Newspapers started calling them flying saucers in the summer of 1947, and the name stuck. Somewhere along the way, the stories also decided that visitors from space are strangely interested in cows. Close Encounters puts that legend on your wrist: a friendly alien, a flying saucer and one cow having a very unusual day. It is a free watch face with a glowing green tractor beam, a violet night sky and a bold digital clock. The saucer and floating cow stay still while your daily data does the work. AT A GLANCE - Bold digital clock that follows your watch's 12/24-hour setting. - English date with the day, three-letter month and date, such as TUE SEP 15. - A lower arc that shows progress toward your daily step goal, regardless of which data fields you choose. - Five data fields: two above the clock and three below it. FIVE FIELDS, 10 CHOICES Choose each of the five data positions independently. Available choices: - Heart rate and resting heart rate - Steps and Body Battery - Stress and calories - Floors climbed and active minutes today - Watch battery and notification count - Empty Use the watch face's Settings menu to choose your fields. You can show the same value in several places or hide a field. The default layout shows watch battery, notifications, heart rate, Body Battery and steps. Colors and artwork are fixed. FREE FROM THE START No payment, subscription, unlock code or external account is needed. No weather service or API key is required. This face has no weather, moon phase or sunrise/sunset fields. ALWAYS ON When the watch sleeps, the always-on display takes over: a violet saucer beaming up the clock, with the date, battery, notifications and a lime step arc. It is dimmed at bedtime, follows your watch's display settings, and moves a few pixels every minute to protect AMOLED screens. GOOD TO KNOW - Health and activity values depend on Garmin data availability. Missing readings show dashes. - Notification counts above 99 show 99+; message content is not accessed. - Very large counters use K/M only when needed to fit. Calories are Garmin's total daily calories.
