    Hi, here you go. If you need anything further - let me know.

    Thanks



    Not sure what has happened but after plugging the watch in, it seems to have updated your app I believe - it's now working as it should which is great.

    Thanks

    Have you tried to reboot the watch (power off and on)?

    You could also try and connect it to a computer and remove the prg files as well as any SET and STR files. Just take note that it is not easy to identify which belong to NoFrills, so if you have other CIQ apps installed, backup these files first so you can restore them later.

    Delete the PRG files in
    <USB DRIVE>\GARMIN\APPS\

    Delete the STR and SET files in
    <USB DRIVE>\GARMIN\APPS\DATA
    <USB DRIVE>\GARMIN\APPS\SETTINGS

    Then restart the watch and try to install NoFrills again.

    Thanks! deleting those files seemed to have done the trick. Have gotten it to work again after reinstalling- Glad to have this watch face again. Couldn't stand the stock. Keep up the great work!

    Hey there. Registered on the forums just to post this!

    First - thanks for the great watchface! I've tried them all and NoFrills is the the best, by far, both looks and functionality wise!

    I have two asks which will make this watchface even greater, though I'm not sure if they're even possible (without impacting battery life or sacrificing something else):

    1) I don't need to see the battery and/or battery % all the time. My Fenix 5s goes for 9 or more days, so I prefer not to see the battery and I already do this with NoFrills by simply making the battery % the same color as the background color. I would like to see when the battery falls below certain % though, so if there was an option to set a threshold where the battery pops up in red - it would be perfect. Even if it's not customizable, putting the battery icon in red on the watchface once battery falls below 10% would be awesome.

    2) A calendar icon on the watchface if there is a calendar event for the current day

    Those are kinda small features that will make an already great watchface - even better.

    Thanks for hearing me out!

    HermoT - any chance the calendar icon and/or the battery popping up at certain percentage will happen on this awesome watchface?

    Your request #1 sounds possible. I will add your request to the backlog.
    Request #2 is not possible as the Garmin framework does not expose that information to ConnectIQ apps.

    Sorry for the late reply!

    Hello,

    Seems after updating to the latest firmware my watch has stopped showing my step progress. The Time no longer fills up and the steps are not displayed below.
