EASY Round

GLANCE WATCH FACE app won THE BEST NEW WATCH FACE APP OF 2022 ! At the Developers conference Garmin announced nominees and winners for the best apps in different categories. Glance Watch Face was nominated and won in the best new watch face category Slight smile! Garmin didn't post the video from the conference yet, but it was already reported by other websites: https://the5krunner.com/2022/10/12/garmin-app-watchface-of-the-year-2022-ciq-winners-and-nominees-announced/

The idea for this app is simple:
- Use only large fonts, so that all data are visible at a glance (hence the name of the app: Glance   )
- Put as much data on the screen as possible, without sacrificing font size above
- Make all data fields customizeable to your needs
- Make colors customizeable as much as possible, so users can create their own design

The "Glance Watch Face" app is 100% FREE - no hidden restrictions, nagging, or expiration:

There is also a mostly free app - BIG EASY: apps.garmin.com/.../86ec352b-da01-4806-8972-770c6d32a5e8

There are also two paid versions of this app - "Glance Pro":

and "Glance Dual Screen":

https://apps.garmin.com/en-US/apps/5c0fe72b-f045-4366-a878-d3e67c600868

Paid versions are identical to the free version (so no worries, FREE doesn't mean bad!), but have a lot of extra features features:

  • Open Weather Map support
  • Setting for TIME font weight
  • New way to use shared color themes
  • Support for many new metrics (like Body Battery, Stress Level, and lots more)
  • Extra progress bars and Graphs (in Dual Screen only)
  • Two separate data screens (in Dual Screen only) 
  • A lot more - see apps description for the full list
  • You have an opportunity (and a small incentive) to support the development Slight smile

Unique feature of the Glance apps - you can save your own Color Themes and quicly switch between them righ on the watch.

NEW: Now you can SHARE your Color Theme! You can also quickly apply Color Themes shared with you. Here is a full description of how it all works: https://www.mobiledriveway.com/glance.html#color

Here is the current Color Themes Gallery: https://www.mobiledriveway.com/glance_gallery.html

Color themes are compatible between "Glance" and "Glance Pro" (except for "inactive status icons color", which became obsolete in "Pro").

I'd love to see all color combinations you came up with. Please post your themes in the Reviews and I'll add them to the gallery!

Questions and suggestions are welcome!

    Може в полето за процент на батерията да покаже колко дни живот на батерията остава... Снимката е примерна.. 

  • What are the Theme 1/2/3 Strings for?

    You can save themes and apply them directly from the watch.

    Would you consider having an alternative string for during sleep hours, or after sunset?

    Possibly in Dual Screen, but not the Pro. 

  • Може в полето за процент на батерията да покаже колко дни живот на батерията остава... Снимката е примерна.. 

    It is already available in Glance Pro, Dual Screen, and BIG EASY.

  • Would you consider a colour palette so that we can see at a glance how the different colour names display?

    Not sure where the color palette should be. It is meaningless in the app description - MIP displays have very different color representation from AMOLED, plus each watch model can have different colors.

    Well, for starters, please do not send the same questions through multiple channels - I already replied to your direct message. Let's continue there please.

    Hello everyone... Can anyone tell me after I pay and get a code when I put it in the first unlock field does the text disappear - "Payment"... I paid for this watch face but will I put the code or not ,the functions are the same.. Then what is the idea of ​​this payment.. The inscription - "Payment" is still there...

  • You should have some more metrics after your payment.

  • Nothing will change, neither in the menus nor in the IQ webpage. Payment code has nothing to do with that. Also the metrics description in the menus stays the same, but the paid metrics will be available even after the expiration date (trial period). If you don't need the paid metrics you can keep using the free app without the unlock code.

    Hi Everyone,

    I spent 3 hours yesterday trying to help this user (his name is Milen). He demanded that I remove "Payment" label in the app description (since he already paid  Rolling eyes). By the end he became abusive and started threatening me. Usually I just ignore it, but even after V43X took time and replied to Milen (with all the information I already gave him), he still went ahead and posted a 1 star review ASKING THE SAME QUESTION Slight smile! I'm not sure whether to laugh or cry... Milen, no one can reply to reviews except the developer!

    Anyway, if you guys are curious, go to the app and read his review yourself:

    While you are at it, please write your own review if you have a minute!

    This is a bad side of being a developer. Sorry to bring it up everyone, just felt like sharing today.

    Thanks!
