Do you like simplicity, reversibility or inversion? Me yes ;-) and this watch face was built for you too.

You can find standard data, configurable and PREMIUM data fields.

If you will have any issues please contact me directly and I will try to help you first before you leave negative comment or lower rating.

Watchface was tested in simulator without problems also on Vivoactive HR & Fenix 5 - if you have problems you should try: check if you have free space, reinstall WF, reboot watches.. contact Garmin support ;-)

Try normal version before you ask for PREMIUM DATA UNLOCK:
Premium additional data - Heart rate, Altitude, Battery & Notification count jus

IMPORTANT COMPATIBILITY NOTE:

-Fenix 5 watches - in watchface settings don't forget to ENABLE F5 compatibility checkbox
-Forerunner watches - you are able to display 5 DATA FIELDS ONLY! 6th data field needs to be DISABLED! (to show correct layout)

Nice work - but problem with sunrise/sunset and daylight savings time

Nice work; visually very appealing :-)

But it seems sunrise and sunset times don't account for daylight saving time and thus are currently one hour early for me.

Additionally I would appreciate an indicator icon for pending alarms.

Hello, thanks for feedback.
Sunset / Sunrise algorithm is ok to show correct Sunrise/Sunset on your watch you need to update your GPS location.
For example you need to start activity with GPS - running, wait for GPS and you can discard it. It should work.

its not appearing in the IQ side of my forerunner 235

After choosing the watchface and syncronizing with my FR235 I can not select it in the menue of my watch.
Also other watch faces are not visible any more?!
I am not sure if its your app or the watch itself which is not compartible?
Thanks for your help!
