Stock watch face - data fields

Hi all,

The date located above the minutes - is it not possible to change to Month/Day (or Day/Month) or can't that be changed at all?

What's the data field at 4 o'clock showing?

The Batt. at 6 o'clock -I can change that, bit I'd rather have it show % - is that not possible?

I'm new to Garmin watches and I have only have this (6x Sapphire) for two weeks (I have no blueish background - black is pretty much black - and backlighting is at 100% in case anyone should ask).

Thanks

Peter

I don't think it is possible to edit the date format above the minutes..

The datafield at 4 o'clock is the forecast high and low temperatures for the day.

Battery Percentages can be found at Power Manager> Battery Percentage = On AND Battery Estimates = Off.

Also, backlight can be a power hog (depending on settings) - each 10% of backlight uses about 1.5% of battery per hour. 100% is way overkill for most conditions, and would drain 15% of battery per hour - I find 5% or 10% does fine, and gives much better battery life.

Thanks mcalista.

As for the batt% I do have that enabled under Power Manager. But the data field to shoe percentage and not days, seems to not exist. Maybe that's just how it is.

I know a 100 will drain batt faster, but I'm fine with that. It only lights up with gesture :-)

Just double checked, and you are right. You do need to have Battery Estimates = Off in the Power Manager as well. Have edited my post to reflect this.
