About

Most watch faces give you fourteen numbers and hide the time among them. This one does the opposite. The time takes up nearly half the screen, in the largest font your watch has, white on black. You read it with your arm down, in sunlight, without your glasses. Underneath, one line. You choose what goes in it - up to three of: steps, calories, intensity minutes, heart rate, Body Battery, distance, the date, or the watch battery. Pick one and leave the rest off. Nothing else competes for your eye: the data is grey on purpose, so the time is always what you see first. - The biggest numeric font your watch supports, measured per device - Up to three fields, and they can all be off - Dark or light - 12 or 24 hour, or whatever the watch is set to - Always-on display: the time only, dimmed, shifting slightly so nothing burns into an AMOLED panel - Asks for three permissions: Background and Communications, which the payment library needs to check your licence, and Sensor History, which is where the watch keeps your heart rate and Body Battery. Nothing about you leaves the watch - English and Spanish Free for 7 days, then a one-time purchase of $1.99. No subscription, no ads, nothing collected about you. When the trial ends the watch shows a code; you enter it at kzl.io/code to unlock the face permanently. Payment is handled by KiezelPay, not by this app - it never sees your card details, and refunds go through them. Common questions "A code appeared on my watch and I don't want to buy it." Switch to another watch face. Nothing is charged and nothing is kept. "I paid but the code is still there." Your watch has to sync with your phone first. Open Garmin Connect and give it a minute. "Who is KiezelPay?" The company that handles the payment, at kzl.io. This app never sees your card details, and refunds are requested through them. Questions or problems: write to me and tell me your watch model. There are a few other paid faces of mine in the store as well - a hand-drawn bear that reacts to your day, a countdown to your next race, and the real sky above you right now. All free for 7 days first. Disponible en español.

What's new

1.2.0 - the sleep field is gone, and the face no longer shows example numbers. Sleep was never real. The field it read does not exist in the watch API, so it silently fell back to sample data. That was my mistake and it should not have shipped. It is replaced by intensity minutes, which the watch does record. Also: heart rate, Body Battery and intensity minutes no longer fall back to example data when the watch has nothing to show - the line is simply left out. Steps, calories and distance keep the fallback, because a brand new watch really does start at zero there.
