About
This watchface is highly customizable and very battery friendly (as the screen is updated only once per minute). Two spheres represent minute and hour hands and the sphere in the middle can be configured to display various data fields (or turned off completely).
The minute sphere can be configured to display inactivity by adding following smaller spheres. These can represent Garmin inactivity alert, but also display number of inactive minutes (each sphere represents one minute). This custom alert will get reset when you walk at least 35 steps in a minute.
Size of spheres, font size and colors can be customized in the setting page – please configure it according to your preference and watch display resolution.
Configurable data fields are:
- Date (configurable format)
- Steps
- Step goal in percent
- Battery status in percent
- Walked distance in km
- Last HR
- Climbed floors
- Temperature (set automatically in F/C according to the watch setting)
- Calories
- Altitude
Explanation of several settings:
- Minute fading – displays two smaller spheres following the minute sphere (they use light and dark gray colors)
- Inactivity style – turns on the smaller spheres following the minute sphere. They will be displayed only when Garmin inactivity is triggered (Garmin only), or immediately after 3 minutes of inactivity (Garmin + Custom)
- Orb style, only HR – displays two circles, the inner one will get bigger with increasing heart rate
- Show text legend – displays various notes in data fields (such as %, km, etc.)
As always, the watch face is completely free so take it as a Christmas present :)

IMPORTANT - HOW TO CONFIGURE THE WATCHFACE:
You need to use the Garmin Connect application on your smart phone - there you have customization options, where you can modify settings of all watchfaces - it is the same for every watchface with configurable settings. You have to go to menu and select: Garmin Devices / Your device / Appearance / Watch Faces / Orb and there should be three options: Uninstall, View in store and Settings - just select Settings and there is the configuration.
If you want to uninstall the watchface, you need to select a different watchface as your active one first.
