    Thanks for feedback and sorry you are having issues. Are you running the latest firmware for your device? Also, what device are you using? The last update I made to this release is to display icon if phone is connected. This is a new feature in SDK that may need a new firmware also.

    Thanks


    I am using 2.70. I have had problems with the 3.x releases, so I decided to stay put on the latest official firmware.

    Same here, Vivoactive, brand new, latest firmware
    starts building screen then reboots the device.
    Hope you find the bug
  • Thanks for the feedback guys and sorry for the issues. I now uploaded a more stable version that will now be compatible with the older firmware.

    I've been using the watch face for about a week with 3.07 now and I just have a couple comments. I think I have updated to the latest version, but Garmin Express doesn't seem to have any version info as far as I can see. So please forgive me if these are things you already noticed and fixed in 1.2. The first night I had it installed with FW 3.03 I lost 20% battery while sleeping and the notifications were not working after coming out of sleep mode. I almost didn't keep it but I do like the clean look and the battery percentage display. With FW 3.07 I have had not battery or BT issues.

    1) When the time is set to 12-hour format, at noon and midnight the hour is displayed as 00:XX instead of 12:XX.
    2) 4 digits are always shown but I kind of like that as it fills the display. (01:XX, 02:XX)
    3) Step percentage calculation is rounding up. I noticed this when I was approaching 100% and the default step counting page showed 99% (it was 99.6%) but the watch face showed 100%. Not that it is a big deal but it could be the difference between some one making their goal or not.
  • Thanks for detailed feeback and pointing out the errors. I will submit a new version 1.3 later today with the following changes:

    1. Currectly display middag value as 12 instead of 00.
    2. Fixed the rounding error for step progress percentage.

    I left the 4 digit display as it does help fill the layout. I have ported the same updates to the Carbon Black and gxWatch faces I developed.

    Cheers
