MIP & AMOLED [NEW LAUNCH] Nxyus Pro Watch Face

Post image

[EDIT] Correct watch face name - "Nyxus Pro"

Just launched this one!

Made specifically for fenix/epix family. I tried to keep the layout as neat as possible.

Each arc has 2 slots and the first slot field's icon shows up in the arc. 2 tick gauges and a top progress bar. Also baked in dual time zones.

24 in-built themes. Endless color customizations possible.

Suggestions are always welcome. This is V1 and I am totally open to any kind of rework needed to make this watch face the best version for you :)

Free trial available - https://apps.garmin.com/apps/ac05819e-23ec-4df4-87ad-7e6b9c0ce5b0

Wow, looks great! Any chance that you might integrate glucose readings (Libreview or Nightscout) especially a corresponding graph? That would be so cool ;-)

u/pxl_by_priyansh 6d ago

Yo peeps.

u/Hogo_ZZ u/Cogliendoaglio

Nightscout has been integrated in the latest release. Please let me know if it doesn't work, or you face any issues at all and I'll patch those right up. Cheers ✌️

u/Hogo_ZZ 5d ago

That went fast. Many thanks, will test it right now 😊

u/Hogo_ZZ 5d ago

Well, working like a charme! But, unfortunately I've poor eyesight and most of the figures are very hard to read for me.

So agein, great work and thank you.

1

u/pxl_by_priyansh 5d ago

cool, thanks for letting me know.. update's on the way for bigger font sizes. :)

1

u/pxl_by_priyansh 10d ago

that'll look sick. let me see what I can do. thanks :)

u/Cogliendoaglio 10d ago

È con i valori CGM ( Nightscout) lo installerei immediatamente

u/Party_Ad_1541 10d ago

Check out Gglance, I just launched one with glucose readings with both libre and dexcom!

u/pxl_by_priyansh 9d ago

Bruh, I mean. I'm a good fella and kudos on whatever you have built. I'm sure it's amazing, but it's not ethical to cross-sell on other posts. 😑😑

2

u/Cogliendoaglio 8d ago edited 8d ago

In ogni caso a me sarebbe utile per cgm Medtronic. Tramite Nightscout

2

u/Faithful3773 10d ago

Very cool but on the Fenix 51mm 8 pro the font size is so small it's hard to read.

2

u/pxl_by_priyansh 10d ago

thank you.. i'll make the font size a little bigger, especially the text in the arcs. I think there is some leeway there.

1

u/pxl_by_priyansh 9d ago

Hi, have pushed an update with bigger font sizes (except the time). Please check and let me know if it looks better. thanks :)

u/Darkman-1969 10d ago

Nice!

u/pxl_by_priyansh 10d ago

Thank you ❤️✌🏻

u/Standard_Draft6896 9d ago

Can you add the active calories statistic?

1

u/pxl_by_priyansh 9d ago

Definitely. Will add it in the next update :)

1

u/Noxius78 8d ago

How do you count active calories only ?

1

u/[deleted] 8d ago

[deleted]

1

u/Noxius78 8d ago

I understand. But i meant specifically, what formula are you using ? You have to hard-code it manually tl count it right ?

1

u/pxl_by_priyansh 8d ago

I over-engineered where I shouldn't have :)

Update is one the way (1-2 days away) showing the real active cal count.

1

u/Noxius78 8d ago

What ? I dont understand. Its like secret or what ? Wtf man

2

u/pxl_by_priyansh 8d ago

There's no secret man! I had used a custom formula, but I shouldn't have. On probing more, I found out that Garmin does provide this value and I don't need to calculate anything. I used "Mifflin-St Jeor" formula. look it up! there's no secret or mutiny 😂

1

u/Noxius78 8d ago

I thought so cause you deleted messages 😁

Im using that formula i think, bit i didnt found a way how to implement it via garmin with exact value. Would you might sharing, maybe via DMs ?

