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.

We use your e-mail and the site language only for these messages, based on your consent (art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You confirm with a link we e-mail you. Details: privacy policy.

Set up the face before you download

A digital watch face on a photo of mountains above a sea of clouds at sunset. A large time in the middle with the minutes in your accent colour and small seconds next to it. At the top an arc with the battery, below it the weekday, the date and the full month name. At the bottom four fields, each with an icon, a label and a progress bar.

The photo is darkened under the text so the time and numbers stay readable, also in sunlight. On watches with a MIP screen (fenix 7, fenix 8 Solar, Forerunner 255 and 955) the mountains are a black silhouette against the sky, because the 64 colours of such a screen cannot show the orange haze without noise. Prefer no photo? The "Dark background" style is black with a mountain outline.

By default the fields show steps, distance, calories and heart rate, and the top arc shows the battery. Each of the five places can be changed. You can pick from 33 kinds of data, including energy level, stress, altitude, temperature with a weather icon, pressure, floors, VO2 max, sleep score, wind, humidity, UV index and chance of rain. A field can also stay empty.

The bars only show progress where there is something to measure it against: steps and floors against your watch goals, distance and calories against a goal you set in the face, heart rate against the maximum heart rate from your profile. A field without a goal shows an empty track.

You can also set:

  • the accent colour: red, orange, gold, green, turquoise, blue or white,
  • minutes in the accent colour or white,
  • thin minute marks on the edge of the screen,
  • the label at the bottom: watch model, your own text up to 16 characters (ready-made: DIALFORGE, SUMMIT, TRAIL, ALPINE) or nothing,
  • seconds (hidden automatically when the watch saves the screen),
  • the thresholds where the battery turns orange and red,
  • how long weather data counts as current. The phone sends the weather and the face cannot force it to fetch new data, so older data shows as "--",
  • the always-on screen on AMOLED: whole face dimmed (default), time with date, time only or off,
  • the date language (13 languages), time format and leading zero.

You can change everything on the watch too, in the Customize menu. Watches with more memory show a live preview; on older ones (fenix 5 Plus, 6S, Forerunner 245, 745 and 945, the first MARQ, Descent Mk2 S, Venu Sq) the menu is a plain list.

The 05-55 number ring in the preview picture is the watch bezel, not the screen, so the face only has optional minute marks.

Works on 101 Garmin watches: fenix 5 Plus to fenix 9, epix, Enduro, MARQ (also MARQ 2), D2, Descent (also Mk2), Approach S50 and S70, Forerunner 165 to 970, Venu (also Venu Sq), vivoactive 4 to 6, the Legacy series and Instinct 3 AMOLED. Older models (fenix 5 Plus and 6, Forerunner 245, 745 and 945, the first MARQ, Venu, Venu Sq, vivoactive 4, Enduro, Descent Mk2, the Legacy series) have no memory for the photo: there the face always uses the dark background with the mountain outline. On the square Venu Sq and Venu Sq 2 the round face sits in the middle of the screen.

The face asks for location access only to calculate sunrise and sunset on the watch and to tell day from night for the weather icon. It sends nothing to the internet.

Trial: the face works fully for 7 days. In the last 3 days the number of days left appears at the bottom. After that 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 (Unlock code).

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.
