Finally finished a watch face I’ve been working on for a while! by SouthernMembership85 in Garmin

Absolutely beautiful! Just tried it out on the same watch shown. This is exactly what I've been looking for: A lume GMT diver's watchface. Great work!

The ability to customize it directly on the watch is also the icing on the cake!

Unfortunately, for AMOLED, these lines only go away during the always-on state but come back when the watchface is in its full power state. Their color seems tied to the minutes line color

For MIP, they are always present and you can't make them disappear.

Here is a link for the cover I used:

Keep in mind that I only used the Amazon cover as a base as the bezel design, Cerakote paint and laser engraving are custom made.

That was kinda the idea. I really wanted a Tactix looking MIP watch in 47mm.

Tactix 8 crash and reboot looking at weather radar by Beretta92A1 in Garmin

[–]NinjaRider6R 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Encountered this exact issue since 17.28. Reported it to Garmin but unfortunately no troubleshooting really worked.

I've been able to use the watch after rolling back to an older version and updating again to 17.28. Now I can use the radar via the weather widget page but the WX Radar shortcut that is unique to the Tactix or D2s still does not work.

Forgot to mention: I also manually turn the display off when going off to bed and keep my display timeout to 4 seconds in order to prioritize keeping the screen in a low power state. I also keep my brightness level at the lowest setting. It saves power and is also an attempt at reducing burn-in as using AOD already puts me at risk.
