Further details may be found on the Segment store page.

    I have also had a similar request regarding which items are displayed at the bottom. I'm considering making each position (corners on the VA) configurable, but will have to test whether or not this negatively impacts performance. Unfortunately I've been very busy recently, so I'm not sure when I might get a chance to look at this.

    The segment font was hand-built by myself for display of the time, as such it can only be used to display digits, the colon separator and AM/PM indicators. To render the date in a segment font would be a considerable amount of work due to the following:

    • The numbers would need to be recreated at an appropriate scale.
    • Since the date can be configured to display day and month names I would have to produce characters for the alphabet too (capitals and lowercase).
    • Garmin watches are multilingual so the font would also have to contain additional character sets (not just standard ASCII).


    This would increase memory usage and potentially reduce performance of the watchface. Sorry, but for these reasons I'm afraid I will be sticking with the Garmin provided font.

    I see... well if there are practical reasons then I will live with it.

    Perhaps you could add option too chose some other colors for the font and background if that is easily doable?
  • I would like to thank you for this watch face. Very easy to read time in monochrome and a battery sipper. Has been my daily driver for weeks, now.

    I wonder if it would be possible to increase the font size of the activity display on the bottom, for Fenix 3/HR? Even with my cheaters, it's a bit hard to read at times :D

    I believe that the next font size up available on the device is the same as that used for rendering the date therefore it may be too big to fit.
    I will take a look when I next get time to work on Segment and see if it's something I can make configurable.

    I uploaded a new version last night that attempts to provide an increase in font size for all of the additional information in the corners. It may end up causing overlapping to occur, I'm not sure.
    Plus I don't really know how well it will work across other physical devices (tried to make it look okay in the simulator).
    Let me know if that works for you?

    At another user's request I have also added a US date format.

    Just installed the update and it's perfect (F3HR). Thanks very much for adding that.
  • This is my best watchface of all the time. Still using it since beginning :D

    But i have a problem for a while. After disconnecting my epix from PC it looses all settings and sunrise data :( I had to configure it via phone all the time :(

    I have uninstalled it, reset watch and than reinstalled. Still the same problem.

    Where i should search for the problem? My two PCs, watch, software on PCs (basecamp/garmin express) or?
  • Mike,

    Glad to hear you're still using it! There haven't been any updates to it in some time now - anything I might add would just increase the power usage and I'm happy the way it is.
    Since there have been no changes to the watchface it would suggest that something is going on with your firmware or the software on the PC so I'm not sure I can help you with that!

    Regards,
