Watchface: Heliocentric

Thanks for downloading Heliocentric.

Whether you're an astronomy buff or not, this watchface can provide a unique perspective on things. In the solar system view, for example, when the earth is at the 12 o'clock position relative to the sun, it is the winter solstice. As Earth proceeds counterclockwise around the sun, the other seasons begin at 9, 6, and 3 o'clock.

Any feedback is welcome.

Version History

Known Issues
Watch face does not fully redraw after notification icons appear on the watch face - workaround is to swipe left/right

Hi, I tried to upload this watch face today on my Garmin 920xt & it loads it as far as the name is in my watch face list but it won't load up as in I select it but the original watch face that came with the device comes up & not this planet one!! I've tried uninstalling & reinstalling a few times but still the original watch face comes up! Any ideas why?

Stopped working

Last night the face stopped working. All I had was the base digital face

@jenniej11, @hlazar, please try version 1.51. I'm assuming that you updated your firmware on your Garmin watch and that version 1.5 was incompatible. If the new version doesn't work, please let me know what device you are running on and provide any other details related to what is wrong.

It works

1.51 works. Thanks

Unable to upload large files

I have the vivoactive and it's unable to upload long runs to my iPhone 6. Shorter runs uploads fine but longer runs (18-20+ miles) will stall out during upload. Finally realized the face repaints even if I'm not using the watch during a upload and that causes the upload to fail. Changed to a drake face and file uploads fine. I have v1.4. Haven't tried it with v1.5. Please fix or else I have to stop using this face. Thanks for your help.

Version 1.51 may help since I made some performance improvements in 1.5. That said, I may not be able to do much else as a ConnectIQ developer if the watch face is interfering with the upload. The face of all watch faces will repaint once a minute and I wouldn't expect this to interfere with the upload.

Thank you for the watchface!

I am really enjoying it!. Do you have any watchfaces or other plans for this one?

Sforzando over 10 years ago

You're Welcome

You are most welcome and I am glad you are enjoying the watch face. I have a few ideas but don't currently have plans to release other watch faces at this point. If you have any ideas please let me know. Thanks.

Hi there

Is there any chance you can adapt this for the epix?

Thanks
