I love this watch face. I installed it on day one, but I have a question. I haven't set Garmin Express to auto install updates. How do I know when their is an update. Can I check the version manually on the phone? If I want to update the app can I do that from the phone or do you have to re upload the application from the store?

I love this watchface - it gives me much more info than the default digital face but without cluttering the screen as some others do. I've only been using it for less than a day but I've noticed some funny behavior in the movement bar. When I haven't moved for some time, the red bar shows up as it is supposed to. However, as I move around, the bar remains there and then suddenly disappears, rather than flashing individual segments as I "work them down" before finally disappearing. Is it possible to replicate the default movement bar functionality in this way?

Awesome watch face, thank you!!!
One question regarding the Czech characters - the font used for showing date (day of week & month) obviously does not support czech characters (like "čtvrtek" which stands for "thursday"). These characters are left out (showing just "t" instead of "Čt" or "Ct" for the thursday example). Is it possible to add support for the czech characters or at least to replace them with corresponding character (like "č" -> "c")?

Love this watch and have been using it on my vivo active since I got it. But have a had an issue since the last update. My device keeps rebooting when I use this watch face. Other then that it's an awesome watch and I have still been using it even tho it's rebooting every half hour or so lol. If I can provide and assistance like crash logs (if the device produces any) I would be be more then happy to provide them or even test new beta builds and provide feedback just let me know.

This type of functionality is not exposed, at present, to us developers by Garmin. If Garmin ever add it then sure I will add it to BigTime. Why not request it direct to Garmin?

This is a limitation of connectiq/firmware etc. Once Garmin add this functionality, I will add it. Yes you have to upload a new version via the computer.

I'd be glad to - what's the best way to do so?

I just downloaded this Watch Face and it's great! I do have one issue. It's only displaying all the data in black and white. Shouldn't there be color? Am I missing some setting? If so, please tell me so i can mitigate my issue. Thanks! :)
