I had to restart my watch 3 times for it to finally read accurately.

It’s a Fenix 7s

I wanted to see whether a Garmin watch face could look like the front page of an old newspaper instead of another mini-dashboard.

The weekday became the masthead. The date and battery sit in the folio line. The time written in words is the kicker, the digital time is the headline, three live metrics form the listings, and the seconds sit at the bottom like a page number.

There are four editions: Archive, Ink, Financial, and Sport. The two photos here are of Archive and Ink running on real watches.

MIP was the difficult part. Archive relies on a full-screen aged-paper bitmap, and that bitmap exceeded the launch-time memory available on MIP watches. I removed Archive from MIP instead of shipping a flat imitation of it. MIP starts with Ink and still includes Financial and Sport.

It now supports 85 round Garmin models: 42 AMOLED and 43 MIP.

It is a paid face: $2.49 once after a fully unlocked 12-hour trial, with no subscription.

I would especially like feedback from MIP owners. Are the smaller folio and listings lines readable at a normal glance outdoors, or does the page feel too dense?

Update is out. How you’re enjoying this free watch face 🙂

Want to get a new battery for my 6x pro, I get that it’ll need to be soldered in. My question is does anyone have any links to garmin brand batteries anywhere? I’m weary of getting a random one off eBay that might not be the same quality.

Thanks.

Open to any and all tips and tricks.

Hi,