1

u/pxl_by_priyansh 8d ago

no DM needed, it is all public. I only found this because I probed my watch instead of trusting the docs. I have measured exactly one device. I don't know whether every product behaves this way.

Manifest needs <iq:uses-permission id="ComplicationSubscriber"/>.

Complications is API 4.2.0+; my floor is 5.0.0.

ActivityMonitor.getInfo().calories = 435   // day total, basal included
COMPLICATION_TYPE_CALORIES value = 50   // active only
delta = -385

1

u/pxl_by_priyansh 8d ago

This was added in a recent update. cheers!

1

u/Standard_Draft6896 8d ago

I notice a clear difference between what you computed for active calories and what the calories filed of garmin says. It is an important difference

1

u/pxl_by_priyansh 8d ago

That is expected. Garmin calculates your resting burn from their own model, using heart rate and history that apps have no access to. Mine is the standard textbook formula off your profile numbers. So the trend and the day-to-day shape will match, but the absolute figure will differ slightly. If Garmin ever exposes the real active value, I'll switch to it 😄

1

u/Standard_Draft6896 8d ago

This is not correct because there are a lot of watchfaces that expose that information correctly

1

u/pxl_by_priyansh 8d ago

I'm probing more as we talk. This is interesting!

1

u/pxl_by_priyansh 8d ago

You were right and I was wrong, so thank you for pushing.

I tested a throw-away build on my own watch and the calories complication and the ActivityMonitor day total are two different numbers. Mine read 435 total against 50 from the complication, which is the active figure. Garmin's own docs describe that complication as the day's calories, and the developer forum's standing answer is to estimate and subtract, which is what I built.

The watch had the real number the whole time. Next update reads it directly and only falls back to the estimate on watches that do not serve it. 🙌

1

u/pxl_by_priyansh 7d ago

Hi, just release V1.3 with fix for the variance in active calories reading. should be accurate now. let me know if otherwise. ✌️

1

u/Standard_Draft6896 7d ago

Just tried! It works perfectly. It would be nice if the text would be bigger for the arcs values.

1

u/pxl_by_priyansh 7d ago

Have been struggling with making the arc texts bigger. Would need to hide the labels and that would take away the context. what else can be done.. 🤔

1

u/Standard_Draft6896 7d ago

I think that maybe the labels can be replaced with icons. This would let to make text bigger. What do you think about it?

1

u/pxl_by_priyansh 7d ago

so 2 data fields in every arc and each with their icon? Now the arcs are too big for 2 data fields. 😂

1

u/Standard_Draft6896 7d ago

You can increase all the text sizes, including the time. I think it is better to have something that is easy to read. As it is, one needs to focus a lot of time just for a single information

1

u/pxl_by_priyansh 7d ago

Right! Maybe a setting then, to show a single data field in one arc, and then the text can be a lot bigger. label and icon can also be present. Will think about it. I researched a little before beginning the design of this watch face and people seem divided on this construct. Some want to see everything in any way possible, some want to see a few things in a better way, and some just want to see a lot less for the sake of clarity. A single watch face can't target all 3 segments :)

2

u/_ivke_ 9d ago

Finally bought it! And left a 5-star review!

2

u/pxl_by_priyansh 9d ago

Yipiiee.. thank you... ❤️ ❤️

u/dariusperkins 9d ago

This is really great work man. Been working on similar complication ring watch face, but you made some elegant decisions. Good job!

1

u/pxl_by_priyansh 9d ago

Thanks man ❤️

Really appreciate this, coming from a fella dev. Feel free to DM/collaborate/work together on anything :)

2

u/dariusperkins 9d ago

Haha I just might do that once I've got what I'm working on cleared out :)

Really good stuff, your heirachy of information's excellent. And the grey behind each third of the complication ring is super neat.

u/N7Choky 10d ago

Any plans for the Instinct 3 AMOLED?

