About

Analog watch face, Instinct style. https://reed.works/2026/04/26/instinct-analog-2-7-0/ Clear view of your analog time and other important data. Always-on seconds and live update for HR and solar battery charging*. 4 data sets switchable on the watch (and very conveniently by screen touch on compatible devices) make it easy to have a lot of information handy. For more information and user manual please visit: https://reed.works/instinct-analog-2-0-user-manual/ Older version of the manual covering the pre Connect IQ 4.x devices is here: https://reed.works/instinct-analog-user-manual/ All the features of this watch face can be used without payment. However, if some premium features are used, a floating padlock icon will appear on gesture. To avoid this, make sure no premium features (marked by a key icon) are selected or help the developer by buying an unlock key here: https://reed.works/instinctana-unlock/ ____________________________________________________________ Analog face inspired by Instinct ____________________________________________________________ - 12 and 24 hours analog mode - 7 data fields with up to 50+ options each - 2 sliders showing level/progress of selection of data - 2 arc gauges in the circle - 4 configurable status icons (phone, notifications, alarms, do not disturb) - 4 configurable datasets switchable by gesture or screen touch - Battery saving options - Customizable color accent on devices with color - Choice of Garmin* or OWM weather - Always on second hand option* - Live HR and solar charging options for circle number and arc 2* (*) On compatible devices . ____________________________________________________________ IMPORTANT: 1) Data placement is very flexible, but as a consequence it is possible that displayed data will overlap. You can experiment and plan your layout in such a way that overlapping does not happen. Note that you can also hide a field to make more space for the data next to it. 2) OWM API keys created with the free “Current weather and forecasts collection” subscription do not work any longer due to OWM policy changes. You need to subscribe to “One Call by Call” subscription plan for One Call API 3.0. This subscription comes with 1,000 API calls per day for free, and Instinct Analog will not exceed 300 calls per day (3 calls every 15 minutes).
