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!

  • Hello,  have enjoyed your watch face!  So clean and organized without feeling overcrowded.  It looks so simple until you see the myriad of watch faces out there.  I've actually installed this on friend's watches as well!  Well, one of those friends would like to see VO2 on the screen.  Which if any of your faces allow for that? I've looked through each and none seem to call out.  I think Ultra and maybe Pro but I don't see them explicitly listing the data field.

    Thank you for a great watch face.

  • .. sigh. nm found it under Ultra

    VO2 is added in Glance Ultra and Glance Dual Screen versions of the app - give them a try!

    We are unable to save your settings at this time.
    Please try again later.

    I have been getting this error on Save settings for a couple of months now, even if I have made no settings changes. It is a paid for version of the watchface. Is there any way to bypass this and save changes? I only want to update OWM API key as I had to change that.

    GLANCE watch face does not have this error.

    Does this error affect Glance Ultra? Unfortunately I cannot try before I buy, which I would do if I knew it would work.

    The most reliable way is to uninstall and reinstall the app - it should work after that. You can also try to restore some of the user themes on the watch and reboot it, but that doesn't always work. If you uninstall the app, please don't forget to preserve your unlock code.

    The issue is fixed in all versions of the app, but as I mentioned before, it might require a fresh install (or re-install).

    About testing paid Garmin Pay apps - you can absolutely do it. You would have to pay up front, but you can get a refund from Garmin within 2 days.

  • Many thanks for the help - I will try these steps
