About

After buying a Garmin Vivoactive 3 music I was looking for a nice watch face. I found this one: https://apps.garmin.com/en-US/apps/8f514274-d4d6-4c6b-9079-a319d9ada5ce#0 Since it was not available for my device I contacted the developer to ask for support of my device. He did not respond an the last update happened in december 2016. So, I made a shameless copy of this watchface. Fields can be hidden and colors can be changed with Garmin Connect Mobile (GCM) or Garmin Express (GE). If you want to buy me a beer to thank me: https://www.paypal.me/EJdeVries
