About this face

Something not working, or not right for you? Please do not leave a negative review. Press "Contact developer" on this store page instead. I will fix or change it, and then you can rate it well. Many people think a review is a way to reach me, and it hurts me by accident. Not sure you want it because you would change something? Write there too, I will adjust it. If you like it, there is a QR code in the settings menu where you can buy me a coffee. A good rating also helps me stay in the store. I am a student and this work pays for my studies. 7-day free trial, then a one-time 3.99 EUR unlock code at dialforge.dev. No subscription. After the trial, the face checks online through your phone whether you have bought the unlock code, so it can unlock by itself. It sends only the watch ID and the face name, nothing else. Four glass nixie tubes on your wrist, with warm orange digits that glow like the real thing. Features - Four nixie tubes drawn like real lamps: glass dome with an edge highlight, anode mesh, the unlit digits faintly visible behind the lit one, a layered warm glow and a socket plate - Colon lamps between the tube pairs - A strip of neon lamps under the tubes is one full minute: 30 lamps (one per 2 s) on big screens, fewer on small ones. The lamp whose time has come glows, the passed ones stay dim (screen awake only) - Date and two data fields under the tubes, one small field above them - Eight glow colours (orange nixie, cyan VFD, green, red, ice white, amber, violet, blue) and clear or smoked glass - Animation while the screen is awake: warm-up after you raise your wrist, soft flicker, and at the minute change the new digit fades in while the old one dies away. One switch turns it off - 12 h clock keeps the first tube unlit, like a real nixie clock - Always-on mode for AMOLED: dim digits only, shifted every minute to protect the screen - Built for round AMOLED, colour MIP and Venu Sq - Day and month names in 13 languages (by watch language, or fixed to English or Polish) Data fields (choose any for the top field and the two bottom fields) Heart rate, steps, battery, distance, calories, floors, intensity minutes, Body Battery, stress, altitude, notifications, solar intensity, battery days, temperature, sunrise, sunset, next sunrise or sunset, respiration, Pulse Ox, recovery time, pressure, resting heart rate, VO2 max, sleep score, training status, 5K prediction, next calendar event, weekly run distance, moon phase, week number, day of year, or empty. Since 1.3.0: realistic tubes, a full-width seconds strip, three new glow colours, glass style and animation. Garmin does not give watch faces access to HRV status or Training Readiness, so no Connect IQ watch face can show them. Trial: 7 days with everything working, then a reminder (days 8 to 14), a simple screen with the time and your Watch ID (days 15 to 29), and from day 30 a lock screen with a QR code. Buy the code at dialforge.dev for the Watch ID shown there and in the face settings. Code not working? Write to kontakt@dialforge.dev and we fix it or refund you. Settings: on the watch (hold MENU, then Watch face, then Customize) or in the Connect IQ app. On Instinct 3 Solar 45 mm the settings are changed in the Garmin Connect app on your phone. FROM THE MAKER I am a student and I build Dialforge watch faces myself, after classes. I do not own every watch model, so if something looks wrong on yours, write to me at https://dialforge.dev/faces/nixielamp/ and I will usually fix it within 24 hours. If you like the face, you can buy me a coffee: https://buycoffee.to/iwannaflysohigh
