Set this field to increase the font of fields Z1 to Z6 and for battery on left and permanents seconds on right.  You can increase or reduce font of each field. 'line 1 and line 2 independently)

explanation and the syntax. It's only for text, not for Icon with an another settings.

a number for the size + a separator ; X 14 for each Z1 to Z6 (line 1, line 2), battery on left, and seconds on right

Example 4;0; 4;1; 1;2; 4;0; 3;1; 1;2;   2;  2;  

Field 1 line 1 in font Large  ;Field 1 line 2 in extra tiny

Field 2 line 1 in font Large  ;Field 2 line 2 in tiny

Field 3 line 1 in tiny  ;Field 3 line 2 in font small

Field 4 line 1  in font Large  ;Field 4 line 2 in extra tiny

Field 5 line 1 in font small  ;Field 5 line 2 in tiny

Field 6 line 1 in font tiny  ;Field 6 line 2 in font Small

Battery in font Small, 

permanents seconds in font Small

If you do not respect these numbers and separators, the program reset the contains to its defaults 2;2;2;2;2;2;2;2;2;2;2;2;

This size represents the starting size of the font. Be careful though, my program will test the size and see if the display fits in the field. If the value to display is too large, then the program will reduce the font until it finds an ideal font. If you set too large a font and each time the value is too large to display in the field, the battery will drain faster.

If you enter a bad syntax, program reset your settings to a default

 Explaination of each position

After 5 trial days, fields Z2 to Z5 are reset to default.  Even if you change fields. After a small donation and a license, it is possible again.

1)Either you make a small donation

2)or you accept this constraint

3)or you delete this application

In the application settings, there is a parameter "Threshold below which the battery will display" that indicates that we only want to display the battery functions if it is below a threshold. 

Default is 100%. 

If you have set 50%, the battery will only be displayed if the charge is less than 50%. If your charge is over 50%, nothing will show on the watch.

Answer

The last GPS position is never saved in the watch. It is therefore not available for a watch face. The position is only kept one minute after the end of an activity.

It is therefore necessary to make a manipulation to be able to store it.

My watch face should be displayed on the watch

1) Start a running activity, outside your home and under a clear sky. Go outside to get a signal. This is very important, otherwise you risk having an incorrect position and therefore incorrect sunset and sunrise times.

2) As soon as the GPS is ready, start the activity

3) Long press the DOWN button on the watch, which will then display the time on a garmin face

4) return to the running activity (START button) and stop the running activity. Discard the activity

By returning to my watch face, the last GPS position will be recorded and can finally be used by the application (for the calculation of sunrise or sunset for example)

Answer 

The number of downloads and comments allow my app to be visible on the garmin store. The first pages are the most visited. You can make a donation if you love this watch face. Send me a picture of your watch with the watch face. If you make a review without a comment, Garmin destroys the review, so make a review with a comment. Thanks

If you have any problem with this watch face, it is better to message me on my mail riedid74@gmail.com than going through the review link on the store. We can then discuss and I will be able to better understand your problem to allow me to solve it.

Answer 

Sorry you’re having an ‘!’ issue, typically my apps are 99.99% bug free and the issue is a Connect App install issue .

This happens very often when you don't have the latest firmware version for your watch. 

First Search on web this text

GARMIN HOW TO DOWNLOAD THE LATEST FIRMWARE OF MY WATCH SUPPORT.GARMIN.COM

If problem persists, it's probably a bad installation on the watch

1.   Uninstall the app is crashing, restart the watch and reinstall the app.This typically corrects the incomplete installation error.

2.   Try  the second step using Garmin Express for installing apps 

3.   If problem persits connect your watch to a computer. Send me the file under <drive>/GARMIN/APPS/LOGS/ file CIQ_LOG.TXT or CIQ_LOG.YML. Send me this file and all your settings in several pictures. Without these informations, I can not make a diagnosis.

You must check several check box for units measurements

Answer 

The weather function needs your phone to work. Your watch must be connected to the phone and the garmin connect app must be started.

You may have different return codes depending on the situation.

??API1  indicates that the API call did not render proper information (currentWeather is null). Probably indicates that the watch is not connected to the phone, or that the garmin connect application is not launched, or that your phone does not have internet access. Lauch Garmin connect on your phone, verify your connection with your watch.

??API2 indicates that the API call did not render proper information (currentWeather.condition is null currrentWeather.temperature is null. Probably a failure of the Garmin site or in you position. Try to reboot your watch and try again.

??API3 indicates that the API call to know the GPS coordinates of the weather function did not render an appropriate code. Probably a blank area on Garmin

??API4 indicates that the API call to know the GPS location of the weather function did not render an appropriate code. Probably a blank area on Garmin

??API5 indicates that the forecast API call is not operational. Probably indicates that the watch is not connected to the phone, or that the garmin connect application is not launched, or that your phone does not have internet access. Stop start your BT on your phone. Or restart Garmin connect on your phone, or reboot your watch. Try again.

??API6 indicates that the forecast API call is not supported by your watch

??API7 indicates that the API call to know the GPS location of the weather function wind did not render an appropriate code. Probably a blank area on Garmin

??API8 indicates that the API call to know the GPS location of the weather function temperature High, low feellike did not render an appropriate code. Probably a blank area on Garmin

??API9 indicates that the API call to know relative humidityof the weather function   did not render an appropriate code. Probably a blank area on Garmin

??API10 indicates that the API call to know the precipitation chance of the weather function   did not render an appropriate code. Probably a blank area on Garmin

??API11 indicates that the API with Open Weather don't have the function in request. Example now my code doesn't have forecast in OWM.

??API12 or ?? indicates that the API with Open Weather, you don't hace an answer of the OWM API. Wait 10 minutes and try again.

Answer 

This case happens when a field is not correct, does not meet the constraints of my application. The problem is often with garmin connect on an IPHONE for a date validation, the fields in question are very often on count down dates or important date. Make the correction manually

Answer 

1) Permanent seconds mode is consuming because it operates every second and erases part of the screen

2) Don't turn the wrist every minute. are you a speed man ?

3)The most battery-intensive features

Some fields can consume the battery significantly. This is my personal interpretation in my code  BI    Battery Impact or IB in french sur Impact Batterie

No information= standard mpact on battery

BI1 (battery Impact 1)  smal impact on battery

BI2 (battery Impact 2)   impact on battery

BI3 (battery Impact 3)  significative impact on battery

BI4 (battery Impact 4)   high impact on battery

Answer 

 For watches with 64 colors, you can  draw icons in different colors. You must respect a special syntax  like this, otherwise my program make a reinit of the default color icons.  (a number for the color + a separator ; ) X 6 for each field.  

Example 0;48;3;55;9;60;    don't forget the last ;  No space between each number

Field 1 color 0 = BLACK Field 2 color 48 = RED

Field 3 color 3 = BLUE Field 3 color 55 = PINK

Field 5 color 9 = GREEN Field 6 color 60 = YELLOW

If you check "In Always On Display, display a similar display with some reductions BI3" . 

This option has a battery impact because I obscure the entire screen to respect Garmin constraints.
