## Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: How do I customize the colors and data fields?
A: All customization is done in the Garmin Connect IQ app on your phone. Select "My Device," find AuroraPulse in your list of watch faces, and tap on "Settings."
Q: Why does the weather icon or temperature seem out of date?
A: To save battery, your watch gets new weather data from your phone periodically (often every 15-30 minutes), not in real-time. The watch face will always show the latest data your watch has received.
Q: The screen sometimes looks dim and is only black and white. Why?
A: That's the Always-On Display (AOD) for modern AMOLED screens! It's a special low-power mode that shows the time and key elements while saving battery and protecting your screen. The full-color display returns instantly when you raise your wrist. The AOD screen can be turned on and off in the watch settings.
Q: What is the difference between AuroraPulse and AuroraPulse Lite?
A: The Lite version is a great way to try the core features of the watch face. The full, paid version of AuroraPulse unlocks all advanced features, including the complete theming engine with all 13+ color variations and the full list of customizable data fields, including the weather data icons.
What's new
1.0.6 Added watch settings option. You can now change settings from the watch itself when choosing the watchface. Choose "Customize".
NOTE: If you downloaded the watchface before this update, it might be necessary to delete and re-download the watchface to get the watch settings update to work.
1.0.5 Improved layout for MIP displays. Added "am/pm" suffix for 12 hour time. Added option to display steps and calories in data-circles in "1.0K" format.
1.0.4 Added support for more devices and a select few MIP devices. TRY THE FREE VERSION before buying for a MIP screen device to ensure you're satisfied. The watch face is originally planned for AMOLED displays, and will therefore look very different on a MIP display. Watch the last picture - a GIF with screenshots from a MIP display to get an impression.
