Do you mean the dashes on each side of the time? If so they are the data bars and can be selected to display several things. They can also be selected to be solid instead of dashes, and you can change their colors (the background is the goal or 100% and the foreground is current status). As an example, if you choose a red background and green foreground - and choose battery percentage - then if your battery is 100% charged, the bar will be all green - if 50% charged the bar will be half green and half red - if 5% charged the bar will be almost all red.
Just downloaded this great watch face however there seems to be no option to customize it. I have Vivo4 when I go to watch face menu there is no edit icon and swiping up doesn't work. I am new to the Vivo 4 but have had a vivo1 for years. is there a different way to customize the fields on this watch?
With most CIQ apps, you do the customization on your phone or with Garmin Express.
