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!

  • Wierdly enough I just uninstalled the watch face from my device and it appears to be working now. Thanks Carmen anyhow. It's been resolved now and using a zombie instance of the watch face it appears lol

  • Hi. Please can you make the time colon color configurable on Glance Ultra. TIA 

  • Лучший циферблат, но почему-то перестала отображаться высота, вместо нее теперь просто прочерк... Раньше отображалась

  • Hi, I want to pay your wonderful Glance Pro, but without using Paypal. Can you offer me another way of payment? Thx!

  • Hello! This is best face app, thank you! I'm wondering though, for the wind feature, how do I know where it is taking the wind reading from and how to customize it? Because it isn't correct wherever my current location happens to be. Foe example, my watch currently says 15kts W, but it is more like 5kts SW. I am using the Descent. Thank you for your help

  • I tested your Glance watch faces and I bought the Ultra Version, because it has the highest customizability. Amazing watch face, exactly what I needed, I really like the simplicity you created with your watch face!

    There's just a small thing that, I really would like to see or would like you to test, that would make the "just a short glance to see everything" feeling even better, especially when you chose the top bar for "sun position".

    What if it would be possible for the user to add a dot (a small filled circle, like in the outer parts from the arc) to the arc line? In presets, the dot is in transparent mode, so not shown, but when the user wants to, he can chose a color.

    So for example, when the "sun position" is chosen as the top arc metric, the user could make the dot in yellow, the lines in blue and it would feel like the "sun" is literally moving across the top arc. I think that sounds really cool and I'm sure it would be really intuitive when you look at it.

    I have to admit, I guess it works the best for the sun position, but maybe it would also look good with other metrics.

    Please test it, I would really love to hear your feedback on that! :)

  • Are you able to update the glance themes page to reflect the new theme strings? It looks like they don't match.

    Also - if the first 5 themes on the themes page matched your built-in strings, that would be really helpful for folks to get an idea on what they are before going through the process of copying the string and applying it.

  • Hi Thanks for the perfect watch face!

    I got the red lines showing up in May, I have had the face for a couple of years. I paid it, and Wrote the code word in the app. I have restarted the watch and restarted the app. The lines Are still there! What can I do?

  • I got the red lines showing up

    It is not a part of the app's design - could be watch malfunction or a graphics glitch. I need to see the pictures to say more - can you post them here?
