PAGE 1 to the left and when you turn the wrist PAGE 2 to the right. In the settings you can set only page 1 even when you turn your wrist

With GARMIN CONNECT on your phone or GARMIN EXPRESS on a computer, you can set up the application and customize it

Descriptions and explanation for all settings you can make in the application. All changes ares described here

WF4COOL application number

Example V=12.8.0 A=512114

This field indicates the version of my application WF4COOL (12.8.0) , and the reference in all my applications(A=512114). I recommend always having the latest version of the app. To have the latest features, but also the latest corrections. All updates are completely free for the watch reference you registered.

Watch reference (unchangeable by the user). This field indicates the exact reference of your watch in the form BXXYY. This field is updated by my program when you display my dial on the watch. This is why when you modify the parameters by Garmin Express, this field may not be filled in, as well as the FREE VERSION/ PREMIUM VERSION field because the face is not active on the watch when you connect the watch to a computer.

EXAMPLE: If you see B4314 in the field, you will need to select in my form EPIX2 PRO 51mm REF B4314 (ALL REF1)

What is your version type (unchangeable by the user). This field indicates the version type of the application. This field is updated by my program when you display my watch face on the watch. That is why when you change the settings through Garmin Express, this field cannot be changed, so the FREE VERSION/PREMIUM VERSION field will not be able to be updated because the watch face is not active on the watch when you connect the watch to a computer.

EXAMPLE: You enter the license with Garmin Express and after checking, you still have the FREE VERSION displayed. This is completely normal, because it is my program that will update the field. When the watch is connected to a computer, my program is not active. By disconnecting the watch from the computer, my program will be able to update the field. This is why I recommend making the settings changes via Garmin connect on the phone because in this case the dial rotates on the watch and you will see the change immediately

Your API key (only for users with a license)

This app uses its own API key to call up the weather site. However, it is common to all users of my watch faces. It is a free license, but it has a certain number of rights of use in a minute, in a day and in a month. If this limit is exceeded, then the weather site will return a 429 error (too much use in the same period)

You will then need to use your own key.

To do this you must go to the site https://home.openweathermap.org/users/sign_up and create your own API key.

All of this is free on open weather site

Make this creation, validate the registration and then enter the API key of 32 characters in the API area of my application.
