I think the Garmin logo on the watch-face and the Garman logo on the watch itself are a bit redundant based on your picture. Removing it from the watchface would make it a bit cleaner.
The Garmin logo looks ok on my Fenix 3 because as mentioned the physical logos is at the bottom.
More importantly though there is seemingly a bug with your blue second hand. It is visible for 6 or 7 seconds, then freezes for several seconds before disappearing altogether! Changing widgets and returning to clock brings the second hand back again temporarily. I do like the look of it BTW. Nice job.
Thanks for the feedback! I have coded the second like when the watch is in normal mode it shows there. Sorry for being too technical here bu according to Garmin documentation in this mode the OnUpdate() function runs every second, so everybody assumes that second hand will be drawn every second. When the watch goes to low power mode then I coded the second hand to disappear. It works fine in simulator... I have seen several other such problems with similar coding of second hand, people complaining about same behavior... Unfortunately I do not have the watch yet so cannot try. I can remove the second hand completely for you if you want, but that is not the same without that nice blue hand ;)
Also according to the docs when you move the watch around it should come out of low power mode so you should be able to see the second hand again. Do you? Or that does not work either?
@Tamas: You've designed your watch face properly. :)
The behavior of the second hand described by Ticka is by design. Connect IQ was initially built to only update watch faces once per minute in order to ensure long battery life, but we made sleep/wake features available, along with gesture support as a compromise since people were interested in seeing a second hand. The idea is that watch face elements, such as a second hand, can be temporarily displayed and updated once per second when the watch is raised to check the time (the watch enters a normal power mode state for a few seconds). Then, the device returns to a lower power mode and those elements disappear until needed again.
The native watch faces are not Connect IQ apps and are run at a lower level that involves some engineering gymnastics that allow the second hand/counter to persist without draining the battery quickly.
Oh I see now. That works. I have to raise the watch vertically about a foot to make the second hand re appear. My preference would be for the watch to stay out of low power mode for little longer though as the second had dissappears very quickly.
@Ticka We've discussed tweaking the timeout before, or perhaps making it user-configurable. I wouldn't expect this to be a change in the short-term, but we might relax the enter/exit sleep timings in the future as Connect IQ and the hardware that uses it matures.
