    The best watchface on fenix3! BIG THX.

    Can You add auto rotate option for layouts?
    For example change layout every 1, 3, 5 ... etc minutes
    Because I love them both:)

    like your watchface. I needed to update my GarminExpress to latest version otherwise it crashed on my fenix3. But working fine now. Including the Sunrise/Sunset.

    Yes. I've already received couple bad reviews because of that and it like I have nothing to do about it.

    My location at the moment: http://www.timeanddate.com/sun/netherlands/hilversum
    watchface says: sunrise: 08:43 (correct), sunset: 16:51 (3 mins earlier than timeanddate).
    (I updated and verified my GPS location in watch).

    Greece, Thessaloniki: 07:51 -> 17:24 according to the watch, 07:50 -> 17:22 according to the watch.

    Thanks guys! It seems like we are really good! Couple minutes offset is expected, since I'm using different algorithm.

    Are you accepting requests? Is it possible to disable rows or specific items? Tried to hide stuff that I don't need to see on my watch. Actually time only and sunrise+sunset time would suffice to me. All i could do was to set the color to black, which left the interface with missing stuff.
    Also, is it possible to add a fallback to the default font and maybe change font sizes?

    I will consider that, but it is tough though, since everything is interconnected from the design perspective.

    Ha-ha, cool idea.) I will think about it.

    Hey, fantastic watch face! Very clean.

    The amount of customization is fantastic! I think that's really one of the selling points of your watchface and could be developed even further! Here are a couple requests/suggestions:

    - Additional graph options:
    > steps per hour across the day (or group hours depending on layout space) instead of steps per day of the week - match graphic layout of steps per day of week
    > horizontal bar indicating progress of steps to step goal - match graphic layout of sunrise/sunset graph

    - Additional information options in upper screen section:
    > keep date information on top line, add steps/distance/calorie options for second line. Especially useful if the sunrise/sunset graph is selected for the bottom.

    Do you think it would be possible in increase the size of the time? It looks like you've almost maxed out the width (on the Fenix 3), but I wonder if it could be a touch wider if the time were shifted down a little closer to the horizontal centerline, and increase the height of the time. It would likely require reducing some of the information displayed below the time, but in my case, that would be a reasonable sacrifice to have a more prominent time section.

    Here's an example (larger time, steps graph on the bottom):



    And a steps widget with the same aesthetic:


    Keep up the good work!

    Would it be possible to get a white background?

    I love the watch face, it's my favourite one available for the Fenix 3. However I have trouble reading the white on black at times, and would love to have black/coloured text on a white background. Can you add an option to change the background colour. Thanks!
  • I dunno if it's a bug or not, but the battery percentage is not the same value with the one displayed when holding UP button.
    Your watchface battery value is always 1% lower than the value displayed by the watch(fenix 3 fw 6.50).
  • Activity history not working with 6.55 beta firmware

    Thanks for the great watchface. It is my favorite now.
    However the activity history is just showing one day after updating the Fenix 3 firmware to 6.55 beta. Could you please check?
  • Bug

    If the watch run out of battery the step graph jump over two days when the watched is charged. It leaves two days empty.
  • Here's an example (larger time, steps graph on the bottom):



    Keep up the good work!


    Oh yeah! As I wrote a few posts ago, bigger time would be very handy. My idea was, however, a reduction in history (eg five days, lower bars), but this idea is ok too. Personally, I would rather my idea, view a few days back running motivating :-D
  • Red

    I can choose dark red color. But it would be nice to have normal red color too. Is that possible?
