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 - 2023 #1 watch face of the year (by Garmin):

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":

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!

    Yes, but what means User Theme 1 String, 2 String, …

    what is the first watch face that I can copy to what, to get at least the same colors in face 2? 
    or id there an explanation for theme strings, which number is which field and color?

    These are themes applied from Watch Face > Customize menu on your watch.

    Ok, thanks. Found a workaround to get the right colors on second watch face. 

    I am color blind, so it is important for me to find colors, that I see proper, otherwise the core strength of this app glanceability is not given. 

  • The Bluetooth icon status shows disconnected if Connect or Connect IQ app killed on background. But Bluetooth still connected to the watch (FR265S). 

  • Bonjour, pour l'instant le meilleur cadran Slight smile. Mais la sensibilité au mouvement sur ma 255 semble élevé, y a t'il un réglage?

    It is a Garmin functionality, please contact Garmin support.
    The app just shows the status provided by Garmin.

    can you please answer my question?

  • Just sharing my color theme for Glance Ultra on my Enduro 3. This is a simple black on white scheme designed for easy readability in full sunlight or dim light without a backlight and everything in between. This is great for MIP screens, not AMOLED:

  • Hi. I can’t seem to get the metrics (calories, heart rate steps etc) to go into a bold font on my watch. I copied and pasted a theme from its still in a standard font. Thanks 

  • Hi, first of all thanks a lot for your amazing watch faces, eventually I found the one that really does all I need!

    I'd like to buy the Ultra version, as you said in one of your previous posts this is going to be the top-of-the-line version moving forward, there are two issues though:

    1) Ultra is not supported on my device (Fenix 6S sapphire) - maybe its support was overlooked? There are even older watches and ones with equivalent specs supported, so the missing support doesnt seem intentional

    2) Pro doesnt have the possibility to add a field with "Steps - rounded after 10k", which the free version has Open mouth, this feature is very useful to provide a clearer view - I would go even one step forward and suggest to add it also below 10k steps, if the user desires. The 0.1k resolution sounds reasonable enough in most cases.Anyways, could you please check if Ultra has this limitation as well and the feature was not ported over from the free version?

    Thanks in advance for considering these requests!
