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):

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":

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 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!

    but then I opened the health data and saw that the watch could not actually determine the stress level. If you are able to read that in the watch face app, it would be a lot better if the bar was empty or a different colour if the stress data is not available.

    Not sure what happens in this case, but I most likely read the last Stress data value from the history. It might be a proffered for some people - hard to be certain.

    Thank you. I wasn’t aware of this option.

    A distinction would be great, because I never know whether the value is current, or an hour old, or a day old. I have to check every time, which defeats the glanceability.

    When the watch wakes up, all values are always the latest - as provided by Garmin. For weather, you can add "weather update time" metric, to see when it was updated last.

  • Greetings. First of all, i have to say, i'm loving the Glance dual screen watch face. It gives me everything i need, with fast and quick access to all info. Because of this, i even purchased it. Now, i've noticed you released the Glance Ultra version, which is a copy of Glance dual screen but has a tiny bit more features. I would like to have this version since it's got the small icons for each bar (which the dual screen version doesn't have), as well as other smaller improvements. However, since i paid for the other version, it is redundant to me to purchase this version and pay it in full just for some small improvements. What happens in this case? I would pay the difference, sure, but to pay the whole price for basically another copy of the old version is a bit much? Thanks in advance!

    The only reason Glance Ultra was released, is to offer Garmin Pay system to users, which significantly reduced compatible watch models (only newer watches are compatible with Garmin Pay). That also allowed me to add some new features to Ultra.

    Unfortunately, I have no control over Garmin Pay payment system - Garmin doesn't give me a way to provide discounts. The only way to switch to Ultra at the moment, is to buy it at full price from Garmin, sorry.

    Thanks
