Dot Matrix display

@Horizontal_2 Thank you.
-
Here’s a photo of the AOD display: it’s the same layout as the main watch face, just dimmed. Keep in mind that my phone captures a lot of ambient light, so it appears brighter in the picture than it actually is.
-
Battery drain: I’ll keep an eye on it. Right now it’s dropping quickly, but I’ve spent most of the day developing SuuntoPlus apps and watch faces and constantly testing on my watch, so that’s probably a big part of it.
-
Upper ring: It uses the standard Suunto complication layout. You can choose between Sleep, Resources, Steps, Calories, Training Time, Moon Phases, Rain, Battery Level, or Blood Oxygen. Of course you could create your own complications and be even more creative compared to reusing what Suunto provides (benefit of using Suunto’s is that it can be changed in the settings).
-
Complications: You’re right that more could be added. This version is intentionally focused on simplicity and open space. I also felt that horizontal complications looked cleaner. I could experiment with smaller ones placed side by side.

Amazing! Well done.
If low battery drain matters to you: you might change the number into outlined characters. I think it’s one of the reasons the vector causes battery drain. But maybe it’s preset.
But I’m not judging. I’m hyped one can make their own watch face.

@Horizontal_2
I don’t mind a small hit if I have something more readable. I was not fully satisfied with Suunto use of outlined characters in some watch faces. Although I totally get the idea to save battery. But thanks for the suggestion and tip! -
a lot of you guys asked for sources, sorry guys was busy by my main S+ project livetracking.
heres repo with this watch face please feel free to try it out

@Nikolai-Simonov Thanks for the repo, but it shows 404 error. I am registered.

@Squirrel Oh! please re-check
-
@Nikolai-Simonov Works, thanks again.

Is it currently also possible to modify existing watch faces? I love the new anniversary face but the data displayed on it is not of use for me, would love to show stuff like my tsb, hrv, and resources on it.

@Nikolai-Simonov said in Dot Matrix display:
i build it with suunto’s vs code extension. currently there isn’t a menu item like a “create watchface”, but you can create it manually.
Could you please paste here code for both files main.js and manifest.json? I have installed all the environment to create watchface but lot of data I understand, and lot of it don’t. I would use your code as base for my project of 7 fields “activity like” watchface.
I also do not know why my watch resources are poor vs Suunto example
-
@pacuro sure, i’ve share the code few post above

@Nikolai-Simonov sorry, I missed that one. I have checked your code and it is extensive like for simple watchface. I thought it is easier to code such a things. I am struggling with google ai with my watchface. Can I send you my code for some help?
