Ray-traced light shines from the watch hands, and the hands cast real shadows on each other. An analog face lit by its own hands. Each hand is a strip of light that shines from one edge onto a black dial. Where the hands meet, one shades the other, and the light spills around the tips. As the hands move, the light and shadows change all day. REAL LIGHT, CALCULATED ON YOUR WATCH • Every pixel works out how much of each hand it can see, then adds up the light it gets • Shadows and light spilling round the hand tips come from the geometry, and a hand next to the other one picks up its glow • Markers catch the light: they glow where it falls and fade into the shadows • The light is pre-computed for every angle between the hands, so it appears instantly and moves exactly when the hands do LIGHT COLORS • Classic red and green, Pan-African, Neon, Synthwave, Sunset, Aurora, Fire, Ice, Ocean, Forest, Gold, Candy, Toxic, Blood Moon, Cyberpunk, Vaporwave, Lava Lamp, Police, White, Warm White • Rainbow: the colors shift as the hands go round • Time of day: night blues, a dawn of orange and pink, a pale gold day, a magenta dusk • Heart rate: cool blue at rest, gold at a brisk pace, red when you work hard • Battery: green when full, through gold to red • Custom: your own four colors LIGHT OPTIONS • Light from one edge of each hand, or both edges in their own colors • Light direction: clockwise, counterclockwise, toward each other (the hands light the gap between them and their colors meet), or away from each other • Light model: Ray traced, Neon (the hands glow like tubes), or Spotlights (light from the hand tips) • Brightness, glow spread (tight to flood), and soft, full or no shadows • An optional light trail behind the seconds hand DIAL • Full screen: the light fills the whole display • Circular: a round lit dial with four complications around it • Markers: pointers, minutes and hours, dots, numerals, Roman numerals, 12-3-6-9, or none, lit by the light, white, or dim • Your own monogram on the dial, up to 5 characters HANDS • Silhouette (dark hands with glowing edges), White, Glass, Neon, or Split • Slim, regular, or bold • Seconds hand on or off, in white, the light color, red, yellow, orange, or cyan COMPLICATIONS (CIRCULAR DIAL) • Four complications, from 54 fields: heart rate, steps, battery, Body Battery, stress, weather, sunrise/sunset, calendar, second time zone, race predictions, and more • Or any complication from the watch's face editor (hold the face, then Customize), including ones from your other Connect IQ apps • Tap one to open its Garmin widget ALWAYS-ON Glowing edges, outline hands and markers, hands only, or off. The always-on face moves a few pixels on every update to protect the AMOLED screen. INSTINCT CROSSOVER AMOLED The watch's own physical hands shine the light.
