About

Just released for the Fenix 3, Vivoactive and FR920XT so it may be buggy. I will be releasing an update soon to fix these problems. This watch face is like the original watch face made my Garmin except with a few minor improvements. It shows daily steps, daily distance, calories burned (resting + active), day of week, day in month, phone connection, and percent battery remaining (toggle-able), all in an easy to read design. The color of the hour changes correspond to if it is day or night, but can be changed in app settings. The exclamation mark indicates the number of notifications you have and the bell with a number represents the number of alarms set. This app supports 12 and 24 hour time as well as distance walked in kilometers or miles. It is impossible to add seconds at this point due to limitations with the SDK. Customizable: - Background Color (Black or White) - Hour and Minute Colors - Turn On or Off Battery Percentage - Turn On or Off Daily Statistics - Turn On or Off the leading zero on the hour - Show or Hide Movement Bar (Disabled until a bug is fixed that crashes the app) ——————————————————— To change the color: Through the mobile app: click the following bunches in this order, More - Garmin Devices - Your Current Watch - Connect IQ Apps - Watch Faces - Better Original Watch Face - Settings . There you can change the hour and minute colors. Through Garmin Express make sure your watch is connected to your computer open it up - select your current watch - Manage Apps - click the three dots to the right of Better Original. There you can change the hour and minute colors.

What's new

Added Seconds when the watch is not in low power mode! Currently they are the color of the minutes, but it may be changed in the future. -Sorry for the long break between updates. I'm going to work throughout the next few weeks to update it, and fix all the positioning problems.
