MONOLITH: Big digital with great customization
· v26.9.11
About
Instant Readability. Nothing Compromised.
Two massive overlapping digits dominate the screen. Hours on top and minutes below, with optional side progress bars. So clear you never have to look twice. Monolith is engineered for instant readability with style — available for both AMOLED and memory-in-pixel (MIP) displays.
BOLD BY DESIGN. MAKE IT YOURS (AMOLED watches)
Thousands of color combinations. Seriously.
* 17 colors across hours, minutes, background, and each progress bar
* Big numbers. Easy to see digits
* Solid or outline font selections for both hours and minutes
* 9 theme presets including Flame, Nebula, Midnight, and Volt Strike
* Custom mode for total control over every color selection. Not sure where to start? Pick a theme. Want to go deeper? Create your combo from scratch
* On-watch quick settings with full customization in the Garmin Connect app
AMOLED ALWAYS-ON DISPLAY IN STYLE
Always-On Display (AOD) uses outlined fonts and a dimmed color palette to preserve battery without sacrificing style. Five brightness levels let you dial in exactly how much glow you want at rest.
MIP DISPLAYS
Monolith's signature look, built for the always-visible, ultra-efficient screens on fēnix 7, Forerunner 255, Forerunner 955, Enduro 3, and more.
* 14-color palette (10 accents + 4 neutrals), picked directly for hours, minutes, background, and each progress bar — no theme system needed
* Solid or outline font selections for both hours and minutes
* The same on-watch quick settings as AMOLED — set hour color, minute color, background color, font style, and progress bars right from your wrist
* MIP screens are always-on by nature, so you get all-day visibility without a separate AOD mode or extra battery drain
PROGRESS BARS (every watch)
Two arc bars curve along the bezel. Configure each one independently or hide them entirely. Track Battery, Steps, Intensity Minutes, Floors Climbed, Body Battery, or Date.
(Left default: Battery, with 20% per bar — 5 bars showing means 100%. Right default: Date)
MONOLITH: Less watch face. More statement.
