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!

  • Hi, I am currently using Venu 2 with the latest firmware 12.13. However, Garmin connect IQ still required me to update my watch whenever I want to download any of your watch face. The same happened when I tried downloading through Garmin express on PC. Is Venu 2 supported? I think your design is really great.

    Thanks

  • I am currently using Venu 2 with the latest firmware 12.13. However, Garmin connect IQ still required me to update my watch whenever I want to download any of your watch face.

    It is not just for "my watrch face", it is ANY app in IQ store. That just usually means that your firmware is not the latest and an update is pending. Just wait for day or so - the firmware update will either pop up on your watch or get installed when you sleep. I has nothing to do with any specific app - apps have no way (or need) to request a specific firmware.

    Is Venu 2 supported?

    Yes.

  • HI, love the face face!  I bought the paid version watch face(easy round) on June 11,  it has been good but last week I had to factory restore my epix gen 2. 

    I just noticed tonight my watch face is no longer paid version.  I have sent you an email thru IQ store contact developer with my paypal transaction id and email. ( seems the unlock code I was sent on June 11 no longer works?)  Please help 

    not sure how to send private msgs here to you, but I requested friendship ( maybe need that )

    thank you

  • I forgot to mention my epix gen 2 supports the metrics I used to see in paid version

    the metrics now show $ symbol ( unlock code doesn't change it)  also long hold data field does not open the widget as well

    I already replied to your direct message (please do not duplicate messages by the way). The code you have is correct (DO NOT post it here thought!) and works 100% - just make sure it is still entered in the app settings and for the correct app. Those 2 are the most common misstakes users make.

    It happens that app settings do get reset after a Garmin firmware update.

    If you still have a problem, please reply to my direct email, not here.

    Thanks

  • I put the right block of the Easy Round face to a Custom time but it just selected a random time zone. How do I pick the time zone (UTC) that I want displayed.

    Change "Custom TIME UTC" in the app settings. And please update (delete and re-post) your review. Thanks

  • I just play around with the data in Glance Pro and use my OWM key in order to see the OWM data. I would like to see the daily highest and lowest temperature in one field, like garmin provide this by default. I thought "OWM diagnotic" will do this, but all I get are three digits (all the same number) , separated with ":", like "19:19:19". The number increase every Minute.

    What is this and how can I get those Informations 

    Thank you

  • I thought "OWM diagnotic" will do this

    This metric is for me to investigate OWM issues.

    I would like to see the daily highest and lowest temperature in one field

    It doesn't fit in one field, esspecially in extreme cases like -100/-120

  • Hi, love the watch face thank you. Just wondering what does the top arc bar represent? Been racking my brains and can't figure it out!
