About
***** This watchface and its features is free of charge. That being said, if you like my work and think hundreds of hours spent in development deserves a donation i' ll be happy to accept a beer (or a shot of whiskey) here: https://paypal.me/TDrahovzal Thank you in advance.
**** Newer version (Beta) with more features available here: https://apps.garmin.com/en-US/apps/15c35159-bae3-4c12-8539-5305ccd1b933
*** There is an issue with Garmin CIQ app which is not able to cope with amount of settings available. Configuration via Garmin Mobile/Garmin Express app should work fine.
** Update to the latest firmware, some features will not work with old ones

I started to work on this as a personal experiment weeks back due to my favorite watch face not supporting F6 series, sharing it with friends only. Intention is to give the user as much configuration options as possible within the Garmin Mobile app.
All visible data types, its placement, fonts, colors etc. can be configured for label/value object separately. Watch has currently data i typically use, more objects can be added in next releases if someone requests them.
Although it was not the original plan after being asked by more and more people to publish it, i am doing so. Be aware by no means i am a programmer. Therefore, while learning on the go, there may be bugs regardless all runs fine on my watch. Patience in case of glitches may be required. I will try to fix them as fast as i can.
In case something does not work, please use forum link above. You can also use contact developer link in that case provide your email address, without it there is no way i can reach back to you.
Q&A:
Why there are so many settings available? It is hard to navigate through them.
Idea behind this watchface is to have everything configurable from the phone. Sending watchface user defined parameters such as color, font and screen placement through app settings is the only available option in Garmin CIQ at this moment. Amount of settings is a tax for having all objects fully configurable by the user.
Why are my settings changes not reflected on WatchFace ?
It seems this issue is tied to Garmin CIQ app which is not bale handle huge amount of settings corectly. When settings are done through Android/iOS Garmin Mobile app all should work as expected.
Will be there Weather details available ?
Yes, as soon as i will figure out a way how to limit memory utilization during the settings change phase. While app itself runs fine with a lot of memory available it is not the case at the moment settings are changed (memory consumption almost triples). With current amount of settings i am too close to the watch limit.
Why is my language not supported i see only squares instead of characters ?
During short life time of this face 26 custom fonts have been already requested and implemented. Fonts consume a lot of available resources, therefore characters are limited to the absolute minimum = english characters and numbers only. Languages with 'special' characters such as czech, russian, japanese etc. cannot be supported until more resources will be available to watchfaces.
