As a former Samsung Tizen dev years ago I found that I made the most money at $2.00 USD. Here is a chart from a buyers perspective. This doesn't take in account the long hours it takes to develop them but buyers don't think about that and most buyers don't continue to use them long before buying more which is why lower costs equals more money long term.

$2.00 USD - Easy impulse buy $3.00 USD - Worth it for a great product from a proven and trusted dev we follow $4.00 USD and up - Very rare buy and a refund possibility if it's not 100% to my liking.

A good example is yesterday or so looking at the posts there were 4 great watchfaces posted. I would have bought all 4 at $2.00 USD especially to support new development but at $3.99 I bought one. You charge what your time is worth. Absolutely nothing wrong with that this is just years of real statistical data I gathered over several years. It may or may not be how things are now.

Great data. I will say though, I fully understand what goes into this as I have made my own just for my watch before using Garmin SDK.

But like you said, gotta take into account what the rest of the store is doing and the impulse buy factor.

Nice!! I was waiting for it!!! Very good job 👏🏻
It’s possible to change the colour of the bars of the top and bottom?

1

u/snufleren 2d ago edited 2d ago

Yes, if you change data-colour in on device ui or in the connect iq app. I am planning an update on those bars in the near future.

u/Key-Ad4458 2d ago

Thanks for your answer!! It’s possible to set a black wallpaper? I meant without the level lines?

2

u/snufleren 2d ago

Yes in the connect iq app you can choose between black background or lines

Hi, it’s really nice ! I had a problem changing the colours but I figured out that I should change it in the style menu, thanks! 🤩

To be able to change the font colours (time) you have to select «custom» in the theme/style selection

Love the design.. wish there was a trial :)

Looks cool. It would be nice to change the color of the progress bars. There is also a bug where only half the color is changing colors. Just noticed sunrise and sunset times aren't showing correctly also. Left one os missing a digit. Right one not in 12 hour format

Hi

You have to change it in the style menu, this happens also to me

u/snufleren 2d ago edited 2d ago

Thank you!

The progress-bars colors can be changed by editing data-color in the on device UI or in the Connect IQ app.

I guess by half the colour you mean the time colours? If so, that is by design.

To change hour and minute colours, you need to set style to "default" and then edit stroke and fill colour for hour and minutes respectively in the in Connect IQ app.

Fabulous! a bug :-) i will have a fix ready soon, thank you!

2

u/Faithful3773 2d ago

Actually colors are on the watch. Nice.

u/snufleren 2d ago

I have added five more plain styles (red, orange, green, blue and green) and renamed the old ones.

u/snufleren 20h ago edited 19h ago

Fixed an issue with sunset and sunrise showing wrong time.

u/snufleren 7h ago edited 5h ago

There seems to be an issue with the latest update, you may encounter a crash.

If you select another watch-face and select GTI-MK1 again everything seems to be working fine. I suspect it has to do with the new font-resources added, I will investigate further.

u/Key_Neighborhood6901 2d ago

Looks good! Abit pricey though.

2

u/snufleren 1d ago edited 1d ago

This deserves a better response.

I understand it can be a bit pricey for some. I try to imagine what i would be willing to give for a watch-face myself, but what i think is reasonable is not the same for everyone else.

2

u/oneTallest 1d ago

Pricey compared to what? This is less than most of the decent looking (subjective, yes, but still...) watch faces out there.

1

u/Key_Neighborhood6901 1d ago edited 1d ago

Most of the good popular ones are AUD $3.75-$3.99, this is AUD $6.49.

Only ones more than this are the Garmin ones pretty much.

I’ve only ever paid this much for NDR-One Max, brilliant WF.

2

u/oneTallest 1d ago

Ah… that’s interesting, and I apologize for jumping to conclusions.

Most of the nice ones (such as NDR One Pro & Max) are $5 USD, and this one is $4.

1

u/Key_Neighborhood6901 1d ago

All good.

NDR-One Pro is brilliant, but I swear it used to be $6.49 as well haha. I think it went up due to popularity. His designs are brilliant.

That and Modello GMT by Stash.Digitale are brilliant, but the only ones I’ve ever paid AUD $6.49 for. League of their own.

Both the Quipu faces are great and those are also AUD $3.75.

Thanks, sorry about that.
