VECTOR FORGE Vector Forge is a highly customizable, information-rich watch face built for people who want useful data displayed in a clear and visually pleasing manner. The core idea is versatility: you can choose from a wide variety of fonts, color gradients, gauge- and graph styles. The data options include all the standard options available on high-end Garmin watch faces and more are added in response to user requests and Garmin availability. ENJOYING VECTOR FORGE? If you enjoy using Vector Forge, an honest Connect IQ review helps the project enormously and makes it easier for other Garmin users to discover the watch face. Have an idea, feature request or problem? Use *Contact Developer*. Feedback is always welcome and continues to shape future updates. Weather, health and activity information depends on the data and capabilities available from your Garmin device. Some metrics and touch shortcuts may not be supported by every model.

More options are added continually. TOUCH SHORTCUTS On compatible touchscreen watches, press supported areas to open the corresponding Garmin information. Look at the pictures to see the touch zones. The touch feature can also be disabled. DISPLAY SUPPORT Vector Forge is designed for both AMOLED and MIP Garmin watches. AMOLED devices receive rich gradients, graph fills and a protected always-on display. The always-on mode retains the main information while using subtle pixel management and reduced graphical fills to help limit burn-in and battery use. MIP devices use optimized fonts, solid high-contrast colors and efficient rendering suited to always-visible reflective screens.

4.10.2026 We've reached the end of the beta testing. Thank you for all great contributions and suggestions, most of which have been integrated along the way! This release includes a large wave of updates along with a standard trial period of 24 hours. NEW UPDATES: - Customizable gauge- and graph designs. The user can now choose from a variety of different gauge and graph styles (try out "Laurel Progress" style for gauges - my new favourite!) . - New data options: Weekly bike distance goal, next calendar event - Larger font sizes for some of the smaller data fonts to increase legibility - Language options for date in specific: The date will now be displayed in ASCII abbreviation format for English, French, Spanish, German and Italian, depending on your watch language settings. More language customizations might be added later - Alternative to switch off graphs - Notification- and alarm number count - Status icons now show only if activated, making the bottom less cluttered Though the beta phase ends with this update, do let me know if you are missing anything that would make the watch face more useful.
