Description
Crimson Cadence brings a mountain-road cyclist scene, bold italic time and six customizable data fields to your Garmin watch.
This watch face costs USD 4, a one-time external Athlete World license for up to 3 watches. The store listing is currently hidden; new purchases will be available when it is released.
How to purchase and activate:
1. When available, buy Crimson Cadence at https://athleteworld.store/en/themes/crimson-cadence
2. Complete checkout and copy the activation code from your Athlete World confirmation email.
3. Install Crimson Cadence from Connect IQ and open its Settings.
4. Paste the code into Activation code, tap Save, and keep your watch connected to your phone. Activation runs in the background; the first attempt can wait for Garmin's permitted background interval, and temporary connection errors retry later.
An individual purchase license supports up to 3 watches. A connection is required for activation and for connected data such as weather. Activation is preserved for subsequent updates of this new listing.
This version supports temporary Athlete World Pass licenses. Each Pass license is for one watch and expires with the paid period. Existing permanent purchase activations are retained. Pass availability for this watch face depends on server-side rollout; this update does not enable it by itself.
Features:
- 20 selectable color themes, including the original red design.
- 6 independent data fields with 50 choices, including an empty field.
- LiveHeart and supported native complication updates while the face is visible and awake.
- Colored Always On and Full Always On with an alternating opaque spatial mask on AMOLED. Supported MIP profiles retain the complete cover during sleep.
- System, 12-hour and 24-hour formats, date formats, distance units and weekly calendar.
- Dates and data labels in English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese and Polish. License status messages also support these seven system languages.
- Long press to open supported native complications. Availability varies by device.
Activity speed, cycling cadence, activity distance, elevation gain and ride time depend on Activity.Info supplied by the watch. They can be unavailable outside an activity. Other metrics depend on device capabilities, available native data, sensors and connected services. Unavailable values display --. A watch face does not replace a cycling activity application.
