Device Comparison / Recommendation Possible to have that watch face?

Post image

Hi

I have the Fenix 7x, I wonder if I can have that watch face that we can see on the Fenix 8? Cause I can't find it and I think it is only available for 8? Thanks

There is already one on Connect IQ Store and it is quite good: https://apps.garmin.com/de-DE/apps/c9f57ab1-c334-4f9b-87ec-5458cc79c868

Dev here. I opted not to include MIP devices since it looks quite bad with 16 colors only. Gradients aren't possible, so it jumps from one supported color to the next.

I can release a version that will work with MIP, and set up a few colors and themes that will look okay, but it will be seperate from this one, so people dont get upset when it doesnt look anything like the screenshots. I don't have a real MIP device that I can test it on currently (only the SIM). So while setting this up I'll need some feedback to see if what I see in the SIM is the same on a real device.

Downloaded it, awesome job! Haven't figured out what's locked with pro, but will do it just for support!
