Pure Fenix
· v2.1.0
About
This watch face is inspired by the look of Garmin Fenix 5 Plus. Have you noticed the line at the top of these watches? Similar lines are representing time. There are several customization options, colors and configurable data fields. All of them can be displayed only on gesture, or at all times.
The entire watch face is programmed to be as minimalistic, clean and lightweight as possible. So there is no “one second” update, no text (font supports only numbers and very few special characters), and the used fonts support clean design. These features result in minimal battery consumption (test it and you might be surprised). For that reason, I am trying not to add too many new features.
You can configure “third watch hand”, which is called “inactivity hand”. It represents the time when you last moved. It gets reset if you take at least 35 steps (or press any button or receive a notification). In case of the Garmin move alert, the hand represents the level of alert (each level is 12 minutes). Also, on inactivity, the heart rate field changes color (if it is set to be shown).
In the recent update, you can also configure text and hand sizes.
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
- Time
As always, the watch face is completely free with no locked features.
IMPORTANT - HOW TO CONFIGURE / UNINSTALL 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 / Zen Minimalist 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.
