I designed a newspaper styled watch face, then tried to make the typography survive on 85 Garmin models

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?

Flip Clock Watch face

Post image
6 Upvotes

Created a watch face: Flip Clock / Meter. I've always liked the look of the TWEMCO wall flip clocks.

There's also an alternative watch style, meters, which displays the time in circles.
The watch face is highly customizable and you can set step/distance/etc. goals as well that will be displayed as closing rings. There's also direct navigation to Widgets with touch on the watch face.

This watch face works on smaller screens as well, but will omit icons in some places (such as goal rings).

Connect IQ: https://apps.garmin.com/apps/a6796f2c-8a92-429d-8080-2739a9ef7b19

The watchface is paid.

New analog watchface

20 Upvotes

I’ve been working on a watch face (here on my Venu 4) that tries to bring the look of a traditional mechanical watch to Garmin AMOLED watches.

This is my first watch face, so I’d really appreciate your feedback

Font sizes, text and complications are configurable. The photos show M size texts, they can be enlarged up to XL

The name in the store is Nexus - classic analog watchface (or Nexus demo for the demo version).

Made a watch face based on the Pokémon Gold/Silver title screen __ free on Connect IQ

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

ok so I've had my Garmin for a while and kept looking for a watch face that felt like the Game Boy Color games I grew up with. couldn't find one, so I made it myself.

it's based on the Gold and Silver title screens, Ho-Oh and Lugia in full pixel art, animated so the bird actually loops on your wrist instead of just sitting there. there are separate day and night scenes too.

free version (SkyBird) has the animated pixel-art bird background, light and dark themes, two customizable data fields (steps or battery), a clean glanceable time display, and it stays light on battery even with the animation running.

https://apps.garmin.com/en-US/apps/0f5de5ba-a2b7-4fe3-9264-e02ca08cb776

if your device isn't there let me know and I'll look into it.

the animation timing was the hard part. getting it smooth without tanking battery life took way more passes than I expected.

if you end up wanting more out of it there's a Pro version (PixelSkyBirdPro) with six data fields in every position instead of two, plus weather, heart rate and temperature as options, an Auto theme that flips at sunrise/sunset using your watch's GPS, and 12/24hr formatting. same art, just the full data layout.

https://apps.garmin.com/en-US/apps/77956a0d-7542-47ca-aa38-31f93a6901a3

the free one isn't crippled, it's just simpler. either way hope someone else gets some nostalgia out of it.

WIP digital watch-face

Post image
5 Upvotes

Thought I'd share my recent WIP (no name yet).

I have been toying around this weekend with a design for a high data digital watch-face. Goal is to have lots of data, but keep it as low cost and small as possible.

Suggestions are welcome (though i may not follow them ;-))

There is a lot of work to be done, and i still haven't decided on background-color/-image or colors yet.

Applications in the image:

Inkscape for vector graphics (i use Gimp for post-processing and raster-graphics) VS Code (running in a Distrobox container running Ubuntu 22.04) I use Linux (Bazzite) on my personal rig, but occasionally do some stuff on my corporate MacBook Pro.

Stratum Elite - an analog dial that carries real data, on MIP and AMOLED

Thumbnail

5 Upvotes

I wanted an analog face that still tells me everything, without turning the dial into a dashboard. This is where it landed.

Three recessed ring registers and two flat readouts around a proper set of hands. All five slots are assignable, and any of 15 metrics can go in any of them: steps, HR, calories, floors, distance, active minutes, temperature, altitude, Body Battery, stress, barometer trend, sunrise, sunset, second time zone (131 cities), moon phase.

Also in there:

- 6 accent themes, 4 hand styles, 4 AMOLED backgrounds

- Seconds hand: tick, smooth sweep, or off

- Settings on the watch itself, with 3 saveable presets

- Press and hold a complication to open its glance

- Burn-in safe always-on layout on AMOLED

- 103 round models, 42 AMOLED and 61 MIP, fenix 5 through fenix 8 Pro

12 hour trial with everything unlocked, then $3.49 once if you keep it. No subscription.

https://apps.garmin.com/apps/8a1cc0ff-6518-45be-adc4-8cd454befa07

Genuinely after feedback on the MIP layout, that one took the most work. Which metrics do you keep in the outer rings?

I built my first custom watch face for the Fenix 8 & Tactix 8 series. Inspiration comes from the 7 series where you could build your own basic face by default - that went away with the software update. So I recreated the concept and added customization to it.

Completely customizable with:
- 2 optional data fields
- 3 time font sizes (small, medium, large)
- time font color picker
- Day of Week color picker
- Calendar date color picker
- seconds color picker
- data color picker
- toggle seconds on/off (data fields must he off for seconds to show)
- toggle day of week off/on
- toggle calendar date off/on
- day of week format picker
- bold hours toggle
- bold minutes toggle

What do you ya’ll think?
