About

For my old man. A watch face with large numbers and letters that can be easily read by people who's eyes have trouble focusing up close. Shows time, date, and battery percentage with options to include Bluetooth connection icon, seconds, heart rate indicator, step count, and notification count. Size of seconds is programmable. Date format can be American or European, long or short. Customizable font for main time and colors for most fields. Background can be black or white. Battery percentage indicator optionally turns red when at 15% and below.

What's new

1.6.1: Added compatibility for more watches. 1.6.0: * Added option to use the Garmin System Font for main time. This font will look like the seconds on your watch but will be slightly larger. Unfortunately, it is still smaller than the Custom fonts I have provided, and Garmin does not provide a larger version. The name of this font in your settings is "System Font (Smaller than Custom Fonts)" * Added option to use a leading zero for the hours on the main time. When this option is on and hours is a one digit number, a zero will be placed before it. * When seconds and heart rate are both off and either notification count or step count (but not both) are on, it will now be drawn in a larger font to take advantage of the extra space provided by everything else being off. 1.5.0: * Added battery saver mode for heart rate. When off (default), updates the number once per second. When on, updates once per minute or once per second for ten seconds after raising your wrist to "wake" the watch. Note that waking may take multiple tries. This should save battery and extend the life of each charge. 1.4.0: * Major overhaul of under-the-hood systems. Should slightly improve battery life. 1.3.1: * Heart rate indicator should now update once per second instead of once per minute. 1.3.0: * Added option for heart rate indicator. May not work on all devices. Seconds must be turned off and heart rate turned on to show heart rate. 1.2.0: * Added option for whether battery indicator turns red at 15% and below. Default is yes, which is the previous unchangeable functionality. * Added optional Bluetooth connection indicator. When connected, shows Bluetooth icon in light blue; when disconnected, shows Bluetooth icon with a line through it in light gray. 1.1.3: * Rearranged settings to better group them. * Fixed an issue where seconds would be drawn with black background, even when watch face was set to white background. * Fixed an issue where seconds would sometimes be drawn truncated. 1.1.2: Fix for default settings. 1.1.1: * Added option to switch between black background and white background. * Added dark versions of some existing colors. It is recommended to use lighter colors on black background and darker colors on white background for visibility. * Date can now be formatted as American or European, long or short (previously, only American long was available) 1.1.0: Added compatibility for more watches. 1.0.1: Minor bug fixes. 1.0.0: New release.
