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!

  • Great products. Dual screen is very clever. 

    On my last watch, Galaxy 5 Pro, samsung allowed tracking and watch face display of next alarm, the actual time. Very handy. Any similar provisions from Garmin watches? Or your Glance watch faces?

    Not at the moment. I'm not sure if it is even possible for 3rd party apps.

  • Could you add #e9174b as a color option on Glance Pro please?

    There is a similar color in EASY Round (Barbie pink) - give it a try it there.

  • Thanks for the reply! EASY round is nice, but Glance Pro is my daily driver. Really wanting to add that Apple pinkish-red to my upper arc. I would pay you to add it Slight smile

    It is a lot of work - since color string is interchangeable between all GLANCE apps, I would have to make changes to all of them. All together a few hours of work, meaning at least couple hundred bucks (if you want to pay for it). Use Contact Developer If you are good with it.

  • All these comments and you have such prompt responses. 

    Clever product, only what I need to see, affordable, easy to adjust, prompt support, ...

    I hope you make a fortune in software development.

    Thanks! Sadly, there is no money in Garmin development, at least nothing close to a fortune. But I appreciate the support I receive - a lot of happy users make me happy as well Slight smile

  • Hi, I love the Glance watchface and just upgraded to Pro.

    I was wondering an option could be added in the settings to invert the colors when Do Not Disturb is on. I’ve seen it in other watchface and have always liked how easy it is to tell if the watch is in DND mode. Thanks!

    It is a nice idea, but it presents a logistical challenge. I'll implement it if I ever find a way to resolve it.
