Lunar Aperture

A dress watch face with a real moon in a sunken window.

Lunar Aperture is a calm analog dial: deep midnight blue sunburst, applied faceted hour markers and a domed bezel around a recessed moon window at six o'clock. The moon shows tonight's phase in 8 steps, worked out on the watch from the date. No phone, no network.

  • Faceted hands lit from one side, with a shadow that turns with each hand.
  • Dauphine or baton hands, gold or silver, and a crimson seconds hand if you like.
  • Second dial: Onyx black with silver markers.
  • Date window at 3 o'clock. Optional window at 9 o'clock: weekday, steps, heart rate or battery.
  • Southern hemisphere view mirrors the moon the way you see it in the sky.
  • AMOLED: pre-rendered dial with soft light and shadow. Colour MIP (fenix, Forerunner, MARQ): its own dithered dial made for 64 colours.
  • Always-on mode on AMOLED: thin outlines only, shifted every minute, no seconds.

Data shown: date, weekday, steps, heart rate, battery (all optional). Missing data appears as "--".

7-day free trial, then a one-time unlock code at dialforge.dev (no subscription).

Settings: on the watch (hold MENU, then Watch face, then Customize) or in the Connect IQ app. Changes show live on the watch.

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.

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

In preparation

Lunar Aperture is not in the Connect IQ store yet. It will appear there when Garmin approves it. This page will then get the install button and the price.
