HandsyFace

Garmin watch face using hands instead of numbers. the hands start at 12 o clock and traverses around the screen as regular watch hands. In the middle, the date is displayed. There are four watch hands, from the outside in:

Time hand

Displays the current time the same way a regular hour hand on a watch does. You can see the time with what's usually enough precision, basically every 15 minutes or so.

Activity hand

Shows how close you are to your set activity goal for the week.

Calories hand

Shows how many calories you have burned during the day. Due to not figuring out the settings system and not having enough energy to research more, a goal is compiled in. It is currently set to 1500 above average MBR (2000 kcal).

Steps hand

Shows how close you are to reaching the step goal for the day.

Very simple, and reasonably clean. Not sure if I like it yet.

Rollaround

A small number is added next to each counter for each doubling of the goal. If your step goal is 5000 and you take 5001 steps, the number will be 1 and the arrow will point straight up.

Installation instructions

There are two main ways to install this watchface

Pre built binary

Connect your device to the computer and drop the correct binary for your device in the /GARMIN/APPS-folder.

Compile from source

Compile it from source using the Garmin SDK

If you need to resize the icons there is a script for this in the resources/drawables-folder called renderImages. This script can be used to render images in any size. Keep in mind that the different icons have different visual impacts, so a slight modification to the script might be needed for sizes other than 15, or 20px. The script automatically updates drawables.xml.

After using the "build for device wizard", transfer the built binary per the instructions above.

Note: If you are changing the colors, remember to update the drawables file aswell, since garmin does not allow you to repaint icons in run time.
