Glass Tiles

Six frosted-glass tiles on black, each with a glass icon and one number you choose.

Big time and date on top, two rows of three tiles below. The icons are rendered in glass with a light top edge and a soft shadow, in three tints: Ice, Ocean and Ember. Made for round AMOLED watches. No logo or model name on the dial.

Features

  • Six tiles, 30 data types to choose from for each
  • Glass icons in three tints (Ice, Ocean, Ember)
  • 10 accent colours for the date, units and message line
  • Seconds next to the time (can be turned off)
  • AMOLED always-on: time and date as thin outlines, dimmed and shifted every minute; or time only, or off
  • Data refresh: normal, battery saver or fresh
  • Lean: no animations, a background service only for the Popular color sets list (every 6 hours it contacts dialforge.dev and sends just an anonymous color number)

Data fields: heart rate, steps, battery, distance, calories, floors, active minutes, Body Battery, stress, altitude, notifications, solar intensity, battery days, temperature, sunrise, sunset, next sun event, respiration, SpO2, recovery time, pressure, resting heart rate, VO2 max, sleep score*, 5K prediction*, weekly run distance*, moon phase, week number, day of year, or empty.

* needs a watch with Connect IQ 4.2 or newer

Round AMOLED watches, one layout.

Garmin does not give watch faces access to HRV status or Training Readiness, so no Connect IQ watch face can show them.

Code not working? Write to kontakt@dialforge.dev and we fix it or refund you.

Settings: on the watch (hold MENU, then Watch face, then Customize) or in the Connect IQ app.

A little request from the maker

Dialforge is my student project. I build these watch faces after classes, so they are still at an early stage, and I could not test every watch model myself. If something looks wrong on your watch, please do not leave a negative rating: write to me first at https://dialforge.dev/faces/glasstiles/ and I will fix it, usually within 24 hours. A kind review means more to me than you can imagine. And if you like my work, you can buy me a coffee (the link is at the bottom of dialforge.dev): I am saving up to pay for my studies. Thank you for your patience and for giving a young developer a chance.

Permissions and privacy

This product asks the watch for the permissions below. Connect IQ shows them when you install it.

  • Sensor history: Reads recent values stored by the watch (for example Body Battery, stress, heart rate, steps trend).
  • Your profile: Reads your Garmin profile on the watch (for example age, weight, heart rate zones) to calculate values for you.
  • Watch data (complications): Shows data from other watch features, such as battery or steps, on the face.
  • Location (GPS): Uses the watch location for distance, speed or sun and moon times. The location is not sent anywhere.
  • Background process: Lets the app run short tasks in the background, for example reminders.
  • Internet through the phone: Lets the watch make a web request through your phone. Used only for the colour service described below.

Popular colour sets service

Every 6 hours the face downloads the list of popular colour sets from dialforge.dev. If you changed the colour set, it also sends that set's number. The request contains only the number, the face name and the face version. It contains no watch ID, no unlock code and no e-mail. We count choices, not people. Details: privacy policy.

In preparation

Glass Tiles is not in the Connect IQ store yet. It will appear there when Garmin approves it. This page will then get the install button and the price.
