Bloom Noir
· v1.0
About
Bloom Noir is a floral watch face for round AMOLED Garmin watches. The artwork runs full bleed behind the dial, coordinated blooms in the margins and deep black through the middle where the time sits. The clock is set in an original high-contrast fashion serif: quiet oval forms, fine hairlines, smooth curves. Hours are ivory and minutes use your accent colour. Below it, a joined signature line and three thin rings for the numbers you actually check.
ON THE DIAL
Day of week and date, set in wide small caps
Current temperature and conditions, cascading down the upper right
The time, with tabular figures
A handwritten "A Brighter You" line, or your own phrase in small capitals
Three complication rings with a value, label, optional source icon and range-aware progress arc
A quiet two-line message at the bottom, also yours to write
WHAT YOU CAN CHANGE
Accent colour: blush, rose gold, champagne, dusty rose or ivory. Each pairs coordinated floral artwork with the minutes, script line, arcs, icons and hairlines.
Each of the three complications, independently
The perimeter progress bar: off, mirroring a ring, or its own source
12 or 24 hour time, or follow the watch
Show or hide the phrase, weather block and bottom message
Background brightness, to sink the florals further into the black
Seconds, while your wrist is raised
COMPLICATIONS
On watches with Garmin's native face editor, each ring uses Garmin's live, device-aware picker: every compatible native source, plus complications published by installed Connect IQ apps, with the source's own short label, value, unit and icon. A ring fills against your own goal where you have one, and against 0 to 100 for battery, Body Battery, stress and Pulse Ox. Heart rate and other sources with no meaningful scale keep a clean empty ring.
Watches without that editor set their rings in Garmin Connect instead, from every native Garmin complication type.
Press and hold any ring, the weather block, the date or the perimeter bar to open the app behind that number.
PERIMETER BAR
An optional arc around the edge of the dial, filling clockwise from twelve in your accent colour. It ships switched off. Point it at any of the three rings and it carries that ring's source, a Connect IQ complication included, or give it a source of its own and leave all three rings free for something else. Only metrics with a real scale are offered.
The bar is not drawn in always-on mode. A lit circle held for hours at the fixed edge of an OLED panel is exactly what burns one in.
ALWAYS ON
In always-on mode Bloom Noir drops the artwork entirely and shows the time in a dim accent with the date beneath it, on true black. That is under 1.9% of the panel lit, and the block drifts two pixels on a slow cycle so nothing burns in.
Seconds appear while your wrist is raised. On an AMOLED watch the system controls the always-on refresh, so no watch face can tick seconds there. Bloom Noir does not pretend otherwise.
SUPPORTED WATCHES
Round AMOLED models only: Venu 2, 2S, 2 Plus, 3, 3S, 4 41mm and 4 45mm; Vivoactive 5 and 6; Forerunner 165, 170, 265, 265S, 570, 965 and 970; fenix 8, fenix 9 and fenix 9 Pro; fenix E; epix and epix Pro; Instinct 3 AMOLED.
Not offered for transflective watches such as the fenix 7 family: those panels render 64 colours, and the blush and rose gold ramp this design is built from does not survive the trip.
