About
Introducing Submarine: The completely free, highly customizable watch face built for efficiency.
Enjoy long battery life alongside a huge panel of useful indicators. Nearly all settings can be adjusted directly on your watch (menu ► watch faces ► Submarine ► customize).
Save and share your unique color schemes with friends!
INDICATORS
- Top: steps / distance + calories / VO2max / resting HR / weight (needs a Garmin scale) / calories burned (needs a base calories estimate)
- Right: body battery + date
- Bottom: rain probability + city / daily min/max temp (needs an OpenWeatherMap (OWM) key)
- Left: intensity minutes + time to recovery / wind speed / current timezone / min/max temp
- Top right: moon phase / heart rate / wind speed / minutes to next weather update / uv-index / diet points / altitude / temperature sensor / pressure / stress
- Bottom right: remaining battery (days / percent)
- Bottom left: temperature
- Top left: moon phase / weather icon
- Solar events: sunrise and sunset are shown as small triangles (with OWM only) and apply to a 12h scale.
FEATURES
2nd timezone.
The the background will turn blue when connectivity to the phone is lost, and the minute-hand will turn red if the movebar becomes active.
The watch face can work with standard Garmin weather or with OWM, which is generally more accurate. To use OWM, will need to put an API-key into the preferences of the watch face (https://openweathermap.org/faq).
Some features like sunrise/sunset, min/max temp and the weather icon only work with OWM.
UV-index: Your OWM-key needs to be registered for the OWM Onecall-API 3.0. This wont create any costs if you consume just the few weather calls issued by this watchface. After chosing this indicator please wait for the next weather update.
Diet points: Use a linear function to calculate your diet points from your weight (needs a connected Garmin scale). Diet points = slope * weight in g + constant. Diet slope and constant can be modified in the settings. Think allowed calories per day.
All colors can be customized. Ex: "red", "light green", ..., or "08FF0000" (html color code for semi transparent red). Some watches don't support transparent colors.
Ex: Hour marks=random defines a random color. Minute hand=random1 and Hour hand=random1 sets the SAME random color to both hands. You can use random1 to random5 to attribute the same color to different elements.
Save the text form "current color scheme" in a text file to store the scheme for later. Add a scheme to "new color scheme" to apply it.
In DND-mode, the "sleep color" is applied to hands and marks if you specified a color.
When you have an Amoled-watch that switches to a black background when goind to always-on-mode, you can use the "aod colors" to change the color of the hands and marks.
Max. battery in days: Use this setting when a) your watch doesn't natively display the remaining battery in days or b) when you want to force the value (for instance when your battery has lost some capacity).
OTHER SETTINGS
- daily calories goal: the "calories" arc is full when the goal is met
- base calories: daily base calories estimation
- enable movebar: when enabled, the minute-hand will turn red to indicate an active movebar
- use always-on color : colors for hands an marks in always-on-mode
- battery in days: shows remaining battery life in days (or percent). Not all devices have this feature
- scroll long locations: scroll long (chunked) location names
- show marks: Minute and hour marks will be shown. Disabling it can be useful for devices with physical marks on the watch case
- second hand: choose the type of the seconds hand
- minute hand: you can choose the refresh rate (default 60s, 10s, 12s, ...)

TROUBLE SHOOTING
---
- Temperature units: The temperature unit (F/C) can be set by either Watch Settings / System / Advanced / Format / Units / Temperature, or by Connect App / User Settings / Measurement Units. It depends on the watch model.
- In case of problems, please try to update your firmware and the watch face. Reinstall the watch face.
- When you see the blue IQ sign instead of the watch face after having installed a new submarine version : open the connect IQ app, change one of the settings (for example a color) and save the settings.
- The weather doesn't update (typically after a firmware update)? Start an outdoor activity with GPS.
- Still no weather update? Uninstall other recently installed apps: they can block background events and thus the weather update.
- After adding an OWM key please be patient
