A climbing watch face with your own photo as the background: altitude, elevation gain, vertical speed and six more data fields over a picture you choose.

7-day free trial, one-time unlock, no subscription.

The photo edition of Woman Climber: same layout, fonts and icons, with your own picture behind them. The face has no picture built in: until you send a photo, it shows a plain dark background with a short hint.

How to add your photo

1. Open the QR code. Touch screen: hold your finger on the face, away from the data fields (90 seconds). No touch or touch turned off: in the face settings on the watch turn on "Show photo QR code", and turn it off when the photo is there.

2. Scan it with your phone, or open foto.dialforge.dev and type the 8-character photo code shown under the QR code. The same code is in the face settings in Garmin Connect (Photo code).

3. Pick a photo, fit it in the circle, send it. The photo appears on the watch a few minutes later.

The watch needs a phone with Garmin Connect and internet nearby. For two hours after you show the QR code it checks every 5 minutes, then once an hour (Photo check in Garmin Connect).

Readable on any photo

The face darkens your photo and adds a thin shadow under every number, so the fields stay readable on snow or bright rock. Four levels of dimming in Garmin Connect (Photo dimming).

Change or delete

Change the photo as often as you like: same code, send a new photo on foto.dialforge.dev, the watch downloads the new version. "Delete my photo" on the same page removes it from the server and the watch goes back to the plain dark background.

Photo not showing?

The QR screen shows the minutes since the last check and a number after #. #0 or #1: all fine, wait a few minutes. #-1104 or other four digits starting with -1: the phone is not connected, open Garmin Connect. Four digits starting with -2, or #-404: the photo did not download, send it again. #-903: too big for the watch memory, the next try takes a smaller one. Anything else: send me the number.

On the face

  • 9 data fields, each one of 20: altitude, elevation gain, vertical speed, heart rate, calories, steps, watch battery, temperature, pressure, feels like, max and min, distance, floors, descent, Body Battery, stress, active minutes, sunrise and sunset. Hold a field to open its Garmin screen (touch screens).
  • 9 accent colours, seconds, text size, date in 24 languages.
  • Town name by the weather.
  • Always-on mode: time and date, the whole face dimmed, or only the time. Never the photo, shifted every minute.

Privacy

The server (Cloudflare) keeps only the cropped picture without EXIF or location, linked to the photo code, not to your name. Anyone who knows the code can see it, so keep it to yourself. More at dialforge.dev/privacy. The background service is used for the photo, so there is no glucose (CGM) field.

Trial: after 7 days buy a code for your Face ID at dialforge.dev and enter it in the Connect IQ app, in the face settings (Unlock code). Problems: kontakt@dialforge.dev.

Works on fenix 7, fenix 8, Forerunner 255, 970, Venu 4 and more AMOLED and MIP watches.

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.
  • 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.
  • Location (GPS): Uses the watch location for distance, speed or sun and moon times. The location is not sent anywhere.

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.
