Watchface: Glance

I keep on loving the Pro version now :-) especially the thinner font, it is really the top now. One question: would it be possible to add the baro/pressure trend too ? The arrow I mean, it is more meaningful to me and I would replace the pressure in numers with some other things as well. Thanks again for your fantastic job.

I spent weeks reducing memory usage in Pro app, so it would work on all supported watches. Some features (including rounded steps) were removed. Sorry, there is no going back.

Yes, if someone can give me an official algorithm for calculating pressure trend. So far no one knows.

A very old question for which I was only able to suggest a linear regression algorithm...

Actually, the only information I could find on this is reported below (sorry but I'm not able to give the link to the original discussion):

Pressure Trend
shows the direction of change (higher, lower, steady) of the barometric pressure over the last three hours.

- "Rising Rapidly" is indicated if the pressure increases > 2 mb (0.06")
- "Rising Slowly" is indicated if the pressure increases >1 mb but < 2 mb (> 0.02" but < 0.06")
- "Steady" is indicated if the pressure changes < 1 mb (< 0.02")
- "Falling Slowly" is indicated if the pressure falls > 1 mb but < 2 mb (> 0.02" but < 0.06")
- "Falling Rapidly" is indicated when the pressure decreases > 2 mb (>0.06")

It might not be exactly what Garmin does to show a trend in the ABC widget, but it might be the way to go (certainly better than nothing). After all, the relevant results can be compared to what Garmin shows and adapted accordingly. Or, as another option, the threshold can be left as a user input in setting (sort of what Garmin does to set the storm alert, actually).

All the best

Thanks! Does it mention time period for the pressure change measurement?

Also, what is the trend in a scenario when over 2 hours the pressure is rising, but in last 15 min it is falling?

Concerning the time period, it is 3 hours.

Also, from the same discussion (I wish I could post the link), these guidelines are indicated as official:

"The following are official National Weather Service guidlines as defined by the weather glossary:

Pressure Falling Rapidly
A decrease in station pressure at a rate of 0.06 inch of mercury or more per hour which totals 0.02 inch or more.

Pressure Rising Rapidly
An increase in station pressure at a rate of 0.06 inch of mercury or more per hour which totals 0.02 inch or more.

Pressure Unsteady
A pressure that fluctuates by 0.03 inch of mercury or more from the mean pressure during the period of measurement."

I'm not sure what "which totals 0.02 inch or more" means exactly though.

Thanks. I might add the Pressure Trend indicator (based on this criteria) when I have time - no promises though.

Meanwhile, my Uneversal Widgets (both Pro and Light) have Pressure graph - you can quickly look at it an decide for yourself what the trend is:

Hi-Just installed Glance Watchface V. 2.06 for Garmin Epix2. I want to customize data fields but the watch only offers ‘Restore Colors’, ‘Save Current Colors’, and ‘Other Settings Use Connect App’ as customizing options. The Connect App tells me I can only make customization on the watch itself. Please advise. Thx

hi! for customization you have to install garmin connect IQ in your phone. You can configure and install apps and watchfaces from that app.

Aha! Did not know this. Just took a look and found the ‘Settings’ tab in IQ on the Glance Watchface page. Many thanks
