Watch face with sunrise/sunset time - GPS positioning automatically

Former Member over 7 years ago

I'm looking for watch face with big electronical watch, battery indicator (% pref.), date, steps, hearth rate and sunrise/sunset time.
Found: https://apps.garmin.com/pl-PL/apps/975a3857-564d-4687-8a29-1717ce295d39#0
but this face need manual GPS switching (in activity mode) to check GPS position and receive correct sunrise/sunset time. Is there any app that use GPS automatically?
Fields numbers and types modification gladly welcome.
Thank's for any help

The way that watchfaces work, they get the GPS location from the last activity and use that for sunrise/sunset. They will cache that location in the event that there hasn't been a recent GPS activity.

CIQ Watch faces themselves can not start up GPS. If you need info for your exact location at a given time, that can be done with a CIQ watch app, widget, or data field, as those can access real-time (every second) GPS data.

Unless you have significantly changed location (by a couple of hundred km's), your last location should be fine for sunset/sunrise times. Jim's post above notes the watch automatically caches the last known GPS location.

You can manually save a location through the controls menu (top left button), rather than having to start an activity. The watch will then use this location for sunset/sunrise times, localized weather, etc.

GPS is one of the biggest power hogs on the watch, so to maximize battery life, the watch does not allow CIQ watch faces to activate GPS.

You can also use the “Set time with GPS” item in the controls menu. This will adjust location, time and sunrise/sunset and is very quick.
