Watchface: Glance

Excellent face, only one I use, please consider adding precipitation as a field 

This DEW point value, what purpose? I’ve read about the comfort levels- sticky If > 16C (61F) etc but how does it help us? For training purposes or so? One does actually experience itself when the heat becomes sticky, uncomfortable, oppressive- no need for a number to confirm or am I missing something? Thanks for clarifying. 

Hey Forkys, I'll answer you from my point of view, and try to keep it short since this is a developer forum. You are right in a sense. You don't NEED a number to confirm it is humid or sticky, but I would argue that you don't need a number to confirm it is hot or cold, but people still find temperature useful to know. I find it convenient to have an absolute value for humidity. Before I go out on a run, I look at temperature and dew point, and those two numbers give me a great idea of how I'm going to feel. One could argue that "feels like" does the same, but I prefer to look at the numbers separately.

Hey MobileDriveway, just a follow up on the approximation formula for dew point. I've been thinking, and even though it says in the article I shared it is "close enough", people who own high end Garmin devices are usually pretty finicky about precision, and I'm thinking maybe you would get "hate" for the approximate DP value. I know runners want their GPS and their HRM to be ultra precise. So I'm taking my suggestion for DP out of the hat unless it's the real formula. You do what you want, of course.

Thanks - I myself never use Dew Point, just fulfilling a request.

Well, I wish you mentioned it earlier - the Dew Point is already implemented based on your request. I can't take it out - people do get upset when something they count on during the purchase (or even something they consider a promise) is removed. 

Can you give me a more precise formula? It must be based on Temperature and Humidity only (I don't see Pressure provided by Garmin Weather and I don't want to use onboard pressure sensor as it is missleading sometimes).

Very nice watchface! Very clean and easy to read. Glance Dual is amazing! I like new progress bars.

if possible please add "Daily active minutes" for all progress bars. Daily goal can be calculated as "weekly active minutes goal / 7"

Thanks. I'll keep it in mind.

Purchased Glance Pro the day it was released and just purchased Glance Dual so I could use the progress bars as well as arc bars.
