Garmin Watch Face that was inspired by the design of the Vivomove series, adding extra features that will be very useful for my daily type of usage (more health related than activity tracking) and focusing on maximizing battery life.
- Analog hands for Hour and Minutes, but not for Seconds to mimic Vivomove HR (and save battery). Design menu has a toggle for thinner, standard or thicker hands (around 20-30% difference between each);
- Current Date with day of the week and Month;
- Garmin Logo that can be hidden on the watch face's config menu;
- Battery indicator with symbol changing colors depending on battery left: Red (less than or equal to 20%), Yellow (between 21 and 40%) and Green (greater than 40%). The text can be displayed as remaining % or estimated number of days until running out;
- Bluetooth indicator: Blue (connected to the phone) or grey (not connected);
- Alarm indicator: Accent color (at least one alarm active) or grey (no alarms);
- Do not Disturb indicator (only shown when mode is activate, also activated during sleep hours);
- Location name of the source of weather data (if available), that can be hidden on the watch face's config menu;
- Current weather condition icon;
- Temperature indicator (if available) in Celsius or Fahrenheit (also dependent on watch's selected units display). The temperature number will become blue when that is the minimum temperature for the day, as well as orange when that is the maximum;
- Colored Tickmarks following selected accent color. Can be turned on and off (showing gray tickmarks);
- Colored AOD Mode: gives the user the option of seeing the AOD mode hands and tickmarks in grayscale or full color (thanks filmo003 for the code);
- Notifications count: Accent color if at least one notification is available or grey if no unread notifications;
- Heart Rate data, showing last available value (not updated every second when not doing an activity, to save battery) and a symbol that is presented with colors from 7 different rate zones, set up by the user on the watch main settings (Settings - User Profile - Heart Rate - Zones - Based On). Color palette for each zone: Resting / Light Load = grey, Moderate Effort = blue, Weight Control = green, Aerobic = yellow, Anaerobic = orange, High effort = light red and Speed = bright red;
- Calories burned;
- Steps: Shows the number of steps on the current day and icon color will also change to the selected Accent when steps goal has been met;
- Blood oxygen percentage: will display the current pulse ox if the sensor is active all the time. However, if sensor is activated only while sleeping or on ad-hoc measurements, data point will show last available value. Color palette doesn't follow accent color and is based on 5 zones: Healthy = green, Normal = blue, Low = yellow, Brain Dysfunction = orange, Cyanosis = red;
- Floors climbed count: Icon will be displayed in grey until floors climbed goal has been met, changing to the Accent color of choice;
- Precipitation percentage: The current chance of rain/snow precipitation (0-100%), with blue tones color palette based on 4 zones: Low = light blue, Moderate = blue, High = dark blue, Very High = purple;
- Humidity percentage: The current relative humidity (0-100%), with color palette based on 3 levels: Healthy = green, Fair = yellow, Poor = red;
- Atmospheric Pressure: The current barometer read in hPa/millibars or calibrated mean at sea-level, with color palette based on 3 levels: High-pressure = blue, Normal = Gray, Low-pressure = orange;
- Solar intensity percentage: Describes the solar sensor's charge efficiency, only available on Solar Charged watches. It will change colors based on 5 different UV intensity zones: Low = green, Moderate = yellow, High = orange, Very High = red, Extreme = violet;
- Intensity Minutes per week: The current number of intensity minutes (moderate + 2x vigorous) during the current week. Symbol will turn from grey to the accent color as soon as the weekly intensity minutes goal is reached;
- Seconds: Available as a data field, will display seconds count of the current time;
- VO2 Max from Running or Cycling (available and 2 separate data fields);
- Body Battery;
- Stress Level;
- Respiration Rate;
- Recovery Time in hours;
- Min/Max Temperature forecasted for the day (only available on the left top and middle data points);
- Wind speed: Current wind speed in km/h or mph (depending on watch's pace unit settings), or m/s if selected on the watch face's settings (only available on the left top and middle data points);
- Elevation (altitude above mean sea level in meters): Derived from the most accurate source (Barometer or GPS) in order of descending accuracy. If no GPS is present, then barometer readings will be used (only available on the left top and middle data points);
- Distance walked/ran on the day (km or miles, dependent on watch's selected unit on general config): Icon will be displayed in grey until steps goal has been met, changing to the Accent color of choice (only available on the left top and middle data points);
- Battery Consumption per day since last charge, displayed in average%/day. For this to work, you need to be using the MoveToBeActive watch face when charging your watch, or else the displayed consumption percentage might be incorrect (with impossible figures) or not shown.
