About
Vortex Glow is a unique Garmin smartwatch face featuring dynamic data visualisation.
Its visual display is not merely decorative but aims to convey the passage of time and the rhythm of life.
The outer ring data is still under development--currently, the three-layer arc segments are purely decorative dynamic vortex effects and are not directly linked to time or activity progress data.
Functionality:
- Multi-layer segmented arc design: outer layer displays time-related information, middle layer shows activity progress, inner ring is decorative
- Time display:
supports 12/24-hour format with shadow effect
- Date display: weekday and month/day format
Interactive behaviour:
- Raise to wake: vortex animation starts spinning
- Idle state:
after a few seconds, enters sleep mode and animation stops - Raise again: animation reactivates Custom
