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!

  • Would it be possible to have lowercase in date ? Instead of "WED" we would be able to have "Wed." --with trailing dot; localized of course, as it is already done. Also, for battery remaining in days, have the unit localized ? I'm French and rather have lowercase "j" for "jours" than "d".

    Easy Round watch face already has option for capitalized date. For Glance series I have to check - I might add it to the Pro version if it is not there yet.

    Localization for day and week symbols is harder to do - it would have to be done manually for all 50 supported languages.

  • I want to purchase the big easy unlock code but the problem is I'm residing in Turkey and paypal officially doesn't support payments from Turkey. The purchase options on site is either use paypal or use debit/credit card(which is still using paypal services) so neither accepts payments. Can you please provide an alternative for the people who reside in Turkey just like me?

    Yes. Please use Contact Developer and I'll send you an alternative payment method. Thanks

  • No intention to optimise for square watch? Say Venu Sq 2

    Not at the moment.

  • I paid and then reset my watch. Now I don’t have access to my body battery. What can I do to get it back? Thank you

    Please use Contact Developer for all payment related questions. I'll need your PayPal transaction ID in text format (no pictures please).
    Thanks

  • Mine now says No unlock code?

    it stops me looking at some data fields

    any ideas?

    You can find payment instructions in the app description (you have to click "more" to see the full description).
    Thanks

  • I meet an issue with the Arc Bars color when set the Top Arc Bar as Sun Position Bar.

    Here are my settings:
    - Top Arc Bar: Sun Position Bar
    - Top Arc Color 1: Yellow
    - Top Arc Color 2: Dark Gray
    - Top Arc Color 3: Dark Gray

    In the daytime, the Color 1 & 2 work as expected, however, when the sun goes down, the entire bar will become yellow.
    I set the Top Arc Color 3 to several colors for testing, except the Dark Gray, all of the other colors work.

    Could you help to look into this issue?

    Either full or empty Sun bar mean the same thing - the sun is below the horizon. You can switch Yellow and Gray - this way you will see the amount of sunlight left in the day and it will be dark at night.

  • Hi. I love your watch face Big Easy. Is there any compatibility with the training readiness / training load functions? I'm interested in buying the premium version but don't know if that feature is available. If not it would be awesome if you could add it.

    There is a metric - Time to recovery. It is basically what Training readiness is based on. Give it a try!

  • Hello, I have a question.
    How to connect the "HYDRATE+ premium" app with the "Glance Pro" watch face?
    was in the "upper arc" was the hydration level. How to do it, because for now the watch face app does not respond, in the settings I have marked "hydration. Hydrate+ app must be installed".
    Watch for "garmin fenix 6x Pro".

    You have to install my app "Hydrate+", not  "Hydration Pro" (which is someone else's app).

  • first congrats on the screen… it’s just amazing

    i have a question: it’s possible to set up a 2nd clock (different timezone) on the second screen? How can I do it?

    thanks for the help.

    You can use Custom Time metrics with different time zone, but the main time is the same on both screens.

  • Any way to get battery in days?  Love it otherwise.

    Battery in days and a lot more features are added in the Glance Pro and Glance Dual Screen versions of the app. Give them a try!
