Watchface: Glance

MobileDriveway
over 2 years ago

NEW: Just published a new app - EASY Round. Give it a try!

apps.garmin.com/.../9a619d99-3e5b-4eec-81e7-006655d797cc

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:
https://apps.garmin.com/en-US/apps/07ae ... 07e8035fae

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":

https://apps.garmin.com/en-US/apps/ac4be3ce-f0f3-4c49-be01-5fa52614ab2b

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, I've been using Glance since I got my garmin watch and I love it but I wanted to ask if it would be possible to add month in the number format since I find it easier to use. Ideally for the separate option so i can still see day of the week

    Anyway thanks for the great work.

    I'll put it on my TO DO list, but no promises or ETA. Thanks

    Hello, I love the BIG EASY watchface, but I'd like to always keep the seconds in the middle, is that possible?

    I want to disable the notification count because on my FR 955, the number font goes outside the icon, and this looks ugly. And generally, I don't want to know about the notifications, but right now it seems that disabling them will move the seconds to the right, and the whole beautifully symmetric watchface becomes asymmetrical :/.

    Thanks for considering!

    Would you mind posting a picture where notifications count goes outside the icon? In the simulator it looks fine.

    I'll test the seconds position, or maybe add an option to keep it centered - no promises or ETA though.

    One other thing you can do - enable "Show A/P (for AM/PM) when Notifications box is disabled or there are no notifications".

    That will keep the seconds centered. And you can even set "Notifications Box (or AM/PM) Color" to match background, so it will be invisible, but seconds will remain centered.

    Thanks! This is how it looks on device:

    Thanks, that's a neat trick, and it works for me :). If I could have a wish, I'd have alarm icon (if set) - always centered seconds - BT icon.

    Thanks for the picture. Garmin fonts are a mess - they position differently on different watch models. I'll keep in mind this one, will see if I can adjust it a bit.
