The Luxelion data platform is a unified framework for delivering a wide variety of metrics across all our watch faces. All of our products that include this module get the benefits of the research & development that goes into making this module powerful & efficient.
The Luxelion data module is developed separately from our watch faces, and then each watch face gets redeployed with the latest updates. For that reason, we report separate version numbers for the data module.
Module Version | Released | Overview |
|---|---|---|
September 18, 2023 | The 8th data platform version contains minor stability improvements for rare cases: - resolves a crash when users with unspecified birth years accessed the “Active Calories” metric (that metric relies on a person’s age). - resolves a crash when users with very old firmware try to access metrics that require the sunrise time, which was not available on certain older firmware versions | |
August 8, 2023 | The gen 7 data module features small performance improvements and stability enhancements. | |
March 28, 2023 | Data Module 6 gives you far more visibility and control. - First, it adds 9 new complications (mainly related to training). - Next, it supports more customization options for metric formats & units (to override system settings). For example, you can specify your date format (M/D/Y, D/M/Y, Y/M/D) or temperature & distance units. - Excitingly, all icons can now be drawn with colors, for even more stylish designs & user customization (on certain supported watch faces). - It resolves an issue where the sunrise/sunset metric wasn’t respecting a user’s 12/24-hour clock setting. - Additionally, it introduces some customizable goals (for metrics like running/cycling distance). - And finally, it includes numerous massive performance and memory savings (which were required to add these new features without exceeding memory limits). | |
March 21, 2023 | The LuxeLion D5 data module adds support for the Garmin Complications framework and Hold-to-Open (HTO) technology. It also reduces memory usage through some internal streamlining, which will make it possible to bring you even more metric options in a future release. | |
March 12, 2023 | Data module update D4 adds support for moon phase calculations. Under the “Sun & Moon” category in the on-device settings, you can now select to display the moon phase percent or name. | |
March 5, 2023 | This data module update (D3) substantially reduces memory, clearing the way to support more metrics in the future. | |
February 28, 2023 | This data module update (D2) adds 8 new metrics and reduces memory. | |
February 15, 2023 | This is the initial launch of the data module (D1), which includes the initial set of supported complications & metrics. |
