HandsFive

Description

My grandpa was watchmaker and I am programmer and runner ;) ...This is analog watch face with five hands displaying some useful data like Sunrise/Sunset*, current phase of the Moon, altitude, daily steps and their progress towards the goal, 7-days history chart, burned or active calories, walked distance, heart rate**, etc. Highly configurable***.</p><p></p><p>(*) For Sunrise/Sunset computation the last known GPS position is used. If nothing is displayed, you have to fetch the current satellite data via any of the activity apps which uses GPS. You can also use the 'Time Sync' with GPS option from the system settings.</p>

What’s New

IMPORTANT: This watch face is FREE, but its development took me a lot of hours, and I'm still trying to make it better (there were more than 135 upgrades until now :). Therefore, if you like it and use it regularly - please make a small donation to my PayPal account: https://goo.gl/5z5ZBF (anything of a price of coffee would be highly appreciated ;) MANY THANKS!</p><p></p><p>v7.21: fixed CIQ API compatibility issue for archaic devices (like Fenix 3 and other with CIQ 1.x)</p>

It looks and works great!

I liked very much until the last update. Since then the sunrise and sunset time is not correct. It randomly switches during the day. Only a very short time it is equal to the time that is displayed by the Garmin native widget. Today by Garmin: Sunrise 5:36, sunset 20:52 Today by HandsFive Sunrise 7:53, sunset 20:00 (Values for Frankfurt in Germany) And the HandsFive values never change with the days. Please fix. HandsFive is so nice!

This is not the HandsFive issue at all. Update Garmin Connect app in your phone and restart your watch to resolve the problems.

Pretty good watch face overall. I've been having some issues with the seconds getting cut off on the digital time. I noticed an update that might address it, so hopefully that's fixed now. My only real complaint is that I can't set the digital time to be the same as the analog time. Digital time can only be set with a UTC offset which means it's always wrong when I travel and I have to manually update after daylight savings. Real pain in the butt that seems like it would be so easy to implement. Do most people actually prefer a static UTC time?

Thanks for your feedback, Kevin! The digital time was never meant to be the same as the analogue one. It is actually a dual time for tracking, e.g. your home time while you're travelling. That's why it is more logical to be set relative to the UTC time.

Love this watch face. I would like to see a paid version with some more functionality.. great work

Thanks for your feedback! This one will stay for free. I have several other watch faces with premium features, which can be activated after a small donation. You can easily find them. ;)

If you want a nice looking analog watch face with weather data, check my WeatherOne ;) ...only for newer devices.

I’ve had this installed for my Fénix 5x+ for years and I haven’t found another display that I like more and puts 90% of the data I want right there to see. Excellent work and I hope my device continues to keep up with your updates.

I have a Fenix 3 HR-1 , and have loved Hands Five for 3-4 years now, but since update on weekend it has stopped working. Is there any way to get it back?

Developer Reply
April 19, 2023, mbell

Thank you for your feedback! There was an issue with the backward compatibility of CIQ API (Fenix 3 devices have very old version 1.4, while current version is already 4.2). I fixed this issue in new version 7.21. Please, update HandsFive on your device.

Quatix 3 is quite old device and might have problems with memory management after the update. If you have such an issue, power cycle your watch and reinstall the watchface.

I do not understand what all numbers and pointers shows :). Some are obvious, but some I don't know. May you please provide more explanation for us-stupid people :D (hope I am not alone :D )?

One of the best watch faces I've tried. It would be even better if there was a way to keep the second hand on permanently on the top sub-dial instead of only while I gesture the watch also if the colours and functions of the sub-dial rings could be customised, but it is a free face and clearly this developer has put a lot of effort into this, thank you!

Really really good. One thing: Could you make some data field so that I could write some text on it? Like a phone number for information.

Very nice watchface. Is there a version where you can setup the whole data?

Beautiful and very interesting watchface. I have only two tiny requests :) 1. Make it possible to select floors climbed in the left subface lower field. Other users would love that too. 2. Make some other color combinations for background, like black/red, black/green, black/yellow (I can see you love blue color) Thanks for your effort. p. s.: I'll be glad to donate you a beer if you do

Perfect on my Fenix ​​6x pro Solar! Is there a way to increase the icon or the number of notifications?

Graham Dyke
October 27, 2022 | Version 7.18

With respect to the Fenix6 Pro: Lots of the data fields that are listed as being selectable options for the configurable circles, are in fact not options. The second hand jumps about all over the place in the top circle data field. Only the eyesight of an infant would be able to see most of the text in the data fields without a magnifying glass. Other than that great!

Best watch face by far. I used your HandsZero on my old 230, but now I use this one on my 255. Great work man, appreciate it. As soon as I get some spare money, you're definetely getting a donation.

The best watch face I have found for my Fenix 6 Solar Pro. It show loads of information but is easily read even when your approaching 50! Easily configured to get it just how you want it. And it’s stylish. And as an added bonus, I have contacted the developer on a few occasions and he always responds within a few hours. 45mins was his record. I’ve tried others but reverted to this as it shows the data fields I want and the fonts are perfectly legible.
