DIALFORGE
Mono Tiles

A black and white data panel drawn pixel by pixel for the Instinct screen and its round sub-window.

The first field sits inside the round sub-window, four more in a grid below the time. The icons are 9 by 8 pixel drawings made by hand, so they stay sharp on a one-bit screen. Dark mode turns the dial black. Made for Instinct 2, 2S, 2X and Instinct 3 Solar 45 mm. No logo or model name on the dial.

Features

  • Five fields, 30 data types to choose from for each
  • Hand-drawn pixel icons
  • Dark mode (white on black)
  • Data refresh: normal, battery saver or fresh
  • Lean: no animations, no background service, one redraw per minute

Data fields: heart rate, steps, battery, distance, calories, floors, active minutes, Body Battery, stress, altitude, notifications, solar intensity, battery days, temperature, sunrise, sunset, next sun event, respiration, SpO2, recovery time, pressure, resting heart rate, VO2 max, sleep score*, 5K prediction*, weekly run distance*, moon phase, week number, day of year, or empty.

Instinct 2, 2S, 2X and Instinct 3 Solar 45 mm.

Garmin does not give watch faces access to HRV status or Training Readiness, so no Connect IQ watch face can show them.

Code not working? Write to kontakt@dialforge.dev and we fix it or refund you.

Settings: in the Connect IQ app or in Garmin Connect, under this watch face.

A little request from the maker

Dialforge is my student project. I build these watch faces after classes, so they are still at an early stage, and I could not test every watch model myself. If something looks wrong on your watch, please do not leave a negative rating: write to me first at https://dialforge.dev/faces/monotiles/ and I will fix it, usually within 24 hours. A kind review means more to me than you can imagine. And if you like my work, you can buy me a coffee (the link is at the bottom of dialforge.dev): I am saving up to pay for my studies. Thank you for your patience and for giving a young developer a chance.

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.

In preparation

Mono Tiles 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.