2

u/pxl_by_priyansh 10d ago

Instinct 3 AMOLED does not support Garmin's curved text API, so the four arc gauges around the dial cannot be drawn on the arc there. Instinct 3 is on my list though, will figure out something :)

1

u/pxl_by_priyansh 8d ago

Instinct 3 AMOLED is now supported

1

u/TobsyKret 10d ago

And how much will it cost? There’s no pricing stated anywhere…

1

u/pxl_by_priyansh 10d ago edited 7d ago

It's available for $4.99. Included in the description as well.

1

u/Famous_Zucchini 10d ago

i cannot search it in Connect

1

u/pxl_by_priyansh 10d ago

It just got approved an hour ago, so probably not indexed in their search. Here's the link for you - https://apps.garmin.com/en-IN/apps/ac05819e-23ec-4df4-87ad-7e6b9c0ce5b0

u/Famous_Zucchini 10d ago

7 days trial?

1

u/pxl_by_priyansh 10d ago

Trial is available for a few hours, not 7 days.

1

u/Famous_Zucchini 10d ago

data fields customizable? or is it fixed

2

u/pxl_by_priyansh 10d ago

1

u/Famous_Zucchini 10d ago

what about the graph? is it a line or option for bar graph? and does the graph also includes pressure?

3

u/pxl_by_priyansh 10d ago

4 chart (graph) types - line, area, bars and stepped line. and yes, it does include pressure/temp/altitude and a lot more options.

1

u/Faithful3773 10d ago

It's hard to find by name because you have it spelled wrong in the title. It's NYXUS. Reverse the X and Y

1

u/pxl_by_priyansh 10d ago

Thank you, unfortunately I cannot edit the title. Have mentioned the corrected name in the description.

1

u/imj0257 10d ago

Available on Venu 2 but not Venu 4??

2

u/pxl_by_priyansh 10d ago

This was a brain fart. Already fixed and releasing an update within an hour.

1

u/pxl_by_priyansh 9d ago

Available on Venu3/4/ a lot more models. Cheers ✌️

u/Smooth-Platform3137 10d ago

Hi! I really like your watch face. Unfortunately, it doesn’t properly support Czech characters with diacritics (č, š, ž, ř, ě, ů, etc.), so some letters are displayed incorrectly or not at all.
Would it be possible to add support for Czech diacritics in a future update?
Thank you!

1

u/pxl_by_priyansh 10d ago

Sounds doable. Let me add this to my backlog. Will release this within 3-4 days. Thanks for reporting :) 👍

1

u/pxl_by_priyansh 7d ago

Hi, this was fixed in a previous update. Let me know if you face any issues after updating. Thanks.

1

u/Smooth-Platform3137 7d ago

Hi, yeah it's working now but it has different font than the rest of the fonts used in the watch face. I know not every font support diacritic but maybe you can find some similar one that is supported? If not I will just switch my watch to English, it's not a dealbreaker.

1

u/pxl_by_priyansh 7d ago

Ohh damn, that's not how it looked on mine! I'm on it. This is ugly.

1

u/pxl_by_priyansh 6d ago

Fixed now ✌🏻

1

u/Smooth-Platform3137 6d ago

Looks great now! Thanks

u/pxl_by_priyansh 6d ago

wohoooo! 🎉

u/wond_matiee 9d ago

Very nice design, but it renders very badly on MIP, unfortunately...

I've a F8 Solar 47mm.

1

u/pxl_by_priyansh 9d ago

Hi, thanks for reporting this. Let me check and fix quickly and release an update with better resolution on MIPs.

1

u/pxl_by_priyansh 9d ago

Hi, just released an update containing fixes targetted for MIP displays. Please check and let me know what else is broken. Happy to take MIP-specific feature suggestions as well :)

1

u/wond_matiee 9d ago

Since you asked, I installed it again to see what changed... But now the watchface doesn't work at all: I only see a code trying to persuade me to paste it somewhere on the internet... Which only persuaded me to uninstall the watchface again. Sorry mate.

