in an attempt to persuade the digic watch face to not crash. So please hurry before I develop rashes on my wrist.
  • If it is possible, please make VO2max and aerobic Training effect and anaerobic training effect on the watch face. Thank you

    Using version 4.1.3 on my Fenix 5, and I’m seeing two issues:

    1. Seconds aren’t displaying correctly with Bigger Font enabled: a line is appearing to the left of the digit in the tens place.

    2. Battery says 89 on the watch face, but is actually 88%

  • Tried to install this on my S60 and it just shows the error logo on my watch face. Is there an issue with the S60 or am I missing a step? Other watch faces load just fine. Thanks!

    Hi
    I was using DigicWatch 4.0 and Garmin express never proposed to update it. I had to uninstall/reinstall it to get the latest version (Fenix 5X)

    I also confirm the bug with second display that crzyfgrs mentioned

    Regards
  • +1 regarding the problem with seconds when using the bigger font (as crzyfgrs and apc005 already wrote).
  • this is still my favourite watch face.

    one question: there are so many data fields one can select - why can i not select "recovery time/time to recover (which tells how many hours one should rest after an activity)" or "training load"?

    both fields would be a nice addition.
  • I have version 4.1.3 of this watchface and the same issue with seconds and bigger font.

    But what's more annoying, the data of the sunrise/sunset layout is wrong sometimes. If I have GPS, it shows the correct times.
    But if I don't have GPS, the times switch to some other times which are not correct (the difference of sunrise is ~2 hours). I thought the last known GPS position is used for this? Because if that would be true, the times should stay the same even with no GPS?
    When I get GPS, the times then change to the correct ones, but change to false ones after a certain time without GPS.
