About

Please note that this is a trial version, intended for your evaluation before purchasing the full version. Follow us on Instagram: @stashdigitale https://stashdigitale.com/helix-heritage Helix Heritage is a precision-crafted analogue watch face for Garmin, designed for those who wear a serious tool watch and still want it to look like a watch. Clean lines, restrained geometry, and a dial inspired by the golden era of mechanical chronographs: built for the wrist that demands both performance and presence. Helix Heritage takes its name from a defining shift in design language. In the 1990s, tools like AutoCAD made precision curves and rounded geometries suddenly accessible at scale. What followed was a quiet revolution, hard edges softened, circular forms emerged, and a new visual rhythm took hold across industrial and product design. For the full expression, Helix Heritage pairs naturally with Garmin’s titanium band, where the continuous curve of the links mirrors the dial’s geometry. Every element of Helix Heritage can be made yours. Choose from 27 carefully curated accent colours, each one hand-matched to Solar/MIP displays so it looks as considered on a memory-in-pixel screen as it does on AMOLED. Set your hands independently, dial in transparency levels, and choose whether your hour marks appear filled or as clean contour marks. The second hand runs in its own colour, separate from everything else. The dial features a battery arc: your hour marks quietly double as a battery level indicator, showing body battery or watch battery charge at a glance without cluttering the face. Functional. Invisible unless you know it's there. A larger font option is available for those who prefer instant legibility over ornament. Helix Heritage is engineered for efficiency. The minimal complication count means your battery works harder for your workout, not your watch face. Complications supported: • Heart Rate • Intensity Minutes • Steps • Floors Climbed • Calories • Active Calories • VO₂ Max Run • VO₂ Max Bike • Body Battery • Stress • Pulse OX • Respiration Rate • Recovery Time • Move Bar (!on newer devices, shown under “10k Race Predictor” metric name!) • Current Weather • Temperature High/Low • Humidity (!on newer devices, shown under “Forecast Weather 3-day” metric name!) • Pressure (Sea-Level) • Wind Speed / Direction (!on newer devices, shown under “Current Temperature” metric name!) • UV Index (!on newer devices, shown under “Forecast Weather 1-day” metric name!) • Precipitation (!on newer devices, shown under “Forecast Weather 2-day” metric name!) • Solar Input • Tide (!on newer devices, shown under “5k Race Predictor” metric name!) • Moon Phase (!on newer devices, shown under “Sunset” metric name!) • Digital Time • Week Number (!on newer devices, shown under “Weekday/Monthday” metric name!) • Sunrise / Sunset • Calendar Events • Time Zones (DST-aware) • Notification Count • Battery Level • Training Status • Weekly Run Distance • Weekly Bike Distance • Phone Connection Lost Indicator *complications are optional and can be fully disabled. When configured without additional metrics, Helix Heritage becomes an even more minimal and classic timepiece, suitable for formal occasions and understated daily wear. This stripped-back configuration reduces visual complexity to its essentials and further improves energy efficiency, allowing the watch to operate with lower power usage.

What's new

Helix Heritage 2.0 is here! Please note that this is a 60-minute trial version, intended for your evaluation before purchasing the full version. This is a big one. Under the hood, 2.0 is the most significant performance update Helix Heritage has ever received: the kind of work you do not see but absolutely feel on the tip of your fingers. Battery efficiency is meaningfully improved across the board. New: • Separate data colour configuration: your complication data now has its own colour setting, independent from the main accent colour; • Hands outline colour for MIP: on Solar devices you can now choose hands outline colour: mono, grey, or silver; • Minimal AOD: a new option that removes complications entirely in AOD mode. Clean dial, no distractions, maximum efficiency while your wrist is down. • Data value colour configuration: choose how your data values are coloured: accent colour, mono while active, or always mono. • Minute marker colour: customise your minute markers independently: accent colour, data colour, or mono. • Press & hold on 12/6 hour marks: long-press either hour mark to open its respective app directly. • Native editor improvements: significant performance improvements to the in-watch customisation experience on Venu 4, Fenix 8, and newer devices. • Misc bug fixes and visual improvements: the usual care and attention between the lines. If you enjoy Helix Heritage, please consider leaving a review of this update: Ratings go a long way. They help us continue designing, developing and bringing new watch faces to life. Check out our fastest and most efficient watch face yet: Aperture Digital, available under “More from this developer”. ––– 1.2.1: • misc bug fixes • Fenix 9 support 1.2: • configure different progress visualisations for 12-hr and 6-hr marks: - Body Battery - Steps - Intensity Minutes - Floors climbed - Stress - Pulse Ox - Solar Input (Solar devices exclusive) - UV index - Precipitation - Relative Humidity - Next Sun Event • further MIP screens fidelity improvements • updated pressure trend complication (shoutout Andy for the suggestion!) • improved Swiss font support on devices that offer it • squashed some rare crashes • misc bug fixes and performance improvements
