Creating a watchface - Garmin Fénix 8
Hi, everyone!
This video covers the creation of a somewhat simple watchface, created for the latest Garmin watch, the Fénix 8!
The watch face itself is not something to write home about, but it does have some elements that are perfect and so easy to create in Facemaker and this is why I chose it!
It is based on an official watchface from the old Honor GS Pro.
Please see the list of supported Garmin devices down below. Only devices that support the API level 5.0.0 with AMOLED screen are implemented.
