About

Penumbra is a bright, data-dense digital watch face built for people who want the whole picture at a glance — the time, your day's activity, and the sky outside — without digging through menus. The hours and minutes dominate the centre in big, clean digits, with the seconds set a size smaller in your chosen accent colour so they never get in the way. Named for the penumbra — the soft edge between light and shadow — the face ships with both a Light and a Dark theme, so it looks right in the sun or in the dark, on your wrist or on the nightstand. Around the time sits a full ring of complications, each with a crisp icon: • Heart rate • Body Battery • Device battery • Steps • Distance (miles or kilometres, matched to your watch units) • Calories • Floors climbed • Alarms • Notifications • Live weather — current temperature, today's high/low, and a condition icon that reflects the actual sky: sunny, partly cloudy, cloudy, rain, snow, thunderstorm, windy, fog, or wintry mix. The date sits up top, with AM/PM folded in automatically when your watch is set to 12-hour time. Make it yours in the settings: • Theme — Light (white background, black digits) or Dark (black background, white digits) • Accent colour — Orange, Blue, Green, Red, or Yellow for the seconds • Show Seconds — turn the seconds off to save battery on AMOLED watches • Show Date — on or off • Show Weather — on or off Penumbra is laid out relative to your screen, so it looks sharp on everything from compact fenix and Forerunner models to the largest AMOLED displays — fenix, epix, Forerunner, Venu, vivoactive, Instinct, Approach, Descent, D2, and MARQ. Everything that depends on a sensor or a connected phone (heart rate, Body Battery, weather) is checked safely at runtime, so the face keeps working even when a feature isn't available — it simply shows a dash until the data arrives. Note: weather data comes from the Garmin Connect app on your phone. Keep the app connected and weather enabled to see live conditions. Set Penumbra as your watch face and get the time, your stats, and the sky — all in one clean glance.
