    I like this ...

    Version 1.5 of 'Simplicity: Roman' released, added support for the D2 Bravo:


    Nice, very good. VERY GOOD.

    I do not need the second hand at all. Just a clean face.
    If you, for some reasson, added it to the watch ( every second ) please make it an option.

    Question : How do I make the the face change from just "lines each 5 minutes" ( the first 2 secreens on the left) to "lines each minute" ( the 2 first on the right) ?

    As soon as Garmin provides support for user settings I will add the possibility to disable seconds, add minute markers and so on. I will possibly add some color options as well. I use red five minute markers on my own grey Fenix, and that looks really good on that watch. On the D2 I think the face would look good without any markers at all.

    But as I said initially, this is not currently possible due to lack of support in the API.

    As for the minute markers on the images on the right, they are part of the physical bezel on the watch itself.

    Minute Markers

    I downloaded the latest version. I can see the roman numerals along with the 5 minute markers. What is not visible are the minute markers. Can you please advise. Thank you.

    The watchface shows 5 minute markers only. Any one minute markers in the screenshots are physical markers on the watches themselves.

    NEW:
    Simplicity: Roman now supports user settings for fenix 3 running firmware version 5.0 or higher :)
    Available settings:
    • 5 minute markers on/off
    • Battery Status on Gesture on/off
    • Bluetooth Off Warning on/off
    • Red or white 5 minute markers

    I recommend red markers on the grey fenix 3 and white on the silver fenix 3. Default is no markers, simply because that looks best on the D2 Bravo, and user settings are not supported on that watch yet.

    User settings are edited either in Garmin Express or Garmin Connect Mobile.

    In Garmin Connect Mobile go to Devices ->fenix 3 -> Connect IQ Apps -> Watch Faces -> Simplicity Roman.
    Then select Settings, and select your values. Finally press Done.

    Changes should be visible on the watch after a few seconds.

    Yes, I'll add 1-minute markers in the next update.
    I didn't think they were necessary on the fenix and D2, but I can see they may be useful on the Forerunners.
