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!

  • Hi there!Nice work!keep it up!

    can I add a data field with data coming from another data field application? I use CGM connect datafield to acquire values for the glucose sensor through mobile phone and can display them during activities by adding this data field in the layout of the app.

    it would be nice if you could integrate external data field functionality also because I like your designs!

    thanks!

  • Payment required is making up the “line” but I bought the app a few years ago, and also payed 4.99 euro June 3th. 
    So there must be something wrong!

  • The picture are not showing up. I tried to post it.!

  • Please enter the unlock code in the app settings, the very first field. App settings can be accessed in the Garmin "Connect IQ" app on your phone or in Garmin Express on a computer.

    If you lost the unlock code, please use Contact Developer to send me your PayPal transaction ID in text format (no pictures please). I'll verify it and resend you the code. You also will be able to send me pictures there after I reply - I'm not you are using my app, "red line" doesn't sound right.

  • I got the code after I payed. I typed it in exactly like in the mail. Six capital letters. I tried to redo it five minutes ago, wrote the word, restarted the watch and connect iq. 
    I have used the face several years without problem.

    and try to explain it a little better. When I do not touch the face. It look normal except it’s a $ where the stress, bodybattery and temperature are placed. The red line show up when I try to push on one of the three fields, two horizontal lines Show up On the screen

  • Hey Mr MobileDriveway, my first reply to this post got stuck in review, so I try again:

    I bought the Glance Ultra watch face, love everything about it. As you mentioned in the Garmin IQ store, this thread here is the best way for feature recommendations. So after using the watch face for a while I have two. The first one might be difficult to implement because it's about the bars. When you chose "Position of the sun" it would be awesome, if there wouldn't be a bar, but more of a dot, that moves, like literally the sun moving across the sky when you chose the topbar for this kind of information.

    The second recommendation or feature request would be for the middle bars. You made the indication lines at 20%, 40%, 60% and 80%. I guess it would be easier to read/understand when the indication lines would be at 25%, 50% and 75%. Or alternative, to rework the whole bar so, the seperating line above/below marks the 50%. Right now, it's a bit confusing when to take a glance.

    Final thought, not feature request in particular, more a "would be nice to have": Adding a graph for solar charging and the total lux for the day as available option for the information fields would be nice.

    Overall, I love your watch face and I happily spend the 6€ on it. You created something really great!

  • Hi, I'm using Glance Ultra on the Fenix 7S Pro. I have noticed that when using the outline font and enabling the colon between hours and minutes, having seconds enabled cuts out a small box-shaped part of the minutes. Could this be fixed? Thanks

  • I have fenix 8 51mm, and am using glance ultra. Every 3rd or 4th time the screen unlock timeouts, it glitches and all graphics disappear but time number is still there for a few seconds.
