My Big Date

A simple Garmin watchface that emphasizes larger font sizes, especially for the date. Some watchfaces try to pack as much data as possible onto one screen, using the tiniest of fonts to accomplish it at the expense of readability. Other watchfaces go for elegance and style, at the expense of usability. MyBigDate is for people who regularly forget the date and requires a glance at one's watch (with or without glasses on) without the need to extend an arm, move head back, squint, adjust lighting in hopes of being able to read the date. MyBigDate accomplishes this, all without sacrificing elegance or usability. MyBigDate uses the highest contrast for visibility (white on black), and high contrast (yellow on black) to for style and spatial segmentation. The watchface is intended for the Garmin 735xt. The watchface provides a large time of day configurable in standard or military format, prominently centered. Below the time is the day, month, and date. The battery meter is chunked into 1/5 sections, where each chunk represents 20% of battery life. The left most chunk is broken into 2 pieces representing 1%-10% and 11%-20%. Below the battery meter is the remaining battery life as a percentage.
