Creating a Watch Face - Garmin Venu X1
Hi, everyone!
After a long pause, it's time to start releasing new videos!
This time, I'm building a watch face for the Garmin Venu X1.
Why the Garmin Venu X1, you may ask?
Well, to be fair, this channel didn't have a video for a Garmin rectangular watch and I also needed to showcase the new feature for Garmin, the World Clock!
The World Clock feature allows you to have 35 selectable time zones available on your Garmin watch's options.
It displays the City, Hours and Minutes (both analog and digital) for the time zone you want.
Unfortunately, due to the Garmin memory limitations, you have to be very conservative and keep the amount of widgets as low as possible whenever you use this widget (as you'll see on the video).
On this video, I also showcase the new Lunar phase generator, that allows you to generate all the moon phases from a single image!
I really think that this feature is unique and only available in Facemaker!
It is also available for all brands and frameworks supported by Facemaker, not just Garmin!
