Busy bank holiday weekend for #CrystalWatchFace, in between 120 miles of cycling over the last two days. A few users reporting crashes when changing settings using the new #ConnectIQ Store app. Reproduced locally, will keep digging for a solution.

@j_gene New #Garmin Edge 830 has your name written all over it? Mountain Bike Dynamics has Grit, Flow and Jumps metrics (distance, hang time)! Article courtesy of ever informative @dcrainmakerblog: https://t.co/GByY8184ja

Excited to have opened an account with the refreshingly modern @StarlingBank, so that I can finally use #Garmin Pay in the UK. No more jangling pound coins in “awkward” places while out for a run! Thank you both for making this possible.

1am ticks by, again. After much manual testing, I'm happy to set #CrystalWatchFace 2.3.2 free into the world. Fix for weather/humidity not updating, and SDK 3.0.10 support's also made it. Do good, little watch face. Good night.

[Vince Wong @pixelpathos]

I see #ConnectIQ SDK 3.0.10 adds support for the MARQ series. After seeing them in the flesh at #CIQSummit2019, it's like meeting an old friend! But what's the "Upcoming Wearable" - a tantalising glimpse of something (small and round) to come?

And my beloved art game, Bokeh, that has been with Pixel Pathos since the very beginning, is also alive once again, thanks to Heroku. Good times. https://t.co/vKaY2C0uTR

#Bokeh game straddles #art, #photography and #HTML5 #gamedev. Thoughts? Play at http://t.co/g7l1YEU8Wr. #bokehgame

For old time's sake, I've resurrected Planet Rescue, now hosted on Heroku: https://t.co/N2OeCAlquv

User noticed Humidity data field's always grey/empty on #CrystalWatchFace. @j_gene also saw similar problem with Weather on her new Fenix 5 Plus (suspiciously similar to #CIQSummit19 gift). Found nasty long-standing bug! Fix coming in version 2.3.2 soon. https://t.co/sq281WLiGL

Mind-boggling talk from @davehaase, RAAM cyclist. 3,000 miles, 8 days. 50% longer than TdF in 1/3 time. 32 miles vertical climb, 30 to 120F temps, 2 hrs rest per day... #EnablingInsanity #CIQSummit19

[Vince Wong @pixelpathos]

Break time earlier. Has been an honour to meet fellow #ConnectIQ devs, @tomasslavicek and @buress1, all the way from the Czech Republic. Chilly outside now. #WhereDidSummerGo #CIQSummit19

[Vince Wong @pixelpathos]

So much thought, so much research. A minimal, clean, functional, yet somehow beautiful @Spotify #ConnectIQ app UI. #CIQSummit19

[Vince Wong @pixelpathos]

Sobering stats during insightful talk by Anders Karlsson @Spotify: smartwatch sales UP 53%, smartphone sales DOWN 4% YoY 2018. Are we already in a post-mobile world? #CIQSummit19

[Vince Wong @pixelpathos]

Geeky chat on the run, but suffering too much to partake. On fumes by mile 5, then dropped! Still great to be out 😄 #sorry #DFL #10kPB

[Vince Wong @pixelpathos]

5.30am. Up for the Garmin morning in half and hour. Let’s do this! #coffee #CIQSummit19

[Vince Wong @pixelpathos]

“Passion” is an oft-overused word, but NOT here at #CIQSummit19. So many memorable conversations today with like-minded fit geeks! 11pm, UK jetlag, but still buzzing from the day.

[Vince Wong @pixelpathos]

Many thanks to @NordicTweets for sponsoring a wonderful evening of entertainment at @TheWWImuseum. Yet another #CIQSummit19 treat!

[Vince Wong @pixelpathos]

So much #ConnectIQ love at #CIQSummit19! Day 1 highlights include exciting announcements from @nicreations, and hugely insightful presentation from @dcrainmakerblog https://t.co/JFGy9otGNX

[Vince Wong @pixelpathos]

Very humbled that Crystal was awarded Best New Watch Face. So grateful to the Garmin Connect IQ community for making this possible. #CIQSummit19 https://t.co/Eb88eEwjAK
