About

Neon Glow is a stylish, advanced digital watch face, which was exclusively designed for Garmin devices with AMOLED screens. It makes full use of the high resolution and number of colors available. Five different neon fonts are available and you are free to choose your preferred color using our new color picker. This app is based on our new Gen2 watch face engine, which guarantees fast rendering, energy efficiency and features a visual settings editor, that makes choosing your favorite content easy and fun. For a 100% clean look, you can hide all complications (see „DATA“ below). *Usage* Press and hold the touch screen over a complication will open the related widget for further information, if available. This applies to the status bar complications, too. *Customization* You can customize the watch face by the standard Garmin way: From the watch face, hold "Up/Menu". Select "Watch Face". Press "Start/Stop", then select an option to customize. Select "Apply" to save changes. For watches with less than 5 buttons (Venu, Approach, ...), please see the user manual of your watch, section "Editing a Watch Face". DATA: Choosing the „Data“ menu entry opens our new visual settings editor. All elements on the screen, that can be modified („slots“), are outlined by rounded rectangles. The currently active slot is colored in green. You can cycle through the different slots by pressing the UP / DOWN buttons on your watch and select it by pressing „START“. Or just use the touchscreen to choose one. For each slot a circular complication picker is presented. You can navigate the available data again by UP / DOWN or touchscreen. It is important to confirm your choice by pressing START. Depending on the slot, the available complications differ. There is always an „Empty“ complication available to switch off an element. COLORIZE (part of Data screen): In addition to selecting the color of your choice, you can colorize the time numerals by using data like heart rate, stress, etc. Select the time itself on the "DATA" customizing screen and pick your data source. COLOR: On the circumfence of the screen a color circle is shown. Pick your color by tapping the touch screen at the corresponding spot or use the UP / DOWN buttons to cycle colors in steps. Confirm your choice by pressing „START“ when done. Press „BACK“ to discard. Manual color selection only works if "Adjust Manually" is chosen in "Data" selecting the time (see above). FONT: You have the choice of five different fonts. Use the UP / DOWN buttons to cycle through all options. Confirm your choice by pressing „START“ when done. LOW POWER THEME: Our app features two different „Always On Display“ (AOD) modes: One that shows full details of the complications and another one with reduced details. Please be aware that the amount of detail in AOD mode has a major impact on battery life. Expect 25% shorter battery life with full details compared to reduced details. MORE APPS: Have a quick preview of some of our other highly rated apps. Some (not all!) of the available themes are shown. Use UP / DOWN buttons or touchscreen to see the next app. When pressing the START button or touching the link symbol, a QR-code is displayed. Please scan with your smartphone's camera to get to the app on Garmin's IQ-Store for further details. OTHER: Restore to factory defaults For users of CGM systems we provide a complication to display the current blood glucose value on this watch face. Please install our free widget "CGM Gauge Widget": https://apps.garmin.com/apps/b0b94101-9b66-4523-96bf-44292f100ee7 and configure it as described. The CGM-option will only show up in the menu after installation of the additional widget. Colorize by CGM reading is possible! Available options may vary by device, as not all functionality is implemented by Garmin on all watches. For further support, please use the „Contact Developer“ link on this page. We’ll get back to you within 12 hours. Tags: Amoled, Neon, Color,
