Let me know when it's in the Garmin store

Leave your e-mail. I'll write when this face is in the Garmin store and when new faces come out. From the store you install it in the Connect IQ app and fixes arrive on their own.

A watch face styled after an aircraft instrument panel. The centre is a round cockpit gauge with six instruments you can switch between: altimeter clock, airspeed, attitude, turn coordinator, heading and vertical speed. Around it sit eight data fields on dark panels, a status strip, a mini compass and a Body Battery ring.

Raise your wrist and the needles sweep into place, the horizon ball and the heading card settle, the Body Battery ring fills and the turn coordinator rocks for a moment. The animation lasts about a second and a half, only runs while the screen is fully awake, and can be switched off.

Two layouts: Concept, with eight fields and a compass in the corner, and Large, with a big clock and four large values (temperature, heart rate, steps, battery).

What the instruments really show:

  • Altimeter clock: analogue time, barometric pressure on the drum and the needle, altitude from the watch.
  • Airspeed: a decorative gauge. The needle shows your heart rate or your step goal progress (your choice). It is not an aircraft speed.
  • Attitude: the horizon ball tilts gently with the pressure trend of the last three hours. The face cannot read wrist tilt.
  • Turn coordinator: a decorative gauge that rocks when you raise your wrist.
  • Heading: wind direction from the phone weather, the last compass reading, north up, or Auto. The watch only refreshes its compass reading shortly after you use the Compass app, so an old reading is marked OLD and wind direction is marked WND.
  • Vertical speed: climb or descent trend from the altitude history, smoothed.

Each of the eight fields can show one of more than 30 kinds of data (temperature, wind, altitude, steps, calories, heart rate, VO2 max, pressure, stress, floors, sunrise and sunset and more) or stay empty. Each field has its icon, the value with a small unit and a short label; a label that does not fit in your language is left out rather than cut in half. The pressure field shows a trend arrow for the last three hours.

The status strip above the bottom panels shows the phone connection, the number of notifications, alarms, Do Not Disturb and the next sunrise or sunset.

You can also set the always-on screen on AMOLED (time and date, time only, or off; the hands are drawn as thin outlines and the picture shifts every minute), the seconds hand, the date language and the data refresh. Everything can be changed on the watch too, in the Customize menu with a live preview. The menu is translated into 35 languages.

Works on fenix 8 and fenix 9 watches with an AMOLED or MIP (Solar) screen, in the 43, 47 and 51 mm sizes. The MIP version uses clean colours from the screen palette so it stays readable in sunlight.

The face asks for location access only to read the last known position for weather and sunrise data. It sends nothing to the internet.

Trial: the face works fully for 7 days. After that the settings go back to defaults and the face shows your Watch ID and dialforge.dev. Buy a code for that number and enter it in the Connect IQ app, in the face settings. Code not working? Write to kontakt@dialforge.dev and I will fix it or refund you.

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.

This product does not use the internet and sends no data to our servers.
