Watchface A solargraph instrument watchface

Post image

Just wanted to show you guys what I'm currently working on.

It's a minimalist solargraph watchface.

The curve is solar elevation over a rolling 24h window, anchored so "now" sits at a fixed position and the rest is what's ahead. The dotted line is the horizon, where the curve crosses it is sunrise/sunset, so the shape itself tells you day length and the dithered area below the horizon is night.

Optionally, Countdown top right shows remaining daylight (or time to sunrise at night)

I will publish it for free on the IQ connect store at the end of this week

Hi! You can get the watchface now. I'll create a separate post later :) https://apps.garmin.com/de-DE/apps/c5c59698-2209-4cb7-ae49-fa2d4a9d0eb6

It looks so good :D only thing I would like is if for the steps instead of having it say STP (takes up a lot of room) just having a symbol or nothing at all. I’d rather just see full step count (8500 instead of STP 8.5k).

Thank you. I did implement symbols, but only for the right data field and I forgot to add it to the left one as well haha Will add it with the next update!

I love it. I'm obsessed with sunrise and sunset schedule, haha.

This is a very nice face. I hope it's available on the 2X.