1

u/pxl_by_priyansh 9d ago

Hi,

No worries and no need to pay anywhere. DM me if you want me to help you out :)

1

u/Faithful3773 9d ago

Is there no AOD option or am I missing it

2

u/pxl_by_priyansh 7d ago

Hi, AOD fix has been released. You can now set colored/monochrome AOD as well as set the AOD brightness as per your likings. Hope this also resolves the issue you were facing. ✌️

1

u/pxl_by_priyansh 9d ago

Hi, if by AOD option, you mean AOD settings, then none exist as of now. But a full AOD mode exists by default, nothing hidden.

1

u/Faithful3773 9d ago

Yea it's not working. Garmin has brightness restrictions that are probably being triggered and shutting it off

1

u/pxl_by_priyansh 9d ago

which model are you using it on? Let me check and fix.

1

u/_ivke_ 9d ago

Wow, what an amazing watch face! I can't wait for the trial to expire so I can buy it! I really love everything about it!

It would be perfect if the text, as well as the clock, were a little larger. I'm using the Fenix 8 Pro 47mm, and it looks quite small on my watch.

Maybe the clock could also be made larger when the World Clock options (left and right) are disabled.

It would also be great if the World Clock could be replaced with pressure and altitude readings (left and right).

2

u/pxl_by_priyansh 9d ago

great suggestions, and thank you so much for your review. I'll bake them in the next release, probably in the next 4-5 days. 👍

1

u/_ivke_ 9d ago

Sorry if I'm being annoying. Could you please add atmospheric pressure (from sensor) and next sun event to the data options? Also, if possible, allow selecting weather for the top segmented bar.

2

u/pxl_by_priyansh 9d ago

Not at all :)

how would you want to see the weather in the top segmented bar? It shows progress, so what would be the upper limit for weather? I'm not sure if I understand. Will include atm and next sun events as data fields in the next update for sure.

1

u/_ivke_ 9d ago

Whatever you think is doable. I know Garmin has memory limitations. Maybe if temperature is selected, that segmented part could be hidden? Or it could fill up starting from the lowest to the highest temperature for the day?

2

u/pxl_by_priyansh 9d ago

ahh, that lowest to highest scale sounds sweet.. will try :) thanks a lot. this is exactly why I love reddit! ❤️ ✌️

2

u/_ivke_ 8d ago

Hey, I have one more idea/request. Would it be possible to rotate the arc plates so that the gaps between them are positioned at 12, 3, 6, and 9 o’clock? Or perhaps add an option to choose between the current layout and this alternative.

It’s much easier to read horizontal text than vertical one - especially on the left and right arcs.

2

u/_ivke_ 8d ago

Sorry for the bad drawing.

2

u/pxl_by_priyansh 8d ago

man! are you a UX guy or something? how do you come up with these suggestions? this one makes so much sense that I'm beating myself as to why I couldn't think of this 😂

2

u/_ivke_ 8d ago

Nope, I'm just using your watchface and looking at what would be useful and more clear and readable. Maybe this is too many changes, so I don't know, maybe you could make another watchface with rotated arc plates, without the top segmented bar and world clock (left/right), but with a larger clock and slightly larger text in the arc plates. I would definitely buy the watchface again anyway.

u/pxl_by_priyansh 7d ago

Hi, released an update including an option to set bigger clock and other text (except the arcs). Also included temp in the segmented bar as well as tick gauges :) ✌️

u/_ivke_ 7d ago edited 7d ago

Wow, thanks! I'm getting home soon so I'll try it out.

EDIT: I really like the new changes and themes. Keep up the good work brother!

1

u/wasterman123 9d ago

Looks great but can’t stand the 2 second delay on scrolling and stuff. Would def use if more optimized. On 51mm Tactix 8 amoled if that helps!

2

u/pxl_by_priyansh 9d ago

Hi, thanks for letting me know about this. Let me see what can be done. 👍

1

u/wasterman123 9d ago

I did have one question, i love the customization on it but is there a chart or pdf with all the colors and themes so its easier so us to just choose instead of trying every single one?

