Watchface: Analog Reversible

The VivoActive HR has very few round dial analog watchfaces, so this is my attempt to help remedy that.

https://apps.garmin.com/en-US/apps/48017054-adff-438f-b773-3bb61f1d63b4

Features include:

Round analog dial with status indicators in the corners of the screen
Battery gauge
Phone connection indicator
Alarms count
Notifications count
Steps and target steps readout
Date
Digital time

App settings are available for

Clockwise or counterclockwise operation
Military time format (no colon) when in 24 hr mode
Adjustable color for
- Background
- Dial numbers
- Hands
- Step count
- Date
  Digital time

There's already a todo list in the app description, so I won't repeat myself again. The main thing is that I just noticed that this app takes up more memory than any other app on my watch, so I'll try to bring that down. And I want to change the markers from a bitmap to something procedurally generated so that they can be easily changed- diameter, length, color, line weight, etc. Yeah, these two tasks might be mutually exclusive, so I'll get the latter done before trying to fix the former.

Love The face. Can you add a colour choice to the battery Indicator? I like the black background but then the battery amount disappears.

Good job for the rest.

Wow, what a rookie mistake.

Give me a while to see what I can do. I'll have to figure my way around the new version of the SDK.

Nice looking watch face. Similar to one I created for my pebble using an online watchface generator. Has all the info I want in one place. Problem I'm having is I really don't like black backgrounds on watch faces. Now I might be missing it (I'm still new to the Garmin) but the image you posted for the watchface has a white background and I can't figure out how to switch mine to white. Where do I go to set the background colors?

Thanks,
Chris

Yeah, I coded up a Pebble watchface too. I forget whether I submitted it anywhere or if I just installed it on my watch(es).

It should be in the configurable settings in ConnectMobile:

This is the first link I found, it looks about right, but I'm not sure if there's anything out of date in it.
I haven't tested in Garmin Express, I just learned that it's possible in the FAQ.

PS: New version up with more settings. You may need to delete the old version and reinstall if you have weird settings issues, though hopefully just updating the settings should fix things. It's hard to test these things in the simulator.

Sorry for the really long delay in fixing this problem. Ironically, I only got around to fixing it now because I bought a different watch.
