For active athletes with intuitive signals a must have.
Sporty, stylish, simple and low power consumption watch face with a lot of configurable options.
Started this project due to lack of good and free watch faces that lets you customize to meet your needs.
Therefore let me know if you have a theme you like or improvements, could be available in an upcoming version....

FAQ
- Sunrise and sunset not showing: for the sunset/sunrise fields to work they need a valid GPS position. You can achieve this by starting outside an activity that uses GPS like running. Once a valid GPS position is acquired It can take a few minutes before the fields display time.
- Weather not showing: make sure your phone is connected to the watch and weather information is updated (check the weather widget from the watch).
Themes
To use predefined colors you can select on of the themes. When a theme is set you cannot change the colors afterwards. If you want to set other colors you have to set theme to None and set it all yourself.
Watch face
The watch face consists of a big time in the middle with a date above and three area's for data fields: top, activity and bottom.
In the setup you can specify if and how many data fields should be visible for each area and also which data they should display. Remember that this watch face supports many watches with different display sizes, you should set the number of data fields to be displayed that fits you screen. There is also an option to change the size of the font for the different data area's. The center area provides the big time so you can see it in a glance. Date can be configured if it is visible and how it is formatted. On the left of the time notifications can be shown for: bluetooth, mail and alarms with or without counters.
Sleep mode
Every watch will enter sleep mode after a few seconds. There are a number of settings that let you control what to display when the watch goes into sleep mode.
Option 'Minimize on sleep' will reduce the colors and lines. 'Show [area] data on sleep' let you specify what will be displayed in that data area when watch goes into sleep. this makes it possible to have different data displayed in normal and sleep mode. These options do not apply to watches that have burn in protection like the Venu.
