Description
The core principles of this watch face are good design, meaningful configurability, and efficiency. Portal Hybrid allows for full on-device configuration, including colour themes and data fields, through the same native interface used in Garmin’s own faces. This allows for deeper customisation whil
What's New
3.3: Users on Solar / MIP devices can expect a noticeable improvement in colour presentation across the board. In this update, we have hand-picked the colours to match AMOLED on SOLAR. • 2 new accent colours: Rotten Cherry, Cobalt • new Monochrome option for a true black and white experience (heavily requested by users moving from solar to AMOLED, and those who prefer a cleaner look) • any color theme can now have its minute marks set to monochromatic independently, bringing extra contrast without changing the overall palette • improved second hand rendering: better battery efficiency on solar watches when the second hand is set to always on • misc bug fixes and performance improvements If you enjoy Portal Hybrid, please consider leaving a review of this update: Ratings go a long way: they help us continue designing, developing and bringing new watch faces to life. 3.2: • wind direction GMT hand option (by popular request): the GMT hand can now track wind direction, giving you real-time wind heading at a glance • seconds hand colour menu expanded: all accent colours are now available for the seconds hand, available in the "Customize" menu • misc bug fixes and performance improvements 3.1.1: • improved settings text to make configuration clearer • miscellaneous bug fixes and performance improvements 3.1: • improved alternative time zone menu: expanded destination support • fixed an issue where digital time could fall out of sync with analog time on certain devices • added a phone-connection icon toggle (for users who prefer to keep the phone disconnected) • squashed several minor bugs and stability issues 3.0: • major performance and memory optimisations: A comprehensive internal refactor improves responsiveness, reduces memory usage, and further extends battery efficiency, especially on devices with more limited resources. • faster and more accurate tide complication: Significantly expanded tide coverage: From 41 to 127 tide stations with improved global distribution. 2.2: • additional performance tuning for even better battery life • improved stability on devices with smaller memory budgets • empty data fields now stay truly empty (no more placeholder dashes) Pro Tip: long-press the centre of the watch face to briefly hide the hands 2.1.1: • fixed an issue that could show an incorrect temperature when OWM was just disabled • fixed a couple of rare crashes 2.1: • added phone-connection loss indicator (activates only when the watch is disconnected from the phone) • new second-hand colour option: Racing Yellow • added “battery in days” toggle (available in the Customise menu) • fixed a crash affecting Venu 4 devices during the customisation process 2.0: The last two months have been incredibly exciting: with all your feedback, Portal Hybrid has grown into a rich and highly configurable watch face. To preserve our core principles of good design, configurability, and best-in-class efficiency, version 2.0 marks the final large feature release. Supporting this increasing complexity across both MIP and AMOLED devices while keeping the watch face efficient is becoming more challenging, so future updates will focus on stability, refinements, and compatibility with the latest Garmin SDK and watch models rather than new features. new features: • OpenWeatherMap integration (temperature, humidity, pressure, wind, conditions) OWM key can be entered through the Connect IQ watch face settings • progress-ring visibility control: Only When Active / Always On / Always Off • new date mode: weekday + battery percentage • new accent colour: Verdant Circuit • new night mode colours: Linen Taupe, Woodland Camouflage, Desert Camouflage, Ultra Orange • new second-hand colour option: Amp Yellow • option to permanently disable the second hand
