About

Metric Ultra is a clean, data-focused watch face designed for training, outdoor activities and everyday use. It combines essential training, recovery, health, environmental and system information in a compact monochrome layout designed for quick readability and low visual clutter. Currently supported devices: • Garmin Instinct E 40 mm • Garmin Instinct E 45 mm • Garmin Instinct 3 Solar 45 mm • Garmin Instinct 3 Solar 50 mm • Garmin Instinct 3 Tactical Solar 45 mm • Garmin Instinct 3 Tactical Solar 50 mm Features include: • Digital and analog time • Day / month date display • Current altitude • Training Status • VO2 Max • Recovery Time • Body Battery • Daily Steps • Battery percentage with a 5-stage battery indicator • Charging status visualization • Solar charging visualization on supported Solar models • Sunset time • Current weather temperature • Automatic temperature source switching when the phone is disconnected • Wrist/device temperature fallback • Warning indicator when wrist temperature is displayed • Alarm status • Phone connection status • Do Not Disturb status Smart Temperature Fallback: When weather temperature is unavailable because the phone connection is lost, Metric Ultra can automatically switch to temperature data from the watch sensor. An exclamation mark appears next to the thermometer to indicate that the displayed value is wrist/device temperature rather than outdoor temperature. Altitude: Metric Ultra displays the current altitude directly on the watch face together with a compact mountain icon for quick outdoor reference. Charging Visualization: The battery icon automatically changes when charging is detected. On supported Solar models, solar charging activity is additionally indicated by a solar symbol when sufficient solar intensity is detected. Adaptive Device Layout: Metric Ultra includes dedicated layout adjustments for different supported Instinct screen sizes, including the compact 40 mm Instinct E display. System status indicators are dynamically centered depending on how many indicators are currently active. Power Efficient Data Updates: Metric Ultra is optimized to reduce unnecessary system and complication requests. Steps, battery data, charging status, solar information, recovery data, health metrics, temperature, altitude, date and other system information use a controlled 60-second update cycle, while the digital and analog clocks remain current. The goal of Metric Ultra is simple: provide as much useful information as possible at a glance while keeping the interface clean, readable and efficient.
