Zen Watch
· v1.5
About
Zen Watch Face provides a simple and minimalist look in style of a Japanese brush. If needed, it can also display various additional fields. These fields can be displayed on the main screen, or only on the second screen. The second screen appears only when you look at the device (turn your wrist). The displayed time can change color, if you are inactive (and Garmin move bar is triggered). The main idea behind the watch face is to provide a clean user experience, but functionality when needed.
Currently, the following settings can be configured:
- Background color
- Clock color – called active
- Clock color when inactive between 60 – 120 minutes (Garmin move bar level 1 – 4) – called warning
- Clock color when inactive for more than 120 minutes (Garmin move bar level 5) – called inactive
- Color of other text fields
- Up to 2 text fields on the main screen
- Up to 4 text fields on the second screen (activated when you look at the device)
Text fields currently support:
- None (turned off)
- Date
- Steps
- Step goal in percent
- Battery status in percent
- Walked distance in km
IMPORTANT - HOW TO CONFIGURE THE WATCHFACE:
You need to use the Garmin Connect application on your smart phone - there you have customization options, where you can modify settings of all watchfaces - it is the same for every watchface with configurable settings. You have to go to menu and select: Garmin Devices / Your device / Appearance / Watch Faces / Zen Watch and there should be three options: Uninstall, View in store and Settings - just select Settings and there is the configuration.
If you want to uninstall the watchface, you need to select a different watchface as your active one first.
Updated version of the watchface (Zen Minimalist) for newer devices is available at: https://apps.garmin.com/en-US/apps/ae65d625-c1c4-4a9c-a720-7879420e79f7
