3D KJG III

A minimal and fast digital watchface that renders the time in 3D & 3-point perspective. Something fun and functional for you fellow fans of art, architecture and typography. FEATURES - Big numbers & text for fast & easy reading. - Low power & optimized (under 1ms per update & 0.1% battery per hour on fenix6pro). - As responsive as a stock watchface when pressing buttons or switching screens. No sacrificing function for form. - Choose either horizontal or vertical time layout. - 6 curved text datafields around the bezel (heart rate, date, next sun event, digital time, notification count, altitude, daily distance, daily steps). - 4 'progress' data markers that orbit from 12 o'clock (0%) to 3 o'clock (25%), 6 o'clock (50%), 9 o'clock (75%) and back to 12 o'clock (100%) (body battery, battery, stress, steps, move bar, daily floors). - All colors are customizable. - Optional second hand. DESIGN - KJG stands for artist Kim Jung Gi. I got fooled into thinking I can draw better with perspectives after watching his Youtube videos. Then I realized I'm better at programming and wondered... what if we have a 3D design on our 2D watch faces? We are in the 21st century after all so it's kind of lame to still be trapped in 2D-land. - So, I used this excuse to brush up on Computer Graphics and swiped some code online for doing 3D perspective projection onto a 2D plane (our watch face). - As with my other watch faces, I like digital watch face designs that are impossible on physical watches. If we can draw anything on a digital watch, shouldn't we keep pushing the boundaries instead of being lazy and recycling old designs? TECHNICAL DETAILS - When there are no changes, a cached BufferedBitmap is displayed without any recompute. Updates are incrementally drawn on the BufferedBitmap. - Sunrise/Sunset time uses the last GPS location your watch has seen. If the watchface is showing the wrong Sunrise/Sunset time, get a fresh GPS loc by starting a GPS activity or saving your current GPS location. The latest location is then saved to Application.Storage as a fallback in case no live location is available. - Anti-burn-in is auto-enabled for AMOLED devices. In Always-On-Display mode, a checkerboard overlay reduces active pixels to 10% and ensures no pixel is on for more than 3 minutes. PERMISSIONS - GPS permission needed to get last GPS location for Sunrise/Sunset Time (but GPS is never activated). - Garmin Connect fitness profile permission needed to get your heart rate range. - Sensor History permission needed to read body battery and stress level.

This watchface is completely FREE. Please install it on all your devices and your friends' devices and your spouse's devices. Then please leave a review to help my watch face appear on top of the search list (and above all the recent crappy developers who spam the Connect IQ store with low-effort low-quality creations).
