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):

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 ! 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

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!

How do I pay for the Pro version? I just says Payment required, but no way to pay. I was using it and now the watch face says "No Unlock Code".

Hello MD,

Is there any way to add/show Aeroplane mode icon onto the Glance or Glance Pro,
Currently, we have BT, DND, and Alarm symbols in the Status bar, but Aeroplane mode is missing.
My device is ForeRunner 225 Music. Thank you..

This is the best watch face I've found, thanks for this! I have some requests though! I have the top field set as Date, and all the time if I'm crossing my arms, or if I, say, sit down and I have my wrist leaning against my thigh because it's holding the phone, the Event screen opens. And then I have to always manually exit out of it. I don't really have any events in my calendar so this is whole screen is pointless to me. Is there some way to disable the "long touch to open" for the Date part?

And it'd also be great if menus could be put on time-out. If I accidentally slide against the screen the menu will open, which I then have to manually exit out of with the button. If there was a setting that just returned it to the default watch face if it wasn't interacted with that'd be brilliant.

Hello, my Glance Pro face watch says: "NO UNLOCK CODE" even though my watch is unlocked. How can I fix it?

Good afternoon, I am trying to purchase this application, but when I pay with my card number, my bank doesn't process it and I get the message that the payment is being processed. I can't even download it because I don't know how to charge it. My bank is ING and I also can't pay with my Garmin watch; I paid for the glance ultra application via the web on my PC, and the payment is not being processed. Is there any solution to this problem?

Ultra's payments are handled by Garmin Pay and unfortunately I have no control over it. You can contact Garmin support, but some users reported that the situation got resolved by itself after some time. Thanks

Is this still the case for glance pro? Because my Steps doesn't get rouinded and icon dissapear over 10k..

Rounded steps are a separate metric - I had to remove it from Glance Pro to be able to fit the app on devices with low memory. It is available in Dual Screen and Ultra versions of the app.
