This online builder only implements a very basic color quantization algorithm. In order to display a better quality image on your watch, I strongly suggest that you should use an image editor (like photoshop, or gimp) to export your image before you import it to your design.
Under global widget section, you can check/uncheck this option.
When this option is checked, any image imported to your design will not be forced to reduce color to match device’s color space.

Fixed: analog hand jumping
Reworking with the image rotation method, now analog hands are rotating in the center point without moving. (I still see one pixel moving, but it’s much better than previous version)

All OWM data fields require open weather map API key. In order to enter your own key on your device, please follow the following article.
Version 5.1.0

Added data fields from Open Weather Map
The Open Weather Map (OWM) API provides the following weather data for any geographical coordinates: (signup here to get your free API key)
Reverse geocoding (return the location name, state, country)
Current weather
Minute forecast for 1 hour
Hourly forecast for 48 hours
Daily forecast for 7 days
When you add any OWM data field, online builder will create two files (one APPID.prg, the other APPID-settings.json). Before you copy both files into the Garmin/Apps folder, you will need to modify the APPID-settings.json, and replace the “demo” with your OWM API key.
From:
To:
Without your own OWM API key, system will use a shared free key to retrieve data from OWM. But each free key has daily limits of 1000 calls, so eventually it will reach its limits and no data will be returned.
If you use OWM fields in your design, your watch face should retrieve data from internet every 30 minutes. But if you moved (approximately 1km), your watch face will retrieve data from internet in 5 or less minutes, depends on when the data were retrieved last time.
If you have any questions, please ask them at the reddit forum.
Enjoy!

Fixed analog watch face’s out of memory issue.
Now you can use fancy hands as long as the hand image is not too big. Check out this beautiful watchface shared by whiskeybro
For anybody created analog watch face before but got IQ icon when launch it on your watch, please reopen your design and rebuild it, and try it again. This version reduces memory usage tremendously.
Enjoy it.
