Face watch automatically changes

Mine doe something similar. Sometimes the time and date it displays is not in the right place and the popup reminder at top is drawn over it and one can't see the time/date properly. I figured its some kind of "new feature" that needs some niggles iron'ed out?

yea, same here. when an activity or movement reminder pops up, in the background there is something like an AOD with time on the right (hours top, minutes bottom). Am using a 3rd party face.

I can't figure this AOD out anyway, even if the face claims to have it, i never see it. Which is good, cos i don't need it anyway.

I have found that a few developers have gotten this to work well but when emailing with them it sounds like it is a lot more work to fulfill the Garmin burn in protection requirements. (For folks that do want it.)

It's actually not that much extra work  I have it in all my watch faces for the venu/venu sq/venu2.

Just make sure on the watch under settings>system>display>not during activity, you have timeout set to "Always on" 

There is one of many threads about how to do this in the CIQ developer forums that was just started the other day with all the code needed to do this.  The basics are just a few lines of code, and the CIQ simulator makes this trivial to test.

Actually I forgot to mention that after the reminder disappears, the face watch goes back to the one I already sat. The face watch only changes for the few seconds during which the reminder pops up.

yeah that was it, thx.

I use the Lagom face, i find it exceptionally simple & straightforward. Highly recommended.
