Teko Big

Image
As promised, I will create a new watchface similar to Teko but with bigger fonts. And now the Teko Big is in the store. Link As I said to many users, bigger fonts typically mean less data. So in Teko Big you can add only 6 data, instead of 8 in Teko (if you turn off the graph). Besides, there is no graph in Teko Big, simply because there is no more space. One feature that is exclusive to Teko Big is the pressure trend icon. It's requested at the early stage of Teko but I'm not able to implement it until Teko Big. I've tried my best, but please keep in mind that it's still experimental, so contact me if the trend doesn't make sense. I'll integrate it into Teko if it's stable enough. One more thing, Teko Big is FREE to all Teko supporters. They share the same pro code, so enjoy it if you already have the code.

Basic AOD on FR255

As requested by many users, the lovely 'Basic AOD' screen is available to all devices in update 1.0.8. It displays just the date/time and battery level and is super battery-saving.  To activate it, just toggle on the option 'Basic AOD' on the app settings page, and the screen will show when the watch is in sleeping mode.

Settings reset

In the update 2.0.0, the settings of Teko will be reset to default, as there are too many changes under the hood which is incompatible with the new settings.  You will have to reconfigure the watchface. I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. You will need to reinstall the watchface in case the update causes a crash on your watch. What has been changed and why? With more and more features requested by users and more and more settings being added, the memory footprint of settings quickly reaches the 4KB limit.  This limit exists on many old devices and seems be to higher on new devices. When the limit is reached, many strange things may happen, including settings lost, unable to save settings, random crashes, etc. So I cleaned up all the settings and made them more compact to save memory. In the meantime, a deep code cleanup was done in the last few weeks too. Eventually, those claims about 3KB of memory, which is really a lot. So after the settings and code cleanup, it wi...

How to show your logo on Nova watchface

In addition to the beautiful design and rich customization, another interesting feature of Nova is that you can use your own logo on the watchface. You can put any logo/image on your watch, like your favorite club, national flags, or superheroes. Barcelona logo on Nova watchface How to add your logo? It's really simple. Just open the settings page, change the 'Logo' option to 'Use My Logo', put your logo link in the 'My Logo Url', tap the 'Save' button, and wait for the logo to be downloaded.   The logo will be downloaded in the background and will try again if it's failed at the interval as the 'Weather update interval'.  So please change the 'Weather update interval' to 5 min if you can't see the logo. The watchface can't perform authentication by any means, so please make sure the image can be accessed anonymously using the link. Log size The watchface doesn't check the image dimension, so in theory, you can image...

Garbled date after updating firmware 16.22

Image
 Recently some customers reported that the Futura watchface can't display the date anymore after updating the firmware to 16.22. The text is garbled and what you will see is one or more small boxes.  As a workaround, I added a new option 'Use System Font for Date'. Please turn it on in case you see the garbled date. I've reported the bug to Garmin, and it's something with the localized resource loading. https://forums.garmin.com/developer/connect-iq/i/bug-reports/bug-tactix-7-doesn-t-load-the-localized-resource-after-upgrading-firmware-to-16-22 Known affected devices: tactix 7 Fenix 7 Pro
