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!

  • First, thanks for all the AMAZING watch faces! Your watch faces have been my most used on every Garmin that supports them. 

    I purchased Big Easy IQ for use on my Fenix 7 Solar, but just upgraded to a Fenix 8 Solar with plans to reset and sell the old watch. Is there any way I can transfer my paid Big Easy IQ from the Fenix 7 to the Fenix 8? Order Number: 108522275245, order placed May 12, 2026.

  • Hi, I buy Glance Pro and for me it's very good look and visibility.
    3 suggestions for me for best usage :
    - add time format with Day Date Month (for example ; "Fri 21 Aug") 
    - can be choose individual icon color and text for 4 fields data. For example chose red icon for heart and red text for heart, choose blue icon for Step and cyan color for text ....    
    - chose text different color for Top and Bottom, for example Date with White color but Green for battery % 

    With this 3 suggestion you have here the best face for a longest moment

    Thank you. FYI, for payments which are handled by Garmin Pay, unfortunately developers have no control - it is entirely on Garmin side. I don't know order numbers or who ordered what. You would have to contact Garmin support.

    However, all purchases should be linked to your Garmin account and work on all your devices. If they don't, please contact Garmin.

    Long date format doesn't fit into a glanceable design. However, you can use Month or Weed day as a separate metric - it will give you the long format you wanted.

    Individual colors are implemented in the Glance Ultra version of the app - give it a try!

  • On the glance ultra can we get more fonts for the time? The same fonts as the metrics please

    On Glance Ultra you can change metrics font (if your watch is compatible) and find one that matches time better.

    "Individual colors are implemented in the Glance Ultra version of the app - give it a try!"

    I don't understant, I see any example in Ultra, all faces exemple have icon with same color and text color same for all. For sure you can chose a color but for all at same time, it's only because any example is visible but is posible to do ? 
    Ultra can give exactly look Pro version (: separator time; hour with banding ?) 

    All I see in Pro I want it, if Ultra only add option but any is lost, probably it can be the good choose, but I need to be sure 

  • in reply to MobileDriveway

    Excuse me, I see one only example with color difference in Ultra ... perfect. All other option are posible ? 
    Hour separate minute with ":" ? 
    Hour with lines ?

    Yes, and a lot more (compared to Pro). Also, you have 48 hours to test the apps purchased through Garmin Pay - if you don't like them, you can get a refund from Garmin (not me - I have no control there). So, it is safe, go ahead and try!

    Derp! I don't buy many paid watch faces, just yours actually, and assumed they were tied to a single watch. Keep up the great work, thanks for answering my boneheaded question, and thanks again.
