Watchface: Glance

MobileDriveway

NEWS UPDATE:

HANDY IQ:

BIG EASY IQ:

EASY+:

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):

apps.garmin.com/.../9a619d99-3e5b-4eec-81e7-006655d797cc

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!

    Glance ultra is mine if at all possible! thanks so much

    Done - Glance Ultra v1.34. It might take some time to be available to all users.

    Thank you so much I see it! Purchasing now!

  • Am I understanding correctly that HANDY IQ is the latest version and includes all the features of EASY+, meaning it can be configured to look the same, but HANDY IQ can also display an analogue watch face?

    I've been using EASY Round so far, but after upgrading to the Fenix 9, I'd like to replace it. Both cost €6, so I'm not quite sure what the difference is or why I'd choose one over the other.

    You understand correctly - HANDY IQ is an analog extension of EASY+. If you don't see yourself ever using analog mode, you can stick with EASY+, the settings will be less complicated and controls easier. Otherwise HANDY IQ is much better value for the money - I recommend it over EASY+ 100%!

  • This is one I made from the logo colours of the business I used to manage, the blend of dark and light grey with the musty pink pops off the AMOLED

    Nice!

  • I miss these features for "Easy round" watch face:

    -display steps in K when more than 10K

    -update heath rate every second

    Easy round is my second best WF - after Glance. Thanks for them!

  • When I choose the Alarm count field on Big Easy and push and hold the alarm count field, suggested exercise is shown on the screen and not alarms.

    Yes, these features are missing. Rounding steps to K preserved steps icon in Glance, but EASY Round doesn't have this problem. Heart rate updates in sleep mode were a problem when combined with seconds - it could have caused Garmin to restrict these updates, so I chose not to implement it in the latest app versions.

    It shows Calendar (suggested exercise is often the only thing there). Garmin doesn't have Alarm complication, so it is impossible to launch it - calendar is the closest thing to time available.
