The screen is divided in 6 fields, which can each be assigned a dataset to display, there's 14(+1) different datasets to choose from:
Digital Hour, Digital Minute, Large Digital Hour (spanning 4 fields instead of 1), Large Digital Minute (also spanning 4 fields), Analog Clock, Large Analog Clock (spanning 4 fields), Large Analog Clock with additional info (Steps, goal, battery%, spanning 4 fields), Steps-Move Graph, Additional step info, Date, Device Info, Date-Device info, Battery Gauge, Sunrise-Sunset Times, Empty (this is the +1, obviously).

Hi Nick,

Can you have a look at why it shows "mi" instead of the actual distance traveled so far on the Steps Info field?

My watch is running BYOD 1.2

Two small issues on Vivoactive HR GPS

Hi, first congrats, great app.
On my Vivoative HR GPS got 2 little issues:
1. When displaying the field with Target Steps, Calories and Distance the field distance is blank, just show the unit of measure
2. When display Date the day and month overlap. Date and Device info works fine instead

I've heard of this, apparently the info is indeed not updated, I have not experienced myself but will investigate this weekend.

Thanks a lot!
Like said above, I will check on the info this weekend.
As I do not have an HR myselfm I'm using the emulator, but I'll see what I can do to fix the date showing up wrong, should be a small fix, will do it this weekend also.

Apart from that, sunrise/set times seem to be completely off.
Or I'm taking it out until I find the cure, or I try to fix it this weekend.
Seems strange since I myself never experienced this behaviour, the default GPS was my location though, so that might make a difference.

Would be great to see this compatible with the fenix 3 :-)

Sunrise / Sunset times

Hi Nick

I am really liking this watch face but still having trouble with sunrise / sunset.
Watch is VA with 3.4 fw, and its v1.2 of the watchface.
I have tried getting a GPS lock to see if that corrects the issue but seems to make no difference.
I'm in Melbourne Australia so GMT + 11 summer time and the sunrise reports 20:51 (should be 05:51), sunset 11:22 (should be 20:21) both as reported when i add those fields onto an activity.

Any thoughts?

Sunset and Sunrise times not working

I own a vivoactive hr. For some reason, the sunset and sunrise times displayed on the watch are very different compared to websites on my computer and phone. Any way to fix this besides turning on the GPS to find a location? (already tried that) ( I live in NJ)

Sunrise/Sunset Not Working + Another Question

Nice watch face, but I have one issue and one question.

I have a Vivoactive at 4.30.

The issue: sunrise/sunset is not working for me on 1.2. I followed the advice to start an activity that requires GPS (a walk, for example), then return to the watchface. The watchface currently shows sunrise of 15:09 (should be 07:09) and sunset at 24:59 (should be 16:59). I've tried multiple power on/off, uninstall/reinstall, and activities. Occasionally, it shows 09:30 for sunrise, then reverts to 15:09. What should I try next?

Question: what are the fields in the "Additional step info"? The first appears to be step goal, second appears to be steps but doesn't match the steps-move graph, and the third appears to be distance traveled but it is blank.

I also use another watchface that seems to have all these fields displayed correctly, so it's not a configuration issue.

Thanks!!

Great watch face, just trying to figure out the sunrise/sunset

I love the watch face and being able to configure it will make it even more fun.

I tried several ways to get the sunrise time right -- the minutes are correct for my location, but the hour is +7. I'm on the US east coast. Any suggestions?

Thanks.
