    Can't get watch face

    Hi,

    Just got my vivoactive HR yesterday, but can't seem to download this watch face. My device updated, then in the Connect IQ store it said I needed to update via Garmin connect to get the face. So I downloaded Garmin Connect and fully updated by device via USB, yet even online (computer, not on my phone) I get the same prompt that I need to update my device to get this face. Any thoughts?

    Thanks!

    Please see the answer 3 posts earlier.
  • I also would like to see altitude or sunset/sunrise time. I think we could use the space of HR for watch without it or as an alternative

  • Hi,

    How can I switch the clock to 24 hours mode?

    Thanks!

    Just change the clock format in the settings on the watch.
    Settings -> System -> Clock -> Format

    The watch face adjusts according to this setting.

    Hi,

    I'm using NoFrills as my main watchface on my 235 since I bought the watch! Thanks a lot for this awesome work!! :D

    I don't know if I missed it and this issue has been reported on other messages, but the option for using different colors for hours and minutes never worked on my 235.
    When I enable it, it only uses the color selected for the hours.

    Is this a known issue?

    Thanks a lot and keep the hard work up!!!

    It works perfectly. Just ensure that you have restarted your watch by switching it off and back on.
    Sometimes when upgrading from an older version to a new version, the new features do not show or become active until a reboot.

    Make sure that the setting

    is checked / ticked.

    Please try an uninstall and a clean reinstall if it still does not work.

    Thanks a lot for your answer. I tried everything you mentioned here but it still does not work for me.

    Please try an uninstall and a clean reinstall if it still does not work.


    Unfortunately, I don want to lose all the different configuration I have, so reinstalling is not an option now.
    Anyway, if one day I reinstall it I will let you known if it worked or not :)

    Thanks again!! seriously you are doing a great job!!!

    Hi HermoT,

    I love your watch face! Thank you very much for the time and effort you put into it. Very much appreciated!

    Would it be possible to display the remaining steps instead of the step counter or the distance / calories?

    Personally I would love something as simple as "-500" if there are 500 steps missing.
