I think it might be better to have the tones/vibrate/sleep (and hopefully coming soon) alarm icons OFF if a setting is off rather than light grey for off and green for on.

+1! I like that idea.

This is an Awesome Watch Face. As [email][email protected][/email] mentioned, I like all the data that is displayed.

Suggestions:

I liked how the Date was a different color. It broke up the visual display to help focus on either the Time or the Steps more easily.
Is there a way to not display the leading Zero if time is in 12 hour? (don't know if that has been requested). When looking at it, it keeps throwing me off thinking that I am in 24 hour mode compared to 12 hour.
This might be a stretch, but on the Digital face, the watch could use "User Profile Color". It then changes the Hours to be the color that the Activity Profile was set to before entering into Low Power Mode. Does the CIQ allow access to that setting?

I think you might be right, but finding a colour everyone likes it tricky so was waiting till Gamin allow us developers to have a pick list when in watch face mode for colours. Its a balancing act but will try and find a solution

Done, coming in next release. As are "AM" and "PM".

No. Not at present, but Garmin are thinking about it.

Thanks for all your feedback and don't forget to donate (if you haven't) ;-)

Maybe a round version to :)

Hi, sorry there are no plans at present for a round version, mainly because there is less real estate on the round watch and therefore not enough room to display everything.

I could offer a cut down version for round watches but it would be a new watch face.

sound fair enough...

There is actually more pixels on the F3 display than the other square watches... :)

square: 205x148 = 30.340 pixels.
F3: 218x218 ... (218/2)^2 * PI = 37.325 pixels. :)

HI all,

I really like this watch face, but I have few questions/suggestions
1) Wouldn't it be possible to present the remaining recovery time on the face? I believe it would be very useful. I would prefer it much more than calories or any other data that is visible on the next screen.
2) Don't you thing that the "inactivity bar" should be kind of similar to the original one? I mean at least in the scale, as the 1st bar should be half of the screen (as it represents 1h and the next bars are for 15mins)
