TELEMETRA Lite
· v0.9.7
About
Telemetra Lite turns your Garmin into a clear, data-rich instrument panel for everyday life, training and recovery. It is a complete free watch face built around fast readability, flexible layouts and the information already available on your watch.
TWO DISTINCT FACES
Choose Grid for an organised dashboard with configurable data cells, a history graph, progress rings and compact widget rows. Choose Apex for a more expressive instrument layout with analog hands, a power line, hourly bars and a focused data block. Both styles share the same themes, settings and data system, so you can change the look without rebuilding your setup.
HEALTH, ACTIVITY AND DEVICE DATA
Fill the display with the metrics that matter to you: heart rate, steps, Body Battery, stress, calories, floors, distance, intensity minutes, pulse ox, respiration, resting heart rate, sleep score, training status, VO2 max, watch battery, notifications, date, sunrise and sunset. Unavailable readings remain unavailable instead of being displayed as a misleading zero.
History graphs reveal useful trends directly on the watch face. Follow heart rate, steps, elevation or stress across a configurable time range, with styles and colours that fit the rest of the dashboard.
CURRENT WEATHER AT A GLANCE
Garmin current weather provides temperature and conditions through the weather data on your watch. No separate account, token or service configuration is required. Weather can sit alongside your health and activity metrics without taking over the display.
MAKE IT YOUR INSTRUMENT
Start with one of twenty colour themes, then tune the face to your own priorities. Select visible data fields, choose ring metrics and geometry, configure graph presentation, arrange widgets and adjust colours for the date, conditions, accents and dashboard elements. Built-in and custom presets make it easy to keep several useful configurations while every individual setting remains editable.
Rings turn daily goals into a quick visual signal. Widgets add compact context without sacrificing the central time display. Grid and Apex preserve their own character while using the same coherent Telemetra design language.
TOUCH ACTIONS AND DIRECT CONTROL
Touch zones connect visible parts of the face to Touch Actions. Hold a supported data field to open its Garmin glance, hold the graph to cycle graph metrics, or hold the clock to cycle saved custom presets. Garmin watch faces use deliberate holds rather than quick taps, helping prevent accidental actions.
The on-watch menu keeps one page at a time in memory. Common face, theme, AOD, ring, preset and data-field choices are available directly on the watch. Selections persist and apply immediately. Additional visual details can be configured in Garmin Connect, the Connect IQ app or Garmin Express.
ALWAYS-ON DISPLAY
Choose exactly the AOD style that fits your priorities: 0 = Dim Full, 1 = Analog, 2 = Big Clock. Dim Full preserves useful dashboard context in a reduced palette. Analog keeps the instrument hands and major ticks visible. Big Clock focuses on time and date. All three favour black AMOLED backgrounds and use minute-based burn-in shifting.
Telemetra Lite combines a complete Grid and Apex experience, Garmin current weather, native health and activity metrics, graphs, progress rings, widgets, presets, twenty themes, Touch Actions and three practical AOD modes in one focused watch face.
