Absolutely can't understand how does AM/PM settings work. At any settings the watchface is always black. What I have to set, if I want my watch to change the face to white at 7:00 and to black at 21:00?

thanks for the review, it sound as if your Settings file did not install properly. Uninstall the app, restart the watch and reinstall the app. with the am/pm the watch face will switch from black to white for easier view at day or night.

Спасибо за разработку но не немного не то, до аналоговых не дотягивают

On my vivoactive 3 battery consumption is no less than othe much more visible watch faces.

thanks for the review, however the battery consumption should be much less. Unfortunately, firmware updates may change battery usage, however if you where to compare to the most popular watch faces with this face. the Analog Battery Saver will use 50% less than those faces.

Thanks for the information, i believe i corrected the error in v2.2. Version 2.0 was a huge update to a new compiler version. Hopefully, this was the last.

Hi, sorry your having a problem, try unistall, restart watch and reinstalling. If that does not work let me know, use the contact developer link and contact me.

Simple y con diseño minimalista muy elegante Solo necesitaría un icono de 90% de batería, imprescindible para estos relojes que debemos recargar frecuentemente. Un secundario también facilitaria su uso en momentos puntuales. Buen trabajo

Could have earned 5 star instead. Please put an option for round/rectangular shape for rectangular watches.

Looks good, but 0,3% battery drain on f5x per hour is not battery save. I have 0,4%/hour with watchfaces fully informations baro/steps/kc/always on seconds ...

I would have rated it great (5*), but unfortunately, the app updated automatically through Garmin Express, and the watch face became round shaped, which looks pretty silly on my rectangular Vivoactive... I saw that this was part of the app update, but is possible to restore it somehow? Or just an option, to select the previous, rectangular shape?

Makes my 920xt look like a classic style watch and not sure what the previous review wrote. I only lost less than 1% over night.

0,3% battery drain per hour is not as mutsch saving as i hope.

A decent watch face, but the second hand keeps disappearing for some reason. I like to see the second hand. To be deleted unfortunately.

Unfortunately, all IQ watch faces can only display the second on a Gesture Event. Other than that, no second hand unless you use the built-in garmin watch faces.

Nice, simple and clean watchface. Would you consider adding two symbols? 1) Battery Level and 2) Alarm on/off maybe when "raising the hand"? The battery level would be the most important to avoid going into an activity with a low batt (it happened to me a few times). cheers and keep up the excellent work! thank you!

Nice, simple and elegant. Looks good and can see the time without backlight even in low ambient light conditions. Would be absolutely perfect if second hand colour changes according to battery level (green to yellow to orange to red).

Es funktioniert! Bugs: Einstellen per Android GCM bringt die App zum Absturz (scheint ein Garmin Connect/SDK Problem zu sein da es bei anderen Apps auch passiert). Funktioniert aber mit Garmin Express. Im Modus mit weißem Hintergrund wird bei high contrast kein Minutenzeiger angezeigt. Trotzdem ist die Idee und der Ansatz 5 Sterne wert.

Sorry, no statistics available yet.
