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!

  • Buy the unlock code.

  • How do I pay for the Pro version?  It just says Payment required, but no way to pay.  I was using it and now the watch face says, "No Unlock Code".  I see a payment option for the Ultra, but I have a Fenix 5.  Say's not compatible.

    Here is the Glance Pro code purchase link:

    You can also find it in the app description (you have to click "more" to see the full description).

  • On the Easy Round,  I would like to see cumulative cycle distance for the week.  Just like I can with running.  Is that possible ?

    I added weekly and monthly distances in Universal App. It is a watch face extension app - give it a try!

  • Suggestion (don’t know if this has been asked before) -  could the Arc colours have the option of a red amber green traffic light?  So if the value is less than 35% of the bar it is red, 35%-~70% Amber and above this Green?  Would be good for step count 

    perhaps the reverse option for things like move bar where you want it red when over 70%. The values wouldn’t need to be user defined, just have the option to choose red amber green in the list of colours for the bar

    Thank you for the suggestion. These types of customizations (based on a specific bar type and percentage) are difficult to understand for a lot of people. I might do it if I ever find a way to make it simplified and more universal.

  • First, thank you very much for your screens. I'd iike to ask for a new funcionality for Glance Dual Screen. Change the screen in an scheduled time or, better, chance at rise/sunrise. My both screens are identical,  but the colours (day/night). Thank you very much!!
