Watch Keeper

A watch face for passages and night watches: when your watch ends, who is next, and what the barometer is doing.

  • 24 hour ring with your watch system: each watch in its team colour, the current one filling up, sunrise and sunset marked.
  • Time to the change of watch in large digits, amber in the last 15 minutes, red in the last 5.
  • Current and next watch with times, team letters (2 to 4 teams) and when your own team is on again.
  • Watch systems: 4, 3, 2 or 6 hours, 4 hours with dog watches, or Swedish 4-4-5-5-6. You set the hour of the first watch.
  • Barometer in hPa with the change over the last 3 hours (arrow, amber from -3.6, red from -6.0 hPa).
  • Wind speed (knots, Beaufort, m/s or km/h) and direction from Garmin weather.
  • Moon phase, sunrise and sunset, date and UTC.
  • Red night mode: automatic from sunset to sunrise, always on, or off.
  • Always-on mode: dimmed time and one line with the time to the change.

Teams: pick the number of teams, then set "Team on watch now" once; the face keeps the rotation from there.

Honest limits: a watch face cannot vibrate or sound an alarm at the change of watch. Wind comes from Garmin weather via your phone (forecast for your area, not wind on the water). The 3 hour trend needs a watch with a barometer and 2.5 hours of readings. Missing data shows "--".

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.

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

Watch Keeper 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.
