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!

  • Hi, thanks for the amazing watch face,  I have instinct 2 enjoying the eazy round wf, but I really want to have the weather from OWM but it seems not possible to me with the easy round on instinct 2

  • Hi, thanks for the amazing watch face,  I have instinct 2 enjoying the eazy round wf, but I really want to have the weather from OWM but it seems not possible to me with the easy round on instinct 2

    Yes, I had to remove a lot of features from Instinct 2 due to extremely low memory available on that watch. OWM is one of them.

  • I love this watch face - but got super frustrated that it kept jumping back to the default watch face on my newly bought MK3. Anyone knows why it happened to me?

    Only Garmin can tell - switching active watch face is a Garmin functionality.

    Try rebooting your watch first.

  • I cannot get this watch face to install on my Venu SQ2? Along with numerous other ones, can you help?

  • Installation is a Garmin functionality - apps have absolutely no way to affect it.
    You can try the following:
    - Use Garmin Express to install or update the app.
    - Reboot your phone and your watch.
    If it doesn't help, please contact Garmin support - only Garmin can help with installation.

  • Hi!

    I recently discovered this watch face (Dual screen) and I love it! I didn't read all 200 pages of comments, so I apologize if it has already been asked, but I have 2 suggestions:

    1. Could you please include the high and low temperatures for the day on the watch face? Other custom watch faces have this feature, so it should definitely be possible to add.
    2. Specific to the Dual Screen one, would it be possible to change the screen based on sun? So it could automatically switch at night for example?

    Thanks!

  • Thank you for the suggestion, I'll keep it in mind.

  • Love the watch face in dual. I was wondering if you were planning on adding the calender data field where it shows the time of your next calender event. Thanks!

  • Not sure yet, but thank you for the suggestion - I'll keep it in mind.
