Description

A new version of Crystal is out! Check out **Crystal Reborn** here: https://apps.garmin.com/apps/f3c3d2d3-6efa-49da-bdab-329cdf37b70f **If you enjoy using Crystal, you can support my work with a tip:** https://www.paypal.com/ncp/payment/QF2TPC9BRC9A8 **FAQs, including how to change watch face settings:** https://github.com/warmsound/crystal-face/wiki/FAQ A crystal clear watch face, with LCD-like goal meter segments, written while snow crystals were falling during an unusually cold spell of weather here in England. Features (depending on watch support): - Big time digits right in the middle, with hours in bold. Leading zero and seconds can be hidden. Hours and minutes colours can be set independently. - Up to 3 customisable data fields: HR (historical/live), battery, notifications, calories, distance, alarms, altitude, thermometer, sunrise/sunset, weather (OpenWeatherMap). - Up to 3 customisable indicators: Bluetooth, alarms, notifications, Bluetooth/notifications, battery. - 2 customisable meters: steps, floors climbed, active minutes (weekly), battery, calories (custom goal). The meters have auto-scaling segments and current/target value display. - Move bar. - 12 colour themes. The techie bit: to save your watch battery, the goal meters and move bar are drawn from a palette-restricted back buffer, for improved drawing performance, with minimal memory penalty. This is my first ever Connect IQ watch face (please be kind!), so I look forward to your feedback, improving the watch face, and bringing it to more devices.
