Watch face has the following:
- Moon phases in graphical and text formats.
- Sunrise and Sunset data in graphical ant text formats. For Sunrise/Sunset calculation, before first run of watch face, need to activate GPS (on device Menu – Settings – System – Time – Sync with GPS). To save battery, data will be updated every midnight.

- Second clock for other time zone. Present all existed time zones including DST correction.
- Week number in a year.
- Days to event countdown.
- Icons for Bluetooth, received messages, and alarms.
- Of course, date and time (to show seconds, select this option in watch face menu. After installation / update of watch face for the first abt 5 min, seconds could jump over one. After, all became in order by itself. ).

- Inactivity bar.
- “Do not disturb” status.
- Weekly average activity minutes.
- Burned calories in a day.
- Floors climbed and descent.
- Daily steps done and target in graphical and text formats.
- Daily distance done in km.
- Following diagrams:
--- Basic pressure diagram with mean sea level correction (can be calibrated in your device options). Generally, 4Hrs length, depends from your device. Given in mBar.
--- 24hrs pressure diagram. Can be selected pressure corrected for mean seal level (MSL), smoothed direct data from sensor (Amb) and clear data from sensor (rAmb). For last two correction can be set in watch face options. Pay attention, to obtain 24hr diagram, after installation of watch face, you have to activate pressure collection and select type of data to be collected in watch face options. After – reboot your device. To switch off collection, just unselect in options, reboot not requested. All pressure data collected from “activity mode”, so initial appearance of data can be delayed for few minutes. First 24hrs after activation, watch face has to collect initial 24hrs data to provide diagram, after it will update hourly.
--- Elevation diagram for last 4hrs (depends from your device).
--- Temperature diagram for last 4hrs (depends from your device).
--- Daily steps history for last seven days.
--- Daily distance history for last seven days.
--- Daily activity minutes history for last seven days.
Watch face was tested on Fenix 5x only. For any bugs of suggestions fill free to contact me.
Before usage of watch face insure, that your device updated up to last firmware.
For proper update of watch face, it is recommended, to uninstall completely previous version, or, at least, switch to other watch face before update.
What's new
Ver 4.0.1

digital time will be shown. Full data screen will appear only for period when device
in awake mode. Just to save battery in critical situation.
Ver 4.0.0
-- Huge code refactoring.
-- Add “Dot Style” for diagrams, except 24hr pressure and activity diagrams.
-- Add Calories data for Weekly Activity Diagrams.
Ver 3.8.4
-- Add support for D2 Delta, D2 Delta PX and D2 Delta S
Ver 3.8.3
-- Add possibility to show seconds if chosen in watch face option. After installation / update of watch face for the first abt 5 min, seconds could jump over one. After, all became in order by itself.
Ver 3.7.3
-- Increased font size for some data.
Ver 3.7.0
-- Add support for Vivoactive 3 Music.
Ver 3.6.9
-- Optimization for new firmware.
Ver 3.6.3
-- Removed all delays in data appearance.
Ver 3.6.0
--- Add support for 5 plus and 5x plus
Ver 3.5.5
--- Add Sun ecliptic pointsat sun area:
Top side - summer solstice, right side - autumn equinox, bottom side – winter solstice, left side – spring equinox
--- Countdown days to next ecliptically point.
Ver 3.3.5
-- Add correction index in Garmin IQ (Watch Face Settings from your mobile or PC) for 24hr Ambient and Raw Ambient pressure (Mean Sea Level correction already arranged by Garmin).
Ver 3.3.0
-- Add Heart Rate Diagram
-- For 24hrs pressure diagram now available:
- Mean Sea Level Pressure Data
- Ambient Pressure Data
- Raw Ambient Pressure Data
This type of data gets from Activity part, so after first run of WF, it may take a couple min before first data will appears.
(Collect and keep all 3 types of data - expensive for memory and battery, so, if type of data will be changed
it will continue storing data in new format, previously stored data will not be changed, just over-righted on time)
Ver 3.1.5
-- return option to on/off 24hrs pressure data collection.
to activate, select option in IQ settings and reboot device.
to deactivate, just deselect option in IQ. At next round hour it
will not stars and will clear previously collected data.
-- To free memory and prolong battery life, sun and moon
calculations will be done only when device going into
sleep mode. So, for initial data (first run display) need to wait
for couple minutes (do not forget to activate your GPS for couple minutes, after WF installed and firstly launched, for couple minutes, to obtain Initial GPS position for Sunrise/Sunset calculation).
Ver. 3.0.0
-- Add 24hrs pressure diagram.
!!! Important !!! Standard length of history, stored by Garmin
abt 4hrs. To obtain 24hrs history, I’ve arrange background process,
which store pressure data for each round hour.
So, proper working 24hrs pressure diagram, will appears after 24hrs
after installation and first run of watch face, just for initial full field
of 24hrs base.
