Description
Something not working or not right for you? Instead of a low rating, press "Contact developer" on this page and I will fix it, usually within 24 hours. I am a student and build these faces after classes. If you like it, the QR code in the settings lets you buy me a coffee. A military-style tactical digital watch face with hexagon frames, a large time, eight data fields, weather and a ZULU box with UTC time. 7 days free, then a one-time code for 4.49 EUR at dialforge.dev. No subscription. A tactical digital watch face with hexagon frames. A large time inside a long hexagon, the minutes in your accent colour and small seconds on the side. Around it: weather at the top, two fields above the time, three under it, sunrise and sunset, and a ZULU box with UTC time at the bottom. The face has two colour sets. On AMOLED screens the colours are bright on deep black. On MIP screens (fenix 7, fenix 6, Forerunner 245/255 and others) it uses matte, muted tones from the 64-colour palette and thicker lines, so it stays readable in sunlight. By default it shows temperature with a weather icon, altitude, calories, steps, heart rate, battery, sunrise, sunset and ZULU time. Each of the 8 fields can show any of 34 kinds of data, including energy level, stress, pulse ox, pressure, distance, floors, VO2 max, sleep score, wind, humidity, UV index, chance of rain and a countdown to a date you pick. A field can also stay empty. You can also set: - the accent colour: green, orange, blue, red or sand, - minutes in the accent colour or white, - the time size, the seconds (larger, always on or on wrist raise on MIP screens), the data position and the background pattern on MIP screens, - text size in the data fields: standard, large or maximum (not on the 96 KB watches), centred, - the town the weather comes from under the temperature at the top (name from Garmin weather or the nearest city), can be turned off, - hexagon frames, minute marks and field labels on or off, - the bottom box: ZULU (UTC) or a second time zone, a data field, or off, - the label at the bottom: your watch model, your own text (up to 16 characters, typed in the Connect IQ app) or nothing, - the thresholds where the battery turns orange and red, - how long weather data counts as current. The phone sends the weather and the face cannot force a refresh, so older data shows as "--", - the always-on screen on AMOLED: whole face dimmed (default), time with date, time only or off, - the pressure unit (hPa, inHg, mmHg or automatic) and a short name for the countdown, - the date language (13 languages), time format and leading zero. On touchscreen watches, press and hold a field to open its screen. Everything can also be changed on the watch in Customize, with a live preview on most watches. Some features are not available on older watches with little memory. Works on 101 Garmin watches: fenix 5 Plus to fenix 9, epix, Enduro, MARQ and MARQ 2, D2, Descent (also Mk2), Approach S50 and S70, Legacy, Forerunner 165 to 970, Venu (also Venu Sq), vivoactive 4 to 6 and Instinct 3 AMOLED. On the square Venu Sq, Venu Sq 2 and Venu X1 the round face sits mid-screen. On fenix 6S, fenix 5 Plus, Forerunner 245/745/945, Descent Mk2 S, Venu Sq and MARQ (first generation) the second time zone is not available, the box shows UTC. The face asks for location access only to calculate sunrise and sunset on the watch, to tell day from night for the weather icon and to find the nearest city for the name under the temperature. It sends nothing to the internet. Trial: the face works fully for 7 days. In the last 3 days the number of days left appears at the bottom. After that the face shows your Watch ID and dialforge.dev. Buy a code for that number and enter it in the Connect IQ app, in the face settings (Unlock code). Code not working? Write to kontakt@dialforge.dev and I will fix it or refund you. If the face is useful to you, you can buy me a coffee: buycoffee.to/iwannaflysohigh
