Watchface: Glance

NEWS UPDATE:

With introduction of Garmin Pay, I am starting to add a new payment option for some of my apps. The system is not flexible enough to just add Garmin Pay to existing apps, so I'll publish a copy of an app, with the same functionality but Garmin Pay as the payment provider.

The first one out is Glance Ultra (a copy of Glance Dual Screen):

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!

  • Yup, its Forerunner 955, as per description it should not have amoled

  • Try another CIQ watchface. Try one with the option to enable the seconds during high power mode or always on.

  • As I said, this is beyond just missing wake-up call. Translucent digits are impossible to reproduce by running or not running any code. It could be hardware, or at very least firmware issue.

  • But if it was a hardware issue wouldn't these messed up digits always be there?

  • Hello, new owner of Fenix 6X Pro Solar here. I really liked this watch face from all I've seen and I am very happy with it.

    Just a question to understand how it works.

    In the Settings no matter if I select:

    • Weather Feels Like Temperature / Condition or
    • Weather Temperature / Condition

    I get the same "Feels like" temperature in the top right field. I have attached screenshots, as i don't know how to explain it better.

    Is that intended? Shouldn't the Weather temperature should show i.e. 13? 

    thanks a lot

    ΝΟΤΕ: now that I noticed the watch face works correctly. Probably the weather station garmin is getting the data is not accurate/ not working correctly and there does not seem for a way to change weather stations manually

  • Tried different CIQ watchface, the same behaviour as with Glance

  • Hi,

    From the pictures you post, it looks to me that Garmin weather widget gives a temperature of -1º and a feels-like temperature of -1º as well (they are the same). 13º and 7º are the forecasted max and min temperatures.

    So. it is correct that the watch face shows -1º regardless that you select current or feels-like in settings as, for the specific moment you are testing, the two temperatures are identical.

    I'd suggest you try when the feels-like is different from the actual.

    Best 

  • You are right. The weather station id is 16715 in my location, and this one propably has issues with the humidity sensor that determines the difference between feel and real temperature so they seem to be always the same.

    I think there is no way to manually select a different weather station (you can only change the location, but this weather station seems to be auto-applied to all locations in Athens, Greece)

  • Ok, so today it has happened even with the build in watchface. Going to try the factory reset and then probaly replacement, as i have for like a month.

  • That's really weird. Now the glance widgets are behind the watchface.
