About

A Soviet VFD tube recreated as a Garmin watch face. IV-22 Medium is a retro digital watch face inspired by the distinctive glowing digits of the Soviet IV-22 vacuum fluorescent display (VFD) tube. The goal is simple: bring the character of a vintage electronic display to your Garmin in a compact, balanced layout designed for everyday use. The IV-22 (or ИВ-22 in cyrillic) is a Soviet vacuum fluorescent tube from the 1960s. These tubes were widely used in electronic equipment before modern LED and LCD displays became dominant. Features: • Retro Soviet VFD-inspired design • Always-On Display (AOD) support • Clean and minimalist digital layout • Designed for quick and easy time reading • Seconds shown as a dot or a progress ring • Battery-friendly design with low power consumption • Supports almost all Garmin watches with AMOLED screens • Distinctive 7-segment digits based on the original IV-22 tube • Customize settings directly on your watch or from your phone IV-22 is available in three sizes: • Small — compact digits and a subtle look: https://apps.garmin.com/en-US/apps/f111e3b0-3d3f-4ebe-b8a2-998dae2a9ff0 • Medium — a balanced everyday layout • Large — larger digits for maximum readability: https://apps.garmin.com/en-US/apps/9a73f5d3-a308-457a-a39b-2a2a6164b367
