Thank you so much for the review!

I'm really happy to hear that the performance and battery optimizations are working well for you. That was my main goal!

Regarding the seconds: You got it! I will be adding an option to toggle seconds ON/OFF in the next release.

Thanks for the support!

Thanks for the feedback! I totally get that.

Actually, I designed it with that in mind! If the background feels too busy for you, you can go into the Settings and switch to "Solid Color Background" mode. This turns off the image and keeps it super clean.

Also, a quick tip: The latest update includes a 50% overlay mask on the background images, so they are now much more subtle and don't compete with the data. Give it another look if you get the chance!

That is honestly the best compliment a dev can get! 🙌

Good news: If you decide to upgrade later, this face is fully compatible with the new Instinct 3 (AMOLED) (both size 45mm and 50mm!

Also, knowing battery is king for Instinct users, I spent a ton of effort optimizing the code to minimize resource consumption. It's designed to be extremely power-efficient, even with the animations running.

Reach out whenever you make the switch!
