Bloom Noir

Bloom Noir is a floral watch face for round AMOLED Garmin watches. The artwork runs full bleed behind the dial, with textured blooms in the margins and deep black through the middle where the time sits. Hours are ivory and minutes use your accent colour. Below the clock, a joined signature line and three thin rings hold 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 an icon, value and range-aware progress arc, plus a caption on larger watches - An optional two-line message at the bottom, blank until you write one WHAT YOU CAN CHANGE - Accent colour: blush, rose gold, champagne, dusty rose, ivory, blue, light green, lavender or peach, each with textured floral artwork, or a new one every week - Text size: standard, large or extra large, for the date, temperature, complication values and captions - 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. 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.

Four new accent colours have joined the palette: blue, light green, lavender and peach. Each has matching floral artwork with the same petal texture, edge depth and quiet black centre as the original backgrounds. The accent colour can now rotate weekly. Choose Rotate weekly and Bloom moves to the next colour, with its matching floral background, at the start of each week, following the first day of the week set on your watch. Text size is now a setting. Large and Extra large enlarge the date, temperature, complication values and small captions. On smaller watches text starts at Large. The bottom message is now empty out of the box. Write one in settings to show it. A progress bar can now run around the edge of the dial. It is off until you switch it on, and you choose what fills it: any of the three rings, or steps, battery, Body Battery, intensity minutes, floors, stress or Pulse Ox directly. Press and hold the rim to open the app behind it.
