Watchface: Glance

NEWS UPDATE:

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!

    The time fonts are limited to the list you see - there won't be any new time fonts for a while. But, as I explained, you can change the metrics font to better match the time. Metrics font can be changed in the Watch Face > Customize menu on your watch (not in the Connect IQ app settings).

    I buy ultra, perfect, I have now all I want and more (Second screen with other values I need) Thanks for your help 

  • Love the app, I bought glance ultra and it outshines anything else I've used, appreciate your work on these.

    Suggestion,  can you please add the high/low and POP fields to work with openweather?   

    Garmin weather is not always accurate but I'm stuck using it because I need the high/low and POP fields displayed, and they don't currently work with openweather.   I know the openweather API can serve that particular data, hopefully you can incorporate it in a future update?

    Please consider adding!

    I would have added it, but it requires a separate request of different type to OWM - the one I'm using (Current Weather) unfortunately doesn't have these values.

  • My notifications box on Glance free won’t go away ( still shows 1) even though I have dismissed all my notifications. I have turned it in and off in the settings and have restarted watch.

    You can review and delete the notifications in the Garmin Notifications widget on your watch. Some latest Garmin updates might also show the count of notifications from your phone that are not in the notifications widget - hopefully they will fix this bug at some point.

    On iPhone, here is how other users fixed the problem:
    - Open Notification Center.
    - Scroll to the bottom.
    - Tap Clear All Notifications.
    Even old notifications there will count toward the watch’s number.

    Here is developers thread about this issue:

    Thanks

  • I am very happy with Open Weather Map in the Glance Pro watchface, using the api key I have.

    Would you consider having a Weather Underground api connection as an option? I have an api key, and if you allow a weather station ID as an input, it can access specific location weather

  • in reply to NEUTRONWRANGLER

    You can only get the 32 character WU API key if you have a PWS that sends data to WU.  Once you have one, you can get data from any PWS known to WU.  So when I'm home, I can get data from my own back yard, and when I'm away, data from the nearest PWS to my current location.

    That would be a task for a separate app - I think there are already some available in the IQ store.