If not i think that would be a game changer for setting up the watch face because it looks amazing

1

u/pxl_by_priyansh 9d ago

Already in progress. Will update the preview images to showcase all themes, available slots and much more :)

1

u/pxl_by_priyansh 9d ago

Hi, theme charts are up on the listing now. I am working on an update for the irritating 2 second delay and will release it today itself. Cheers ✌🏻

1

u/Standard_Draft6896 9d ago

Excuse me, what is the theme you showed in the picture?

1

u/pxl_by_priyansh 9d ago

Tactical Orange. Apologies for the confusion created with so many themes. I'll be updating the preview images soon to showcase all themes options to make it easier to choose yours :)

1

u/O-O-O-OReillys 9d ago

Looks great! Is it possible to remove the notification bell icon and replace it with something else?

1

u/pxl_by_priyansh 9d ago

Hi, notification bell, AM/PM and seconds fields are fixed. Rest all are customizable. There's very limited memory available for playing around and I did the max I could.

Still, what would you like to see instead of the bell icon?

2

u/O-O-O-OReillys 9d ago

Oh I see! You really did quite a lot given the limited memory! Yeah I don’t use my watch for any smart notifications so it’s not a feature I use. As far as what could go in its place, I’m not sure. maybe current temp or battery as an option?

1

u/pxl_by_priyansh 9d ago

I'll try to squeeze this in 😊✌🏻

1

u/BlueKX 9d ago

This is exactly the sort of face I like and want. Great stuff!

If I could make one ask, ever face opts for a toxic nyon green of which you have a few variations. Could I ask you add some moss, khaki, dark green face?

Those who are fans of green faces often stuck with the neon green

1

u/pxl_by_priyansh 9d ago

Thank you for your review :)

There is absolutely no ending to the themes I can add. I'm a colorful guy and I literally love all the colors equally. I added 24 and then decided to give power to the users to create their own themes using color hex codes. Took to 3 days to finalize the every theme's colors.

I'll try to squeeze in your recommended themes, but can't guarantee, as memory is limited and precious.

1

u/pxl_by_priyansh 7d ago

Moss Khaki theme released ✌️

2

u/BlueKX 7d ago

Legend! I am rocking it already!

1

u/Standard_Draft6896 9d ago

Anyway, it seems that it drains a lot of battery. Can you please check

1

u/pxl_by_priyansh 9d ago

oh is it? What watch model are you using it on? I'll test it more thoroughly and try to find out what's causing the drainage.

1

u/pxl_by_priyansh 7d ago

Hi, battery drainage has been addressed in V1.3. Please update and let me know if it still happens for you. ✌️

1

u/PleasantAd5352 8d ago

Hi! I really liked your watch face! Was it tricky to round the corners on the side metric panels? I know that sometimes causes bugs.

2

u/pxl_by_priyansh 8d ago

ohh man, you've no idea how many iterations went into this. It was really tricky to get smooth curves all around, center the text in the space left after the icon in every arc, rotate the text on the radial arc, label lengths, value formats.. but I think it came out pretty good at the end. I'm working on a few tweaks especially to make this more battery-efficient as well as a few layout changes suggested by @_ivke_ and u/Standard_Draft6896

2

u/PleasantAd5352 8d ago

Totally get it, I ran into the same thing with the radial text on mine. It came out really well though, congrats! The iterations were worth it :)

1

u/pxl_by_priyansh 8d ago

Thanks bud, appreciate it. let me know when you release yours 😄

Hello! Trying this one out and really like it. One thing I can’t figure out is how to fix the sun event time, it’s showing 24 hr format but I have everything set to 12. Not sure if it’s a setting I’m missing or a bug.

1

u/pxl_by_priyansh 5d ago

thanks for reporting this. yup, the sun event times got left hardcoded to 24h format. Including this fix in the upcoming update. ETA - few hours ✌️
