- icons (sound alert/vibration/sleepMode/bluetooth)
- battery indicator
- Can switch the first-of-the-week (Sun/Mon)
- Can customize color of HH:MM (hour/min)

------------------------------
Supported Platform
------------------------------
Square-type watches with connectIQ 1.3.0 support
* Now I experimentally added support for most of round/semi-round watches and vivoactiveHR.
* Need HELP: I checked the layout with simulator but the simulator is known to be different in font size, so maybe the layout isn't fitted very well. If there's layout issue with your watch, please post the screenshot so that I can adjust.

Loving the watch face! I have the vivoactive, what exactly does the moon mean when it's showing and when it's not? I'm thinking it's sleep mode but what does that mean?

Hi,
It's based on this API:
http://developer.garmin.com/downloads/connect-iq/monkey-c/doc/Toybox/WatchUi/WatchFace.html
It appears when when the watch is in "sleep mode,", disappears when the watch is out ouf "sleep mode."

But it sounds like this "sleep mode" is power-saving mode. I'll investigate more about it.

You've made the best watchface so far! Can you program it to change the first day of the week depending on regional settings? (Mon)

I found there are two "sleep-mode": one is actually power-saving-mode and another is your-sleeping-mode.
I made a new version, in which the moon icon now indicates your-sleeping and another icon indicates power-saving state.

I tried to find out if there's any way to access the user's preference about first-day-of-the-week, but it seems there's no way at this point (I posted the question about this in CIQ forum and got the same answer: it's not supported yet).

As a tentative solution, I submitted the Monday-first version of the app. Probably it will take several days to be approved (I hope it will not be rejected), and once it's approved it should be available in the app store I think.

Time colors

I really like this watch face. Would it be possible in the future to add the ability to change the color of the hour and minute display

AM/PM flag on 24hr face

Hi,
I'm loving the face, don't get the meaning of all the tiny icons, but I do find the AM/PM indication an irritation on a 24hr face - 13:50 PM is meaningless. I know the world isn't universally comfortable with 24 hr, but surely if a user has selected that option they know what hours are AM and which are PM
