What is new
IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
If your watch shows IQ! right after this update, switch to any other watch face and back. It happens when Garmin's store updates a face that is running, and it is not a fault of your watch. If it comes back, send me CIQ_LOG.YML from GARMIN/APPS/LOGS through Contact Developer.
V1.7
- Weekly chart: a past day that met its goal draws its bar in the theme colour, and a day that missed it stays grey, so the week reads at a glance (a user request, thank you)
- New setting, Heart icon colour (LOOK section): Red (the default), Theme accent or White, for the heart rate, resting HR and high HR icons (a user request)
- The pill under the time can now hold a metric with its icon: UV Index, Body Battery, Stress, Battery, Floors, Heart Rate, Pulse Ox, Respiration, Temperature or Recovery Time. The pill widens a little for it; Weekday, Seconds and Month stay as they were (a user request)
- The date chip at the top is wider, and when the pill under the time is not showing the weekday the chip draws the complete date, WED 28 OCT, at a size that fits (a user request)
- Recovery Time can sit on the three rings, the progress rail and the arc. New setting, Recovery ring scale: 24, 48, 72 or 96 h (the default) is the recovery that fills the ring (a user request)
- High HR, Today keeps a peak it showed live through its five-minute history re-read, so the high is never lower than a reading you saw on the dial
- New setting, Date format (LOOK section) for the date chip at the top and the date on the always-on page: Automatic (the default, the date you have now), 28 OCT, OCT 28, WED 28 OCT, WED OCT 28, WED 28, 28/10, 10/28, 28.10 or 2026-10-28. On the always-on page a format too wide for the glass there draws as 28 OCT
- The icon in the pill under the time is larger
V1.6
- Fixed: a weather field, such as wind direction or temperature, could change to another field overnight and stay changed until you saved your settings again. It happened when the face started before your watch had fresh weather. Your choice now comes back by itself as soon as the weather arrives (an email report, thank you)
- New setting, Field text size: Small (the default, the size you have now) or Large, which draws the four plate fields and the Arc layout's extra fields one size up with the plate's icon and value centred (a user request, thank you)
- Totals draw in full, 1834 and not 1.8K, for calories, active calories, intensity and the goal fields
- When a reading is too wide for its field, the unit drops before any digit does
- Both halves of the progress arc light the same number of ticks
- Instinct 3 AMOLED: Sleep Score is no longer offered, because the watch does not share it with watch faces
V1.5
- New always-on page: Time, date, notifications. The time, the date and your notification count with its icon, for a glance at the phone without a wrist turn (a Facebook request)
- New fields: Second Time Zone (pick a UTC offset, always shown beside its globe; summer time is not applied), Train Time, Week (the time of the activities saved on your watch over the last 7 days) and High HR, Today
- The rings now take Resting HR and High HR, Today, so current, resting and high heart rate can sit side by side (an email request)
- 15 new solid themes on AMOLED watches, coral among them, and gradient themes now run their gradient along the progress rail and the week's top bar. New setting: Hour leading zero (off shows 9:49, and the data beside the time moves in)
- New UNITS section: temperature, distance, elevation, pressure (hPa, inHg, mmHg), weight, wind (km/h, m/s, mph, knots) and intensity (minutes or hours), each following your watch or set your own
Please use Contact Developer if something looks off on your watch and I'll get on it right away. Thank you.
