About

My daughter has a Garmin Forerunner 235, and she was asking for a watch face that was fun and professional. After some searching, we found our inspiration in the Swatch Indexter Black. My daughter also requires an "always on" second hand for nursing clinicals, so here is the accompanying app. (If there are other watch faces you would like me to consider simulating, please feel free to contact me at [email protected].) So what is this, and how do I use it? This is an “app” that acts as a watch face with an always on second hand regardless of the 1Hz support of your watch! After installation, you start it like you would start a training activity. Press start, find "colours - sport" and press start. *** This app is fully functional, but donations are greatly appreciated! If you desire to donate, please send to: https://www.paypal.me/tonybusa. *** *** IMPORTANT REGARDING NOTIFICATIONS *** Set Smart Notifications for “During Activity” to same you have set for “Not During Activity” (so that you continue to get notifications). *** IMPORTANT REGARDING BATTERY USAGE *** Battery usage for the watch face version is about 0.3% per hour on a Fenix 5, which equates to approximately 14 days. The "application" version uses about 1.8% per hour on a Fenix 5, which equates to approximately a bit over 2 days. I recommend using the watch face version primarily and then switching to the "application" version when desired. Please do not post a negative review due to a bug until you give me the opportunity to correct it, please. Please click the “Contact Developer” link under Additional Information, and I will respond quickly. Our designs are ranked based on reviews, and unnecessary poor reviews limit our exposure and effectiveness in continued development. Otherwise, if you just do not like the app, then feel free to rate away :) Credits: A sincere "thank you" to the developers of the examples in the Garmin ConnectIQ SDK. Specifically, the Analog example. Credits to travis.vitek (Master member on ConnectIQ developer forum). I copied directly from him with just one minor mod: rotated given angle 90 degrees. Easier for me to work with clock orientation this way.
