Hi,
Sorry for the dumb question. I have 2.64 firmware on my 920XT. I download the watch face from the Connect IQ store, and "send it to my device". The sync completes successfully.
But I do not see the new watchface in the clock face settings. I have Digital (default), and Connect IQ options. When I select Connect IQ I get the message "Download from the Connect IQ store".
Am I missing a step somewhere?

Cheers
Robby.

I opened a case on my watch with garmin about the beta not taking any IQ items and came home one day and it worked correctly with no changes on my part and they have no idea why it started working

When working Correctly with the watch in the dock you just click on the item and it goes directly to the watch and you can then select the items after removing the watch and going through the select steps

All the apps will be in the app folder on the watch if they went that far

Nothing in the APPS folder.
When I click "Send to device", the Garmin express program comes up and does a "sync" in response. So it looks like it is doing the right thing. But nothing appears to be transferred. Have tried it with both Explorer and Chrome.
Am lost here. Would really like to get this watch face working. Certainly worth a donation if it does!
Cheers
Rob.

v0.12 is out. Please see the first post for details. Thanks for the feedback and suggestions. Please keep 'em coming and please don't forgot to donate if you like BigTime :-)

BigTime is now my daily watch face :)

if not already asked
could u use or show the color or icon from the current activity profile in use on BigTime ?
starting an activity you know at forehand which activity you are in (color or icon)

on the FR620 when you do not choose a watch face color, only the battery indicator is colored the same as the activity profile color

Garmin have been asked, I believe, to add this option to connectiq, if they do then I will add an icon or colour to denote the mode in the watch face somehow.

Thanks for the new version, which is always better and better :D. I like the new blue color for the date and some color in the watchface. What do you think about to change the date at satuarday and sunday in red color like in calendars?

Kind regards, Kuki

Hi

I made a small donation. I appreciate the obvious work you put into this and it is by far the only face I use. Hopefully once Garmin sorts out other things like color and what not, it will be even better. DO you happen to know if you can pull stuff from GC like weekly goals (run miles or swim yardage completed and the goal for the week)? I imagine this is difficult. Thanks again, I look forward to what else you do!

Thank you, it's very much appreciated! At the moment there is no access to this data in the watch face API. I'll can ask Garmin to add it. What is the GC by the way?
