A:The watchface uses the system preferences for the configuration of:

• 12/24h
• First Day of the Week (*)
• Temperature units (ºC/ºF)
• Speed units (except wind)
• Distance units
• Elevation units

You can change these settings in the main menu of your device, in system preferences.

The rest of the watchface settings can be configured from three different apps:

• GARMIN Connect Mobile (mobile phone app)
• GARMIN ConnectIQ Mobile Store (mobile phone app)
• GARMIN Express (PC desktop application)

Following, there is an useful link that explains how to configure the watchface settings in each of these apps:

🔗 Garmin forums: Changing your App Settings

(*) In some models, this setting cannot be find in the device menu, but in the GARMIN Connect Mobile app > User settings. Remember to synchronyze the app with your device for the setting to take effect.

A:Please, note that the watchface settings only work for registered users. If that is the case and you would like to register, please visit the section Unlock for further details.

If you have registered, you have got your Unlock Code and the settings are still not working, chances are that you have misspelled any letter or number either entering the Unlock Code, or in the Install ID that you have provided us. Check also that you have not added a "space" character in the begining or the end. Remember to mind the case. Please, doble check.

NOTE: The Unlock Code that we provide by email must be entered in the settings menu of the watchface to take effect.

A:The watchface uses the 6bit palette of available colors for the time color configuration. As the interface in the mobile phone does not allow to show the color while configuring, and just the name, we have included here the full list for your convenience:

A:We have designed the watchface code with real obsession in being efficient and preserving battery life. And also we have put a lot of effort and made uncountable iterations optimizing it. This effort has resulted in a watchface with low battery usage, in comparison with other watchfaces showing the same amount of data.

On top of that, we also have implemented further optimizations in the drawing routines that significantly save even more power when they are activated. This results in an extended battery life, much better than any other watchface that we have tested.

However, these optimizations, even they work without a glitch on most devices, seem to produce artifacts in some of them. So if you experience any annoying glitch int the screen, please deactivate this option. But if everything works OK, or the glitches are minor and not annoying, you can activate it and benefit from an further extended battery life.

A:Please check if you have “Optimized drawing” setting activated. For further details, please read question before.

A:The week number is calculated using a different system depending on the configuration of the first day of the week(*):

• Monday: The ISO 8601 system is used. It defines week 01 as the week with the first Thursday of the Gregorian year (i.e. of January) in it. So if 1st Jan is Friday, Saturday or Sunday, it is part of the last week of the previous year. This system is mostly used in Europe.

• Saturday, Sunday: Week 01 starts the 1st Jan, no matter which day of the week this happens to be. This system is mostly used in USA, Canada, Mexico, Australia and Middle East.

(*) Please, check the first question to learn where to configure the "first day of the week" for your device model.

A:The watchface uses the device GPS information to show or calculate some of the data that it displays.

If your watch does not have proper GPS data, you will be getting a "No GPS"/ "No GPS data" message. To solve this problem, you can start an activity like running, wait for GPS green signal, discard the activity, and then go back to the watchface.

Your GPS location data will last for some time and also the device will automatically try to update it from time to time. But if it happens that you stay a lot indoors, or do not start an activity regularly, chances are that you loose the GPS location data and the warning message will appear.

A:The watchface uses GARMIN Weather Services as its data source. GARMIN devices using this service request weather data once every 20 minutes at most. This is “as is” and cannot be manually changed.

For your convenience, the watchface displays the last weather data update time in the watchface settings menu.

A:The watchface uses GARMIN Weather Services as its data source. The GARMIN Connect app manages the weather information sent to your device, and it allows you to choose between your phone's current location or from a fixed location that you choose from a map within the app.

To change the GARMIN Weather Service Location, open the GARMIN Connect app in your mobile phone and navigate in the main menu to:

• Settings > User settings > Weather Location. From there you will be able to choose from either your phone location or a fixed location.

A:The watchface uses GARMIN weather services as its data source to display weather information and the location name.

The weather data is gathered from the GARMIN Connect Mobile app in your mobile phone from the internet, and it is sent to the watch in every update.

If you have any issue with weather data or the location name or the location position is most of the times because of the set up of your GARMIN Connect Mobile app. And please, do not be confused with Garmin ConnectIQ Mobile Store, as they have similar names. The app that matters for weather data is GARMIN Connect Mobile app, the one that tracks your activities and your performance. That's the one that gathers weather data and sends it to your watch.

If you have any issue with it, the watchface can be displaying:

• “Unknow location”/ “No data” as location name.
• Bad or faulty weather data ("--")
• A “No weather data! - check connection!" message.

If it is the case, please check the following, which should resolve most issues:

1. Confirm that both mobile phone and GARMIN device bluetooth settings are turned on.

2. Confirm the GARMIN device is paired and connected to the phone through the GARMIN Connect Mobile app.

3. Make sure the GARMIN Connect Mobile app is open. For Apple phones, for example, the app can be minimized, but must remain open in the background to receive weather information. In general, you have to make sure that it has permissions to be running in the background. And also check that you are not using any task killer that prevents GARMIN Connect Mobile app from runnig in the background.

4. Make sure that your device has recent GPS data. You can start an activity like running, step outdoors and wait for GPS green signal. You can discard the activity later on.

5. Check that your mobile phone has internet data connection

6. Confirm that your mobile phone Location Services are turned on. Also, check that GARMIN Connect Mobile app has enabled permission to get location info from your phone Location Services.

Also, to help you troubleshoot the problems you can check the following information:

• The last weather data update time: The watchface displays it in the watchface settings menu.
• The weather information in GARMIN’s own Weather Widget: The watchface shares the same API and data provider as GARMIN’s own Weather Widget. So you can use it to test if the watchface is displaying the same data as in the widget.

The tips in this link may also help you to troubleshoot some problems:

🔗 Garmin Support: Weather

Remember that if you have faulty or no weather data, or a bad location name, everything will come back to normal as soon as your device gets good data. So don’t panic and just follow the tips. There is no need to reboot the device or uninstall/reinstall the watchface. The watchface in the end just shows the data it gets.

Also, you can set a fixed location if for some reason you cannot have location services active in your mobile phone or do not want to give permissions to share the location with the app. This topic is discussed in the previous question.

Apart from that, just say that we are planning to add another weather provider (OpenWeather) to the watchface, for your convenience.

A:The watchface let you choose different options for the wind representation:

1. Wind bearing/direction representation: The term "wind direction" is defined as the compass heading FROM which the wind is blowing. This is in contrast to the term "bearing," which indicates the direction TOWARD which an object is moving. So if on your location you have, for example, wind blowing from the North (and going towards the South):

   • If you select “Wind direction” (FROM) the watchface should represent a “N” in the wind indicator.
   • If you select “Wind bearing” (TOWARDS) the watchface should represent a “S” in the wind indicator.

2. Wind arrow points where: Using the data from the last example:

   • If you select the arrow to point "where wind blows FROM" the watchface should represent an arrow pointing to the N, as the wind is coming FROM the N and going to the S.
   • If you select the arrow to point “TO where wind blows” (TOWARDS) the watchface should represent an arrow pointing to the S, as the wind is coming from the N and going TOWARDS the S.

Also, as an example, note that wind representation in GARMIN's weather widget show "wind direction".

A:The watchface is coded with the latest Garmin 3.2.x SDK, and it happens that Garmin is not (still) supporting this new framework and making it compatible in the firmware for older (and not that older) devices. We hope that they do anytime soon via firmware upgrade. But nothing is confirmed.

But… we are working on a code path to make it compatible with older devices… so in the near future we will release a compatible version.
