I love being able to read the time without my glasses! The colored bars let me know (without glasses) how close to my step goal I am. How long I've been inactive. Whether I'm connected to my phone. Also, battery life!
Awesome use of screen real estate!
This is my daily watch face, and I've been real happy with it.

Just a FYI:

Vivoactive 2.90. Running BigTime and the Garmin World Clock widget. Watch rebooted x3 today and lost step count with each reboot.

What's coming with the next version of SDK and 4.06 Beta? Are there any improvements of the BigTime Watch Face?

The new firmware wont add any additional stuff as far as BigTime is concerned as far as I know. If new cool stuff is added to the SDK then yes will add to BigTime.

Are there any ways to make the watch screen a bit snappier? I've noticed a slightly longer delay when using BigTime on my vivoactive than the original watch screen. I assume it's because it needs to pull more data than the original.

Other than that, it looks awesome!

First, i want to say i really like BigTime. Its my #1 choice for my 920xt. (4.20 firmware)
As a developer i can really relate to the amount of work that you put into this, -- you're doing a great job with the Watchface.

The only thing i noticed was that the fonts does not seem so crisp on my 920. The clock itself is fine, but the (text) "kcal", "km", and (numbers) for stepcount, kilocalories and distance seem wrongly drawn.
Other faces, e.g. Actiface (which i dont use) seem to use better fonts for numbers.

I don't expect this to be fixed, but i just wanted to mention it.
Thanks again!

Correct. v1.2 of the SDK will add new cool features I'm told by Garmin, once they release it around Sept I'll add the new features in BigTime.

At present there is NOTHING I can add to BigTime, I've run out of cool stuff available!

Ask Garmin. When they release the cool new features I'll add to BigTime.
