Update 20 March 2018: Hi. I have switched to a new tracker and won't be using the Vivoactive HR anymore. Hence I won't be updating this watch face. But I will leave it up here for those who still want to use it but won't be able to assist in any queries. Thanks for your support.
*****************************
This is my first watch face project. I am a non-coder and non-techie so this is very new to me.
As I only have the Vivoactive HR, I have designed only for that. One issue with this tracker smart watch is that the display is not that great and most of the watch faces available for it tend to cram too much information rendering the details rather difficult to read. So I have designed this to be big and bold and for (hopefully) maximum visibility, it is white on black only.
This watch face displays the time in 24 hours military style with steps counter below. Above the time is the Day, Date and month. And on the status bar, there are: (1) Bluetooth connection indicator, (2) Incoming alerts from phone indicator which is an exclamation mark in a white box, and (3) on the right is the battery power percentage next to the power icon.
Oh, I can't guarantee that this will work for your Vivoactive HR, so please use it at your own risk and only if you are willing to take that risk as I won't be responsible for your watch screwing up.
I am not taking requests at the moment as I am still a newbie figuring my way about (lots to learn). And I have yet to figure out how to make a configurable watch face so there is no way to change the format of time and date for this one. I might attempt that in the future.

What's new
Version 1.0.2.a: minor clean up.
Versions 1.0.1 & 1.0.2 is the same as 1.0.0 just that I cleaned up the status icon to the best of my very limited ability. The previous ones look horrid.
