Nice apps and watchfaces for Instinct 2

Hello,

I think it would be good to share info about interesting stuff for Instinct 2.

Recently I was looking for good replacement of standard watchface. DC Rainmaker in one of his video clips recommended this one:

Looks very nice, has two charts, but it has limited options to display. It seems it is not updated for some time

Today I found this one:

We’re talking about screen size on pixels not the watch size. Both have screen 176x176px. Watch size doesn’t matter.

There is not. A watch face developer creates different sized watch faces in order for it to work on other size Instinct 2 series watches. IE: For the smallest size Instinct 2S, middle size Instinct 2, or for the largest size Instinct 2X.

See my earlier reply. You could always recreate it using the garmin watch face online builder. Might use little bit more battery.

But from what I can see, all Garmin Instinct 2S/2/2X have the same screen size 176x176. So why there's no way to use watchface from 2X on 2 or 2S watch?

2s has 156 x 156 !

And do they all have the same processor performance?
