Enlighten Clock Face

[RubenInfante]

Enlighten Clock Face

Minimalist clock face with weather and basic activity stats. Icons for activity stats will change colors as you progress toward your goals. Customize the theme by changing the background pattern and color. Weather module provided by Grégoire Sage.

I developed this clock face in my free time to learn more about the platform and chose to provide it to the community at no cost. Please feel free to comment if you run into any issues, have feature suggestions, or simply would like to provide feedback. I cannot guarantee that I will be able to respond to everything, but I will do my best to address reasonable requests as time allows.

I hope some of you find it useful.

Available now in the Fitbit App Gallery

I created an emoji for my clock face. She prompts to drink water, do yoga,
run, even take in a little TV time.

@Moxie5md Oh cool! How’d you do that? Please share!

Hello, I just installed this on my versa 2. It worked great on my versa 1. However, now on my versa 2, regardless of the settings I pick, it will only display a black screen with white time and date. Is this not compatible with versa 2?

[RubenInfante]

@Manny677 : Sorry to hear that you are experiencing issues with the Enlighten on your Versa 2. The watch face is configured to work with Versa 2 and appears to run as expected on it using the Fitbit OS Simulator during development. Unfortunately, I don't have the actual Versa 2 hardware to test it myself. My only suggestions would be to ensure that the Fitbit app seems to be syncing properly with the watch (steps are being recorded), or potentially resetting the watch.

Hi,

This clock is exactly what I've been looking for and the configuration options are great.

Would it be possible to add an option for the ":" on the clock not to blink though?

And for the heart rate to be slightly bigger too.

I haven't commented in a while but just wanted to continue the praise.  I received a firmware update (not sure what it did) and the face kept working well (when in the past, firmware updates have broken OTHER clockfaces).

Enlighten is clean, has the features I want and is well supported.  I greatly appreciate the hard work you have put into it.

[RubenInfante]

@Jason771 : Sorry for the late reply. My schedule hasn't allowed me as much time to work on this project recently. I'm glad you like the watch face. I think your suggestion about disabling the animation of the ":" is interesting and something I hadn't really thought about. I'll certainly try to fit that into the next release once I find a bit more time. The heart rate, along with the rest of the smaller text can be adjusted using the font size setting. Is the largest setting still a bit too small?

@SLEZE : Thanks for the kind words! I'm really glad that you've continued to find use and functionality in my humble watch face. I set out to make Enlighten for my own use and I figured I would distribute it freely in case others liked the design as well. I'm happy that people have connected with it.

[Manny677]

Guys, I should have posted earlier. I got it to work correctly after
playing with it for about a day. Thank you for checking up on it though.

How do you make it 24hr 

[SunsetRunner]

It’s in your FitBit.com account settings (the gear in the top right corner)

Hi everyone. I just wanted to send a quick note that I submitted Enlighten v1.5.0 to Fitbit for review. I would expect it to be available within the next week or so.

This version brings a "Clock" section to the settings menu that has a couple of new options. First, you will be able to toggle the time separator animation that blinks on and off every second (requested by @Jason771). Second, there is now a dedicated setting to toggle between 12-hour and 24-hour formats without needing to go to your Fitbit account (a common friction point most recently felt by @becks1207).

@SunsetRunner : Thanks again for helping out others on this board with your detailed tips!

[Jason771]

I got the new version update today and it works great.

Thanks for implementing the suggestions mate. Looks great

Hello.  I’m sure this question has been on here a lot.....however, I am still having a difficult time figuring out how to put the API key for the weather on my watch.  I’m not sure why I am having such a hard time figuring it out or what I might be doing wrong....but is there somebody who can maybe explain it more simple or in like less technical terms maybe.?  thank you

[RubenInfante]

@-Brooke- : The Personal API key is an optional, advanced feature. By default, the watch face uses a built-in API key to gather weather information from OpenWeatherMap. This API key is a free account and is shared by everyone who does not set a personal API key. If enough people use the watch and have weather enabled, overall usage may exceed the limits imposed by the service provider. When this happens, you might start to see "--" for the temperature for extended periods of time. However, you may also see "--" if the location permission is not always allowed on your Fitbit app on your phone (allowing the permission only when the app is in use is not sufficient). This is required because it is the only way the watch can lookup weather at your current location.

If you decide to create your own account with OpenWeatherMap, you can then put that API key in the settings and then reset your watch. After that, you will only be limited by your individual usage. That all being said, the watch face is designed to reduce excessive calls to the weather API, so it hasn't been much of an issue more recently.

Hello, I just got my Fitbit Versa 2 and was able to download the clockface. But none of the customizations are working. Is this because the clockface doesn't work for newer versions of the Versa? I'm sad because this fave had everything I wanted.

[SunsetRunner]

@PibblePanda You can scroll through this thread but it might have something to do with you settings. You can check them in the FitBit app and look at your versa settings. If low light mode is enabled it’ll only give you one setting with red writing. 

[RubenInfante]

@PibblePanda : Enlighten is intended to work with the Fitbit Versa 2. I do not have the actual hardware to test on, but I have not seen any different behavior for that platform through the Fitbit OS Simulator. If you continue to experience issues, posting an image of the watch or providing more specific information about the issues you are seeing might help me provide some suggestions.

[Jason771]

I have Versa 2 and all the different settings work well on mine

[SunsetRunner]

My sister has the OG versa and uses the Enlighten clock face without any difficulty.

Love this face, been using it for over a year now. But my versa just updated to use Active Zone minutes instead of active minutes. Anyway to update the face to use that instead?
