Please consider leaving a review or sending me feedback directly, it really helps the development! Apex lays your day out as one clean instrument. A struck-metal grid divides the dial into sections, each with its own framed readout, so a dense stack of training and health data reads at a glance instead of turning into clutter. Across the top: the time, the date and your battery, with quiet status cues for notifications, alarms and Do Not Disturb. The hero panel leads with your heart: the live beats-per-minute beside a rolling sparkline and a small table of where it sat an hour ago, two hours ago, and at rest. Beside it, a Body Battery trend panel draws the day's charge and drain as a filled curve. Below sits a row of vitals cells — blood oxygen, respiration and stress out of the box — each a compact number with its own little level bar. A training band runs the footer with VO2 max, recovery time and your next race prediction. Two goal rails sweep the rim — steps up one side, calories up the other — each filling toward the target already set on your watch. Nothing on the dial is stuck where it starts. Every panel, cell, trend and rail is a picker into a deep catalogue of heart, body, activity, training and weather metrics, so you can build the exact dashboard you read all day. Six palettes set the whole face in one move — Aurora, Ember, Mono, Ocean, Sunset and Berry — recolouring every section that follows the theme, with a clinical Mono option for pure legibility. The panels take on the look you like too: from the sculpted machined-metal default to a battery-saving minimal outline, with soft, gold and neon styles besides. The rim finish is yours as well — struck ticks, knurled or turned metal. Units follow your watch, the clock reads 12 or 24-hour with am/pm, and the date is localized. Every number is set in a custom-baked typeface and every icon drawn crisp and anti-aliased on the watch itself. The always-on display is burn-in-safe by design: a dimmed, low-pixel clock with the date and battery as opt-in tiers, shifting gently through the day. No ticking seconds, to spare your battery. Open the watch face settings in the Garmin Connect IQ app to make Apex your own. Press and hold any readout to open the full metric. Set the palette, panel style, bezel, clock colour, labels and training layout from the watch itself, or in the Garmin Connect IQ app.
