NEW FEATURE: You can now cycle though the Aviator watch face presets on the fly using the new QuickChange feature. Read the "Whats New" section to see how! I find I am using this feature all the time. I think you will really like it.

Apologies: This watch face is a big download (and just got a bit bigger) It will take around 10 minutes to download via bluetooth, updating your watch while connected to a computer is much faster. I do not like this and I have a few ideas how to shrink it, but until then please enjoy it as is.

A handsome Aviator style watch face reminiscent of an analog altimeter. This bold watch face has large highly visible hands that help reading the time in dim light. It turns out that sometimes simple is better. Containing an unobtrusive step counter and battery meter that don't get in the way, this clean watch face has simple down cold.
The red and white triangle indicates steps, once around reaches your step goal. The red triangle indicates the battery charge, 12:00 is 100%(full) counterclockwise to 6:00 is 0% (empty).
The Yellow triangle is the GMT time, on some faces you will find a yellow pointer to help you find it quickly. The color inside of the triangle indicates AM/PM, white for AM and black for PM. The Green Diamond is a local time setting, the color inside indicates AM/PM in the same way as the GMT triangle. The Green text is a place to remind yourself what the local time zone is indicating. It can be any text you want. I use a city code, but you could spell out a city, use the actual time differential, use a word like HOME, or use a name. The local time zone will not adjust for DST.
You can now cycle through the Aviator preset watchfaces, including your custom colored watchface, without needing to be online or using the ConnectIQ app. To do this, cycle to your widgets (up/down buttons) and back -- twice in under 3 seconds. the second time you return to your watch screen it will be set to the next preset watchface in the sequence. You may continue to cycle up and down and the watchface will change each time. (until you pause for 3 seconds) When you find the face you want, simply stop cycling and the face will remain. To use this feature, be sure to select Watchface QuickChange to ON in the ConnectIQ options menu.
This style was suggested to me by another Fenix3 owner and I found I really loved it - so my thanks go out to N.K.
*As a battery conservation limitation enforced by Garmin, the second hand can only stay active for 10 seconds at a time on some watches. Making a 'look at your watch' gesture will reactivate the seconds hand. The newer Garmin watches now allow for persistent second hands.
