Garmin fenix 6x pro solar preinstalled watch face issue

On every picture showing Fenix 6x pro solar, there are minutes shown in orange color but in my watch face it's white and there is no way to change that to orange. Also when trying to modify watch face to add seconds, nothing happens. A bug in Garmin watch face? (SW 5.00 in use.)

This watch face? It doesn't have the red minutes on my watch face view.

Ho Chris, are you speaking about this?

It looks like in 5.00 two of the watch face layouts only support white hours and minutes. The others allow a choice of colour for minutes from the accent colour. I've only ever used 5.00 from day one so…

On my Solar running 5.00 some watch faces have orange minutes, some have white. Maybe it is something I changed with accent colour. I don't remember. Regarding seconds, you enter the seconds menu option and then press up/down to turn them on and off. Maybe not all watch faces support seconds. I have not checked.

It’s not a bug. As noted you can change the accents coloring in the settings for the watch face. Check through the settings properly.

What settings/watch face do I have to choose to get the solar charged minutes/hours as seen on some pictures? My Fenix 6x pro solar is running on SW 5.00 but I only have the watch face showing the line chart of recent 4 hours of solar charging

I'm referring to Garmin official site where fenix 6x pro solar digital watch face is shown (watch face with charging line and circle). It is having hours showing white and minutes orange. But at least in my watch there is no setting, accent or anything else to be able to change minutes from white to orange. I found the setting to show seconds however.

I've only ever used 5.00 from day one so I can't speak about earlier software. Personally I much prefer all white as it offers the best contrast and visibility IMHO.

I agree that white is having good contrast but still, if orange is shown in Garmin official pages, I would like to have an option to change the color to orange too and this feels like a bug

I have requested the same, but still no changes.

Has anyone found out how to change the watch face? It even shows the "red minutes" in the 6X Pro package, but none of the standard watch faces allow that option with the 6 additional data fields.

Hold down your middle left button > Select Watch Face > the face with the red minutes is 3-4 watch faces down.
