About

N13 Apex is a bold digital watch face built for users who want large, readable time and useful daily data in one organised layout. Version 1.0.2 is a major internal refactor and UI refinement focused on issues reported in the first release: clipped labels, cramped values and inconsistent spacing across different screen sizes. The watch face now uses redesigned display-specific layouts, custom fonts and stricter field rules to keep information readable across supported AMOLED and MIP watches. ### Clear, Structured Layout Four configurable data fields sit on the left, while large stacked hours and minutes dominate the right. An optional seconds badge, complete date and Bluetooth connection indicator complete the layout. Labels, values, progress bars, weather conditions and the heart-rate wave are positioned independently for each display profile. Valid values are displayed in full rather than shortened with ellipsis, hidden or replaced because a field is narrow. ### Configurable Data Choose from supported combinations of: * Floors Climbed * Floors Descended * Heart Rate * Battery * Steps * Intensity Minutes * Body Battery * Total KCAL * KCAL Goal * Stress * Weather * VO2 Max Field availability is adapted by display type and position so complete labels and values remain within the usable screen area. Battery can show percentage together with Garmin-provided remaining runtime when available. Weather displays the current temperature and a compact condition. KCAL Goal shows current daily calories against your configured target. Press and hold a supported field to open its matching Garmin glance. Floors Descended remains display-only because no matching system destination is available. ### Improved Readability The refactored interface introduces: * Custom bold fonts for AMOLED and MIP * Better spacing between values, labels and progress graphics * Improved positioning near curved display edges * Complete five-digit step values without truncation * Clear compact labels where full wording cannot fit safely * Improved seconds positioning and optical alignment * Refined MIP date formatting These changes preserve the original Apex identity while making the watch face clearer and easier to read across different case sizes and resolutions. ### Ten Complete Color Modes Choose from: Apex, Champagne Gold, Classic Ivory, Urban Slate, Ivory White, Arctic Blue, Antique Brass, Navy Ice, Meadow Lime and Bright Gold. Each mode controls the complete interface, including time, date, values, labels, dividers, progress tracks, progress fills and seconds accents. Apex retains its signature grey hours and orange minutes. ### Additional Settings * 12-hour or 24-hour time * Optional active-use seconds * Celsius or Fahrenheit * Four configurable data fields * Daily calorie goal from 1 to 20,000 * Ten Color Modes * AMOLED pixel shifting * Optional battery percentage in Always-On Display ### AMOLED and MIP Support AMOLED Always-On Display uses a compact grayscale layout with time, date, optional battery percentage and protective pixel shifting. MIP low-power mode retains the complete watch face and configured data while hiding seconds. N13 Apex supports 43 selected watches across the D2, Descent, Epix, Fenix, Forerunner, Instinct AMOLED, MARQ, Venu, vivoactive and Enduro families. **N13 Apex combines strong digital time, practical performance data and meaningful visual customisation without turning the screen into an overcrowded dashboard.** **Character count:** approximately 3,550 including Markdown. The feature and compatibility claims are based on the current README.
