Bold Outdoor was made for a customer with an Enduro 3 who wanted the clear layout of an adventure watch face, but with everything bigger, because small icons are hard to read on the move. On top sits a large day number with the weekday and month next to it. Below it the time in a frame, then three fields with icons and digits of about 8% of the screen height, and two more fields at the bottom.

  • Sunrise until the sun is up, then the coming sunset, and after sunset the next sunrise. One field, always the next event.
  • Weather with a large icon and the temperature. Older weather stays on screen with a ~ sign, so you know it is not fresh. Your town is shown in the top edge of the time frame.
  • Battery in days (or percent, if you prefer), heart rate and steps by default. Every one of the 5 fields can show any of 32 data types or stay empty: body battery, stress, altitude, pressure, floors, calories, notifications, time zones and more.
  • Field reading frequency: every minute, 5, 15 or 30 minutes. Weather, town and sensor history are then read less often. Heart rate, steps, battery and the sun times stay live.
  • Four time sizes, three sizes of field values and three of the date. Accent colour for the frame and the day number, plus colours for time, values, labels and icons.
  • Field labels can be switched on, but they are off by default: the big icons say what each field is.
  • Press and hold a field on touch watches to open the matching Garmin screen (heart rate, weather, steps, calendar).
  • MIP screens (Enduro 3, Enduro 2, fenix 7, fenix 8 Solar, Forerunner 255 and 955) use the 64 colour palette and thick lines that read well in the sun. AMOLED watches get an always-on mode: time and date, the whole face dimmed, or the time only, moved a little every minute.
  • Glucose from your own CGM account (LibreLinkUp, Dexcom Share, Nightscout) as one of the field options on watches with enough memory. Not a medical device, no alarms, the data does not go to Dialforge.
  • Menu in 35 languages, weekdays and months in your language, 12 or 24 hour time.

All settings are in Garmin Connect (Connect IQ, watch face settings). On the watch: Customise for the fields, sizes, field reading frequency, seconds and battery unit.

When the watch has no reading, the field shows --. Weather needs the phone connected from time to time.

Permissions and privacy

This product asks the watch for the permissions below. Connect IQ shows them when you install it.

  • Sensor history: Reads recent values stored by the watch (for example Body Battery, stress, heart rate, steps trend).
  • Your profile: Reads your Garmin profile on the watch (for example age, weight, heart rate zones) to calculate values for you.
  • Watch data (complications): Shows data from other watch features, such as battery or steps, on the face.
  • Location (GPS): Uses the watch location for distance, speed or sun and moon times. The location is not sent anywhere.
  • Background process: Lets the app run short tasks in the background, for example reminders.
  • Internet through the phone: Lets the watch make a web request through your phone. Used only for the colour service described below.

Popular colour sets service

Every 6 hours the face downloads the list of popular colour sets from dialforge.dev. If you changed the colour set, it also sends that set's number. The request contains only the number, the face name and the face version. It contains no watch ID, no unlock code and no e-mail. We count choices, not people. Details: privacy policy.
