HUB2 Cockpit - World Clock and Body Battery
· vv1.0
About
Everything the watch knows, on one screen, without leaving your local time behind.
HUB2 Cockpit is a dense watch face built the way the most installed faces on the
store are built: the time owns a third of the screen, every metric is an icon and
a number on a single line, and nothing writes out the name of a metric to steal
the room the digits need.
WHAT YOU SEE
Time in 24-hour format, hours in white, minutes in the HUB2 orange
Date and the HUB2 mark
Sunrise and sunset, computed from the weather observation point
Temperature, heart rate, Body Battery, unread notifications
Two cities of your choice, with their local time
Steps, calories, watch battery
A split ring around the dial: right half your step goal, left half your Body Battery
FIVE LAYOUTS, ONE FACE
The same content, five arrangements. Change your mind from your phone at any
time, with no reinstall.
Cockpit Pro - the readable density, and the default
Cockpit - instrument dial, tick ring, two goal arcs, week strip
Board - four cities as a departures board
Radar - cities placed around the ring at their own hour
Terminal - two columns of metrics, no ornament
TIME ZONES THAT NEVER DRIFT
47 cities to pick from. Each city time is derived from real coordinates, so
daylight saving is applied on its own, year after year. There is no offset to
enter and nothing to correct twice a year.
ONE PERMISSION, AND IT IS THE ONE THAT PAYS
Heart rate, steps, calories, floors, intensity minutes, stress, weather and
sunrise are all read without asking for anything. The single permission,
Complication Subscriber, unlocks what Garmin computes and exposes nowhere else:
Body Battery. Comparable faces ask for seven.
ALWAYS-ON
When the screen stays lit, the face drops to muted colours with no filled shapes
at all - time, date and your two cities. On an AMOLED panel a black pixel is an
unlit pixel, so this is what keeps the display and the battery alive.

SETTINGS
Cities and layout are set from the phone: Garmin Connect, Devices, your watch,
Connect IQ, Watch Faces, HUB2 Cockpit, Settings. Watch faces cannot show a menu
on the watch itself - that is a Connect IQ rule, not a shortcut taken here.
GOOD TO KNOW
Body Battery needs a watch that computes it and a night of wear before it reads
anything. A dash instead of a number is normal behaviour, not a defect. The same
goes for temperature, which comes from the weather sync and needs the phone to
have connected at least once.
Nothing is collected, nothing is sent anywhere. Every value is read on the watch
and drawn on the watch.
