FR 955 Stock watchface numbers

Would be possible to add an option to select full colored numbers rather than just the shape with black inside? It would help a lot of people.

Watchface itself looks solid, but sometimes, specially indoors, it is pretty hard to read!

  • There is stock watch faces that have solid numbers and doesn't have those annoying hands :D Just change the watch face if you don't feel the default is good.

  • There's a ton of watch faces in ConnectIQ, most of them very configurable.  Simply download whichever one looks right for you.

  • Other watchfaces are not interactive, which is why I use stock one! I don’t mind about hands, but also about that garmin should give the opportunity to select if you want them or not. Sweat smile

  • I know that, but you might be aware that stock watchfaces are way better in terms of battery draining. 

  • Probably depends on the data being shown.  My Glance Pro watch face lasts for a week or more without needing a charge and that's with running 4 times a week with all of the GPS turned on and an external sensor.

  • i agree that the default watch face would be better if it were more configurable. as you suggest, it's not very practical in low light with the outlined numbers. i personally think they did a much better job (as usual) with the Fenix 7 watch faces which combine digital/analog. some of the digital stock faces are fine, but there is zero interactivity using touch.

    also, more disappointing, the touch interface on the stock face (analog/digital combo0 seems half baked for this in comparison to the factory watch faces supplied on the Fenix 7/Epix2.

    as notes, there are a ton of efficient ConnectIQ watch faces out there are that very efficient on the battery. i haven't always found that to be the case for Connect IQ, but some developers have done a great job of being as efficient or more efficient than Garmin themselves.

    depending on whether you want analog or digital, i'm sure people here can suggest some favorites that are reasonably efficient battery wise.

    i too would love to see Garmin provide updates to the default watch faces, but i've never seen that happen for any of the previous Forerunner watches i've owned (735XT, 935, 945LTE)

  • what kind of battery consumption are you seeing with Glance Pro?  it's one of my favorite watch faces, but with 1hz (always on) seconds, i don't find it as miserly as a couple others i rotate between. without seconds always on, i see 6-7%/day, but it seems its probably closer to 9%/day with seconds always on. (although i confess: i never leave it on long enough to get enough reasonably reliable statistics)

    (i don't always need seconds on, but it's helpful when i'm doing a lot of rehab stretching and exercises where seeing the seconds is very helpful. (i count way too fast in my head :) )

    [i get closer to 5-6%/day consumption with Coros Apex Like and Minimum Vertical 2 with them showing seconds always on]

  • I really like the stock watch face.

    I agree there should be more options to configure.

  • Eu não entendo por que o cara principal tem digital com esses ponteiros que são inúteis. Alias só atrapalham ver os dados.

  • I've not really tracked the battery usage of Glance Pro I'm afraid.  It lasts for more than a few days, so I'm happy with that.  I disabled the seconds counter because it was a bit of a distraction for me.  I always have access to power, so battery life from one charge to the next isn't really a conscious concern for me.  I'm just glad I don't have to put it on charge every night.
