Description
A field dial with two ways to read the time.
Baluarte pairs luminous-style olive hour markers and metallic skeleton hands with a large, clear digital clock. Recessed panels hold the date and your watch's remaining battery estimate, with discreet connection and notification icons.
YOUR THREE DATA FIELDS
1. Left panel reading: above the date. Empty shows notification and connection icons.
2. Right panel reading: battery days by default; choose another reading in Settings.
3. Top reading: above the hands, replacing the upper BALUARTE / FIELD signature. Empty restores the upper signature when enabled. The lower BALUARTE signature remains visible when enabled.
Keep Show data panels enabled to display the readings. The date is independent, so you can show date, steps, battery and altitude together.
Make it yours with ten color themes and three configurable readings. Choose steps, heart rate, Body Battery, battery percentage or days, calories, distance, floors, stress, altitude, watch sensor temperature, current weather, intensity minutes, pressure or VO2 max. Readings depend on your watch and the data it provides; unavailable data appears as dashes. Watch sensor temperature uses the watch's sensor history. Battery days use Garmin's own estimate where available.
CURRENT WEATHER
Choose Current weather for any of the three readings to show outdoor temperature and a weather condition icon. The temperature follows your watch's Celsius or Fahrenheit preference. Weather uses Garmin's most recently cached conditions; no API key or extra account is required. If weather shows dashes, check that the watch has weather data available in its weather widget and sync with Garmin Connect.
Keep the classic hybrid layout, show only analog or digital time, or hide individual decorative blocks. For a cleaner dial, turn off Show dial signature in Settings. This hides both BALUARTE labels and the FIELD / AMOLED or MIP subtitle while keeping the time, date and selected readings. Seconds appear while awake. Your watch's 12/24-hour and unit preferences are respected. Settings apply without restarting the watchface.
The always-on display keeps the recognizable dial, hands, large time and data arrangement on a dim black canvas. Compatible MIP watches retain a full, crisp dial in low-power mode. Native on-watch complication and color editing is available on supported models; phone settings remain available across the supported range.
On-watch languages: English, Spanish, French and German.
No account. No subscription. No data sent off the watch.
Baluarte is an independent watchface and is not an official Garmin product. Promotional images use simulator renders; appearance and available readings vary by device.
