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!

  • Thank you.  I was trying to do that on the watch itself.

  • I want to set the next alarm time in any field but I only get to choose Alarms Count, what can I do ?

  • Are DND/Bluetooth/Alarm Statuses available on Easy+ or HandyIQ? I’m on Easy Round and love this format, but am just lacking these features so I’m curious to know which to buy. 

  • Used easy round on my tactix delta solar for a long while and liked it. But just a few days back it stopped working. I cna see it in conmect IQ app on my android mobile but not available in watch anymore. 
    Any bad updates from garmin och developer that ruined or or is it my bad?
    What to do to get easy round back to my watch again?

    There is something going on with Garmin - I get a dozen of similar requests every day - all about different apps.

    One solution that was reported to work was to uninstall and reinstall the app.

    You can also try the following:
    - Use Garmin Express to install or update the app.
    - Reboot your phone and your watch.
    If it doesn't help, please contact Garmin support - only Garmin can help with installation.
    Thanks

  • Garmin stared talking about monthly fees but I guess they withdraw that proposal again - can it be something related to that.  
    But you as app developer, don't you have some interest that your paying customers can use what they paid you for, even it is not your fault?
    As app developer I guss you have a lot more technical knowledge about garmin than most watch owners/app buyers. 

  • But you as app developer, don't you have some interest that your paying customers can use what they paid you for, even it is not your fault?

    I do, that is why I try to help as much as I can - writing this posts for example. However, things like that can be fixed only by Garmin.

  • Which easy versions have Status icons (like Bluetooth and do not disturb)?

     It’s not clear but I’m ready to buy the one that has it

  • MD, I have glacé pro & upgraded to ultra. I’m having trouble getting ultra move bar to work, no issues with pro. I’ve looked over faq & the link to the “move bar” appears to be broken. Any help you could provide, greatly appreciated

    I can guarantee you that the Move bar is not broken - it's functionality so basic, that it works 100%. Most likely the colors you defined for that bar are not right. Please set the same colors as you did in Pro, and the bar should look exactly the same. Or feel free to post pictures here, that way I can tell you for sure.
