A digital watch face built around a wide display panel across the middle of the screen, painted as a left-to-right colour gradient. Text sitting on the panel is black; text outside it is white. Everything on the dial is drawn from vector primitives, so it renders at the native resolution of each watch. TIME - Large digit font, sized by the watch itself. - Black on the panel; white in Dark Mode. - Time format: watch default, 12h, 12h with leading zero, 24h, or military. - AM/PM is shown in 12-hour mode only. - Optional seconds on their own grey plate. They tick once a second while the watch is awake and read as dashes in low power. PANEL AND COLOUR - Display Color A (left) and Display Color B (right) set the panel gradient, each from twelve colours: white, light gray, light blue, blue, mint, light green, green, yellow, orange, red, pink, purple. - Display Gradient can be switched off, leaving a flat panel in Color B. - Dark Mode removes the panel and leaves the readings on the black background. - On 64-colour MIP screens the gradient is drawn in a few deliberate steps, snapped to the colours those screens can show. DATA - Five data slots, each showing one of 20 readings with a matching icon: steps, calories, distance, heart rate, resting heart rate, Body Battery, stress, altitude, VO2 max, floors (total, climbed, descended), active minutes (day, week, moderate), notifications, battery in days, sunrise, sunset, week number. - Readings that depend on a sensor, or on data the watch has not gathered yet, show two dashes. Readings the watch cannot provide at all are not drawn. - Day of week, date and battery percentage. WEATHER - Current condition as one of twelve icons, with day and night variants, plus the temperature. - A temperature bar places a marker between the day's low and high. - Weather comes from the Garmin Connect app, so it appears after the watch has synced at least once. - Not available on watches running Connect IQ 3.2 or older. There the icon, temperature and bar are hidden rather than shown empty. INDICATORS (each can be switched off where noted) - Heart-rate zone bar: five blocks in the Garmin zone colours. The current zone is widened and carries the live heart rate. - Move bar (optional): a segmented ring with a face that follows how long you have been inactive. - Bluetooth dot, alarm bell (grey when none is set, red when one is) and notification dot (grey when none, orange when there are notifications). Each is optional. - Day-of-week strip of seven segments, filled up to today, with Sunday marked. - Battery strip of 23 segments. - Month strip of twelve segments, with the current month lit. - Day progress bar, filling from midnight to midnight. - Dot row (optional animation): five dots in which one red dot steps once a second, bouncing from end to end. - Studio logo (optional). ALWAYS-ON DISPLAY (AMOLED watches) - Low power shows the time only, in white on black, shifted a few pixels each minute to spread the load on the panel. - An optional date line can be added underneath. - This row does not appear in the settings on MIP watches, which stay visible without an always-on mode and keep drawing the full face. UNITS - Temperature in Celsius or Fahrenheit, or follow the watch setting. - Distance in metric or imperial, or follow the watch setting. SETTINGS - All settings are in the Garmin Connect phone app. - Watches on Connect IQ 5.0 and newer also have an on-watch settings menu that writes the same values. PERMISSIONS - Positioning: weather, sunrise and sunset. - Sensor History: Body Battery and stress. - User Profile: VO2 max, resting heart rate and heart-rate zones. - The face does not record, store or transmit any personal data.
