About
A chronograph for the wrist you actually train on.
Three digital subdials carry the numbers you check, instead of stopwatch
counters you don't. Each one shows the value as seven-segment digits, with its
rim filling to show the level at a glance.
YOU CHOOSE WHAT THEY SHOW
Every subdial takes any of sixteen readings: heart rate, steps, stairs
climbed, Body Battery, stress, resting heart rate, battery percent, battery
days, calories, distance, active minutes, notifications, altitude, sleep
score, the date, or nothing at all.
Out of the box they are steps, heart rate and Body Battery.
Where a reading has a real range, the rim fills against it. Where it has none
- calories and distance have no natural full mark - the rim stays empty and
only the number is shown. A gauge that points somewhere implies a scale you
can trust, so this one does not pretend.
Sleep score needs a watch with Garmin's newer software: fenix 7, fenix 8 and
Forerunner 255 and 955 have it, fenix 6 does not. It simply will not appear in
the list on a watch that cannot supply it.
A day-date aperture sits at 3 o'clock, with watch battery and bluetooth and
notification glyphs in the pockets below. That's the whole face. Nothing is
crammed in to pad a feature list, because a dial you can't read at a glance
isn't a watch.
Applied indices, a twin-baton 12, and a floating sweep-seconds hand that ticks
while your wrist is raised and stops the moment it drops - so it costs you
seconds, not hours of battery. You can switch it off entirely.
SIX THEMES
Signature, Dark, Navy, Emerald, Classical and White. Every colour is chosen to
land exactly on the display's own palette, so what you see is what the panel
renders - no muddy approximations.
TWO KINDS OF SCREEN
On a reflective display your watch has no backlight, and its brightness is the
light it gives back. That is why the hands and indices here are the brightest
things on the dial and the furniture is deliberately dimmer: the glance order
is built out of contrast, not colour.
On a bright always-on screen the face switches to a separate low-power view
between glances. Not a dimmed copy of the dial - a different drawing, with the
hands as thin outlines, four indices, and the sweep seconds hand off entirely.
It keeps the panel dark and moves slightly minute to minute, so nothing is
held in one place.
SETTINGS, ON THE WATCH
Hold the menu button on the watch face. Theme, sweep seconds and all three
subdials are there, and the dial changes as you choose.
You can also use your phone if you prefer: Garmin Connect app, then your
device, Connect IQ Apps, Watch Faces, chrono72, settings. Both routes write
the same setting.
Built for fenix 6, fenix 6 Pro, fenix 7, fenix 7 Pro, fenix 8 Solar 47mm,
fenix 8 AMOLED 47mm, Forerunner 255, Forerunner 255 Music, Forerunner 955,

What's new
Now runs on bright always-on screens. Between glances the face switches to a
separate low-power view that keeps the panel dark: the hands as thin outlines,
four indices, and the sweep seconds hand off entirely.
Adds Forerunner 970, Forerunner 965 and fenix 8 AMOLED 47mm, and the launcher
icon is drawn at their size rather than scaled up to it.
