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!

  • Very possible given the timing of the fw update.

  • It is possible to use pace (like average pace) and VO2 metrics on the watch face? and how to set?

  • Bonsoir, 
    Votre application est définitivement la meilleure. 
    J’avais néanmoins 2 suggestions pour l’améliorer : 

    - le total running semaine est très intéressant mais il serait bien de pouvoir plutôt afficher les 7 derniers jours (7 jours glissants)

    - de la même façon, il serait bien de pouvoir afficher le total des 7 derniers jours de vélo. 

    Voilà, merci encore !

  • I have installed OK - its running on the watch (pro version) however in gamin express the settings are not in english and cannot see what has caused this - any suggestions (I have deleted and resinstalled (mac))

    That is a Garmin bug - try using Connect IQ on the phone instead. You can also check with Garmin support about it.

  • quadrante ben fatto e completo quasi di tutto.

    sarebbe perfetto se ci fosse il dato del conto alla rovescia verso l'alba / tramonto

    (EASY Round)

  • Sicuramente la migliore!! Io la uso su un Venu SQ 2, Se fosse possibile trasformare le Arc Bar in Bar Orizzontali sarebbe graficamente perfetta!! Grazie!

  • Thanks for the “Easy Round” watch face. Still in the 7 days to test, but so far really happy with it.
    Maybe one setting can be improved; if you save the settings, the ConnectIQ app goes back to the main screen, but if a setting isn’t what you wish, you have to scroll all the way down again and search for that specific setting again. It would be more convenient if it would stay at the setting you last changed after saving. Even without that, still very happy!

    I installed the watch face on a Venu 3 with an iPhone 12. All recent updates installed.

    (Didn’t read the whole thread, so excuse me if someone else mentioned this before)

    I agree, but that is entirely Garmin Connect IQ functionality. Would be nice if Garmin changed it.

  • Thans for the swift reply. It makes clear once again you did a perfect job and nothing to blame on you.
