This is my attempt to fit my daily information needs to the Pebble's screen :).
My last programming experience was several years ago, so I used Canvas for Pebble to design this watchface and get it working on my Pebble Steel:

Some strings are slightly misaligned on the screenshot due to the minor difference between the watchface representation in the Canvas editor and on Pebble.

This watchface has the following options:
1. Current weather report updated once per hour for reduced battery consumption. Current temperature is displayed together with the time and place of the last update and weather icon.
2. Current time.
3. Current date (DD.MM), week day (short) and week number (ISO standard).
4. Number of unread SMS + SMS icon;
5. Number of missed calls + phone icon;
6. Number of unread emails at your Gmail account + email icon;
7. Bluetooth status icon (hidden when disconnected, Pebble vibrates 3 times on connect/disconnect);
8. Dynamic icon for the strength of GSM signal,
9. Dynamic ringer icon to reflect the volume status of your phone;
10. Phone battery % + smartphone icon;
11. Watch battery % + watch icon.

The main drawback of this watchface for me is a few second delay before it starts, It happens because Canvas for Pebble uploads icons via BT each time when the watchface starting,

I use "My Essentials" watchface together with the Pebble Calendar application binded next in the watchfaces list.

You can download "My Essentials" watchface from my website (current version is v1.2 with the optimized icon sizes to reduce the loading delay) or find it at the Canvas for Pebble store for watchfaces.
You may need to install Canvas for Pebble to upload it to your Pebble.
