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!

  • It clearly states in description that the watchfaces are trial for 1 week, and after that some features will be optional.

    Just like many other developers, they put in time and work for creating them and will ofcourse have some compensation for their work.

    I find it very cheep to pay the small amount for that.

    Thanks for handling it mdeletr!

    True indeed. Not only it took hundreds or even thousands of hours to create these apps, but I also spend a few hours every day just answering user requests. Very few users actually pay, so I do it at below minimum wage (thankfully it is not my main job!). Any support is greatly appreciated Slight smile

  • Wait, so in a week it will stop working?

    No, BIG EASY will continue to work just fine. Please read app description for details.

  • I bought Glance Pro and didn't regret it.

  • Is it $2.98 once or is it a recurring monthly fee? I'd pay it if it was a one-time fee and it'll give me the weather temp. I don't have a Paypal account though.

  • I gladly support you more. I have paid but want to pay more, is it just to pay like last time?Slight smile

    I don't use subscriptions - everything is one time payment for life. Just click the link in the app description - there are multiple payment options in PayPal itself - no need for the actual PayPal account (even though it works more reliably).

    Slight smile. Thank you. Your replies on this thread give me much more support than a payment could!

  • Haha, no prob... I gladly do another payment anyway... Thanks for good support. I looking forward to coming system 6 with comlications on watchfaceSweat smile

    Like we discussed... Hopefully you are able to implement that in the future....

  • What means "complications"?
