Watchface: Ranger

"Ranger" is a simple, and super-crisp watchface — custom made for the fenix5 series of watches (oh, and the 935).
It's my homage for any adventurer who's ever worn a Ranger.

Get it here;

The watchface looks as sharp as a native watchface, as every element is fully anti-aliased.
This release is currently only for the fenix5, f5x, and 935. The f5s and chronos versions are coming soon!

You can customise the colours, and the goals aligned to the 'power-meter' (battery remaining, steps, floors, activity minutes).

It uses a technique I developed — read a bit more about it here (https://forums.garmin.com/showthread.php?342446-Toybox-Graphics-Dc-getPoint-or-getPixel-or-readPixel&p=965090#post965090).

Interested to see what you all think of it.

I really like its simplicity and clearness, but please consider adding a concealed feature for new notifications, like coloring the circle in the center where the hands meet. Thanks

The looks are superb. I hope you'll consider also porting it to the semi-round devices so that I can try it on my fr735xt. :)

Clean, clear, crisp! It looks amazing on my F6X!

Any possible way to hide the fine minute ticks around the very outside since the F6X Sapphire has them already ? This would allow you to scale the hour ticks and rest of the watchface up by a few % to make it even bigger and brighter.

After a recent update, seems like the step count gague is stuck at 50% or so. This is on vivoactive 3. Hope you can fix it, I love this face.

I noticed the last step count gauge is stuck after a recent update. This is on vivoactive 3. Do you have any advice? I love the face and would like to keep using it!

I really like this watchface, crisp and just the needed information, congrats to that.

One minor improvment in my opinion would be a always on second hand.

Fantastic watch face, works well in all aspects. As mentioned in my review, if you could add a few more colours to match my 945 bands (and an optional second hand) I will happily buy you a few beers.

Keep up the fantastic work!

Tried to download for Fenix 6x Pro and Garmin Express says This app requires an update of your fenix 6x Pro / Sapphire. Please use Garmin Express to update your fenix 6x Pro / Sapphire. I have ver 5.0, no updates show as pending or needed.

The watch face is great.

My Vivoactive 4S now displays a black screen but all other watch faces work normally. Uninstalling and reinstalling doesn’t resolve this issue. Any idea on how to troubleshoot?

Thanks in advance!
