SoltaFace
· v1.1.0
About
SoltaFace is a clean, high-contrast digital watch face designed for fast readability on supported Garmin MIP watches.
The layout keeps the information that matters most visible at a glance, without turning the watch face into a crowded dashboard.
Features:
• Large, highly readable digital HH:MM time
• Configurable seconds behavior: active-only or always-running
• Battery-friendly default mode freezes seconds in low-power mode
• Weekday and date
• Battery percentage with a visual progress indicator
• Exact daily step count
• Current/latest wrist heart rate
• Support for five-digit step counts
• Graceful heart-rate fallback when data is unavailable
• High-contrast custom typography optimized for MIP displays
• Native layouts and font resources for 176×176, 240×240, 260×260 and 280×280 displays
• On-watch settings on supported devices
Compatibility:
SoltaFace supports selected Garmin MIP watches, including:
• fēnix 5 Plus family
• fēnix 6 family
• fēnix 7 family
• fēnix 8 Solar MIP models
• Instinct 2
• Instinct 2X
Each display size uses its own native layout and typography rather than simply scaling a single design.
SoltaFace is intentionally minimal: time first, useful data second, no unnecessary decoration.
