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, would you be so kind to reveal some technical details about switching to second screen functionality?

    I'm trying to implement the same in my own watchface. I store timestamp in onEnterSleep() and compare it with the current timestamp in onExitSleep() and do the switching, if the duration is short. This works fine except for one thing: whenever I exit to complication and return back to watchface or go to system glances loop and return back quickly enough, my WF switches to another screen, as onEnterSleep()/onExitSleep() is called when my WF goes off the screen and shows again. I tried to nullify timestamp in onHide() to avoid that, but it doesn't work, as onHide() doesn't seem to be called.

    Could you, please, tell, how do you overcome this?

    There is no work around as far as I know. Try asking about it in the developers forum.

  • Hi, I paid for Big Easy. I can't find the code. Where is it? In paypal?

  • Hi! I’m absolutely loving your Easy Round watch face, and have bought the full version haha. As a feature request request: For the left and right progress bars, could you add the ability to display “training readiness” as well? (I’m on the Instinct 2S).

    Thanks a lot!

    Thanks.

    Unfortunately Garmin doesn't provide Training Readiness to 3rd party apps.

    Also, Instinct watches have a very low memory and I can't add any new features to them without risking an "Out of memory" error.

  • Buenos dias, le he escrito un correo directamente, tengo un fenix 6x pro y estoy encantado con vuestro wachtface "easy round" pero hace una semana tuve que restablecer el reloj y ponerlo de fabrica y me pide de nuevo el codigo del pago de la app, no lo encuentro por ningun  lado, tengo el justificante de pago.

  • Check your email. Please keep all payment related questions in the email, not here.

  • Great watch face, my favorite. Is it possible or will it be possible in the future to add the Hydration pro widget to it? I want to substitute the altitude meter for a hydration meter.
