Peaklog Watch face

PeakLog shows what matters in the mountains: the time, large and calm, the date above it, your heart rate, your elevation and your steps below. At the bottom, two peaks with a golden heartbeat line running across them. Heart rate live from your wrist, behind an ECG symbol. When no reading is available, PeakLog falls back to the last one measured. Elevation stands beside it, in metres, or in feet on watches set to statute units. On watches without an altimeter the field is dropped and the heart rate moves to the centre. Below that the steps, with room for a fourth value beside them if you want one: calories, battery or floors climbed. Without it, the step count sits in the centre. A ring at the edge of the display follows the day's steps. It counts against your own daily goal, not a built-in 10,000. Ice blue, gold, or off. The time follows your watch's 12- or 24-hour setting, or you set it yourself; in 12-hour mode a small AM or PM stands beside it. The date appears in the language of your watch: THU 16 JUL in English, DO 16. JUL in German. Fourth field, ring colour and time format are set on the watch itself, in the watch face menu. No phone needed. 99 of the 113 models can do this, all of them running Connect IQ 3.2 or later; on the remaining 14 the settings are made in the Garmin Connect app as before. Always-On shows only the dimmed time and shifts it by a few pixels every minute, which protects the display. PeakLog reads only the values on your own watch. It sends no data, needs no phone, and does not run in the background. The only permission it requests is access to the elevation history. For 113 Garmin models, from Venu to fenix.

New: steps on a line of their own, with a footprint symbol. A ring around the display tracks the day against your own step goal — ice blue, gold or off. Symbols now stand in front of heart rate and elevation instead of text labels. Fourth field, ring colour and time format are set on the watch itself, no phone needed; 99 of the 113 models can do that. English is now the base language, with German alongside; date format and separators follow it. 12- or 24-hour time with AM/PM.
