VECTOR FORGE — PUBLIC BETA
Vector Forge is currently in public beta and is completely free to use. It will remain free for the entire beta-testing period during which no payment or activation is required.
Pricing and licensing for any post-beta release will be announced separately. Because this is beta software, some features may still change and occasional issues may occur.
BETA FEEDBACK
Testing, feedback and reviewing the watchface are greatly appreciated. If something looks incorrect on your device, a metric does not update as expected, or you encounter a crash, please use the “Contact Developer” option and include:
- A short description of the problem
- A screenshot or photo, if possible
Weather, health and activity information depends on the data and capabilities available from your Garmin device. Some metrics and touch shortcuts may not be supported by every model.
Thank you for helping shape Vector Forge.

DISPLAY SUPPORT
Vector Forge is designed for both AMOLED and MIP Garmin watches.

MIP devices use optimized fonts, solid high-contrast colors and efficient rendering suited to always-visible reflective screens.
