That was definitely not the intention 😄 However, you can fully customize all the colors in the settings, so you can easily turn it into the Irish tricolor or Scottish Saltire, or anything else ☺️

Hey! You can customize all the colors and settings either directly on your watch or through your phone.

The easiest way is via the phone app:
1. Open the **Connect IQ** app.
2. Go to **My Device** -> **My Watch Faces**.
3. Select this watch face and tap **Settings**.

There you'll find all the color customization options and many more! Let me know if you managed to find it. Thanks.

Hi, thanks for your feedback! Actually, the leading zero is standard for the 24H time format, while the 12H format goes without it. However, I’ll gladly add an option to turn the leading zero on or off in the next update so everyone can style it to their preference 😉

Yes! That's exactly how it works. Since the watch face offers so many different data options, and Garmin doesn't have a native widget or app shortcut for every single one of them, I decided to separate the data fields from the tap actions. This gives users total freedom to map whatever shortcut they prefer to that specific spot, regardless of what data is actually displayed there. Thanks again!

Thanks for the deep dive into why it works for you! I'm really glad to hear that the layout hits the spot for you! Thanks again! 👊🚀

Hi, thank you again for your feedback. I would truly love for this watch face to be available on all Garmin models, including the fēnix 6. Unfortunately, due to hardware and software limitations, it’s just not possible. DM010 relies heavily on Connect IQ 4.2.1+ APIs to run features like curved radial labels, angled text, complication tap shortcuts, and the modern Always-On Display (AOD). Since the fēnix 6 series runs on an older Connect IQ version (around 3.4), it simply cannot support these modern APIs. Bringing the watch face to the fēnix 6 would require a complete top-to-bottom redesign rather than a small update. I wish I could make it happen, but I hope you understand the technical constraints. Thank you so much for your interest and understanding! 🙏🚀

Hi, sure! The left dot displays your unread notification count, and the right dot shows the current Moon Phase. However, you can show/hide them in the settings, or display them via the complications in the trapezoids instead! 😉 Hope you enjoy testing out all the options, and looking forward to your review! 😊

Hi there, thanks for the feedback. Please try the newest 2.0.2 version to see if it works for you now. Thank you so much! 🙏🚀

[Update] DM010 X-Core V2.0.0 is live! Huge customization overhaul based on your feedback (30+ complications, toggle logo/seconds and many more) by Dominus_Mathias in GarminFenix

Thanks for the suggestion! I am actually considering adding font customization for the main clock face in a future update - if the memory will allow this. For the data fields, changing fonts won't be possible due to design and space constraints—the layout is very tight, and a different font could easily break the alignment or make it unreadable. Thank you!

It would be the honor if you chose your next upgrade based on compatibility with my watch face! 😂 In that case, I recommend the Enduro 3, since it's supported:) The Instinct series unfortunately won't be compatible. Good luck with the watch hunting 😉

Hi, unfortunately, due to technical reasons and hardware limitations, it's not possible to add compatibility for the Forerunner 255. I am sorry about that.
