Description
Hyperdrive 1B turns your Garmin AMOLED display into a purpose-built cockpit. Every readout has a fixed address on a baked instrument panel, so your eyes go straight to the number they need, with no scanning and no clutter.
What you see at a glance:
- Time (HH:MM) in dominant white Michroma numerals, the largest element on the panel.
- Device battery and Body Battery side by side in the upper zone, so you know both charge states before lifting your wrist.
- Calories displayed mid-panel alongside the date, always visible.
- A configurable bottom complication showing the metric that matters most to you.
Four cockpit themes:
Switch themes from Garmin Connect Mobile. The cockpit plate and the readout accent color change together, so every theme looks intentional rather than pasted on.
- Cyber Cyan (default): cyan glow on a dark panel with magenta bezel detail.
- Arctic Steel: brushed-steel plate with an icy blue-white accent.
- Crimson: black carbon plate with a red accent.
- Emerald: steel plate with a mint-green accent.
The center time stays white on every theme for immediate legibility.
Configurable bottom complication:
Pick one data field for the bottom panel slot: Steps, Heart Rate, Calories, Body Battery, or Watch Battery. Set it to None to keep the lower panel dark. The setting takes effect without a restart.
Date format options:
Choose the date format that matches how you think: Day-Month (DD-MM), Month-Day (MM-DD), or ISO week number (for example, W23).
Always-On Display:
On supported AMOLED devices, Hyperdrive 1B switches to a burn-in-safe AOD state. The cockpit art, icons, and complication values suppress. A dim time and optional date remain. The layer drifts within a safe pixel envelope each minute to protect the screen.
Battery discipline:
The active face redraws once per minute. There is no persistent animation, no seconds hand, and no per-second refresh. Body Battery reads from SensorHistory on a cached path, not the draw hot path. On a typical daily-wear session this keeps battery impact in the range you would expect from a stock face.
Device compatibility:
Hyperdrive 1B runs on 46 round AMOLED Garmin devices across four resolution buckets: 454x454, 416x416, 390x390, and 360x360. Square and rectangular Venu variants are not supported; the round cockpit plate requires a square canvas.
One purchase unlocks the face on every compatible device you own.
