This Watch Face delivers a wealth of information, available at a glance. That includes sun and moon data based on your latest known position, activity data and history, heading, elevation and UTC time/date. Several variations exist to match your need.

=== IMPORTANT ===============================================
* Accepting donations here https://www.paypal.me/julienvm if you want to support my work.
I just spent 2 full weekends + many evenings just making versions of Clarity requested by users. It's not as easy as you think, everything lies in the small details. So if you use the watch face and consider it a quality product, consider contributing even a small amount. This in turn will motivate me to come up with other cool apps, like basemaps, navigation and flight plan transfer.

=== KNOWN BUGS ===============================================
* Heading and elevation seem to update sometimes at 1Hz and sometimes once per minute (also when not in low power mode). So be careful when using heading.
* Power consumption *
Power consumption is very high and may drain the battery in a few days. There is a power saving mode that should activate automatically, where the watch updates once per minute. But this power saving mode does not activate as often as necessary. This may be corrected by Garmin in the future, unfortunately this is not in the developers' hands.
Consequently, the screen gets refreshed every second most of the time.
I tried to redraw only changed values to save power when not in low power mode. But the problem is that when there is a notification or when returning from widgets, there is not information about that event in the framework, and so I can't refresh the screen to hide the previous notification or widget. This leads to an ugly superimposition of changed values of the watch and the previous notification/widget. I'm sure you'd consider this a low quality product.
If you have any idea on how to improve power use, please let me know.
