Feedback is a joy! Feedback / comments via twitter : @whatchforme. If you’d like to say thanks you could buy me a coffee. https://www.buymeacoffee.com/warwickh This is the watchface I wanted - designed for me perhaps useful for you. I wrote and tested this on Venu during April 2020 when I was looking to learn some skills and find something to do with my time. Stay Safe. Back in the day (with an original vivoactive) I loved SimpleActive- https://apps.garmin.com/en-US/apps/fa683ad9-0c18-4c12-85af-6dea062ed308 I appreciated being able to see my step history over the last 7 days and the encouragement to keep the whole week Green. This watchface is inspired by that along with multiple other watchfaces that all did some of what I wanted but not everything. Key features: ------------------ * Sunrise/Sunset - the next sun events - R2 - Now based on GPS Location. If you get a "No GPS" message then go outside - start a run activity and wait for GPS lock - then try WHatch4Me again - once you have a GPS lock WHatch4Me saves this so it will subsequently assume you are in the same location again. If you travel to another location - just get a new GPS lock to update the location. * Days To/Since date - count down to an event (birthday, run, Christmas) or count up from an anniversary or a bad habit you are trying to break. Set the date in Settings via Connect IQ. Can also hide this display from Connect IQ settings. *Steps Streak - initially calculated based on the days that the watch face sees (last 7 days). The code saves the date it last sees a missed day - and then counts from then. If you miss a day this will reset. Can be overridden by Connect IQ settings but that will only work if there are no missed days in the watch history Screen Description : --------------------- Battery % Sunrise, Heart Rate, Sunrise Date, Bluetooth connect (blue filled circle) Time Step Average (for 8 days including today)* Max Steps (for 7 days not including today because Days To/Since date - (See explanation above) - optional CIQ setting. Step Graph history (Grey for unmet, green for met, blue for today) Steps today / Streak Days (See explanation above) Low Power Mode - Just the time - in small font - moving every minute to meet the Venu screen burn in rules - only active on Venu (and others?) if Timeout="Always On" is on recommend with Gesture Sensitivity = "High" setting. Connect IQ Settings: ----------------------------- *Display Day (to/Since) or not - optionally turn on/off the to/since date *To/Since Date - select a day to count down to or up from. *Attempt to Override Streak (y/n) one time setting - to override using the following date *Override Streak Date - the date to be used to override the start of streak (read above re Streak Date - a missed day in your 7 day history will mean this override date wont work - WHatch4Me knows you are cheating! ) Known Issues / Small Print: -------------------------------- Tested on physical Venu - Simulator tested on other watch face sizes Streak: Streak (under the graph) will ONLY be accurate if Whatch4Me is run every day (or at least once a week). If you used this Whatch4Me once - then chose another watchface for daily use - and missed a bunch of days - but then came back to Whatch4Me during a week after you had made steps goal everyday - then Whatch4Me would not have "seen" your missed days and would incorrectly give you a very long streak dating back to when you last used Whatch4Me. This is the expected behaviour - you can use the override setting to correct this situation to a more recent date.

What's new

Release 2 - Added GPS location to calculate Sunrise/Sunset Removed settings for Location (Lat/Long). R3/R4 - Review spacing and design to work with more different sized watch faces (would be nice if system font sizes were proportional and consistent to face size - but it seems they are not!) Thanks Warren and Ivy for testing! R5 - Still not totally happy with the spacing on all devices - further tweaks - Removed Low power mode for devices not requiring burn in protection.
