Analog 24h watch incl. sunrise/sunset
· v2.0.0
About
This watch face displays a 24 h analog clock with hours (0-24, short hand) and minutes (0-60, long hand). Additionally solar noon (yellow hand) and sunrise to sunset duration (blue semi circle) is shown as well. Civic twilight times are indicated in dark blue and nautical twilight times in purple.
Last GPS location is used to calculate the sun data based on the equations from the Astronomical Algorithms, by Jean Meeus (verified against https://www.esrl.noaa.gov/gmd/grad/solcalc/calcdetails.html). If no GPS data is available, Lat/Lon = 0/0 at UTC is used, so make sure to acquire a GPS position for your location. This feature does not work on Fenix 5X watches, were the coordinates can be set manually.
You can choose where midnight (24h) is located on you watch. If your watch is set to 12h time format, midnight will be on the bottom. However if you set to 24h time format, midnight will be on top. Go to Settings - System - Time - Time Format and choose.
Additional features:
- change Hour, Minute and Second hour hand color.
- activate a battery level indicator below the date.
- activate a second hour hand and configure the timezone offset from UTC.
If you have issues with the watch face, do contact me via the link. I will try to fix the problem as fast as possible.
Settings and using the pro key works well with the "Connect IQ" app. There are issues with "Garmin Express". Contact me if you have problems!
DISCLAIMER: The sun algorithm works for all locations and is theoretically accurate to within a minute for locations between +/- 72° latitude, and within 10 minutes outside of those latitudes. If you are outside +/- 66° latitude you might see a complete blue circle during your summer (see 4th image below). This is not a bug, it simply means you have 24h daylight.

What's new
ver. 2.0.0: Pro features and donation system removed. I make the app freely available as donations so far cover less than 2% of the development costs. Many thanks to everybody who has donated, you made this watch face possible in the first place.
ver. 1.8.0: Now you can select the time zone offsets from a list of time zones, no float entry anymore. More bug fixes.
ver 1.7.0: The default option now exists to manually enter the required data for the sun calculation (Lat, Lon, Timezone). It is also possible for the user to activate getting the location from the GPS. Almost all users should be able to do so. Currently Fenix 5X users have to manually enter their location, the automatic retrieval does not work on Fenix 5X watches.
