Runner Performance

Runner Performance puts your whole training picture on the watch face. FITNESS AT A GLANCE A VO2 max dial arcs across the top of the screen and rates your current fitness against Garmin's own bands for your age and gender — Poor, Fair, Good, Excellent or Superior. The coloured marker shows not just which band you are in, but where you sit inside it, so gradual progress is visible long before the band itself changes. YOUR RUNNING NUMBERS Under the time, three fields track the running that actually matters: - TODAY — distance covered so far today, in miles or kilometres to match your watch's unit setting - PACE — the pace of your most recent run - WEEKLY — total running distance over the last seven days SIX SLOTS, YOUR CHOICE Configure six complications from Garmin Connect: two at the top, three along the bottom, and a progress arc down the left edge. Pick from heart rate, steps, calories, altitude, temperature, floors climbed, battery, distance and active minutes — or switch any slot off for a cleaner face. The bottom-centre slot and the edge arc draw as progress gauges against your daily goals. Solar charge efficiency appears automatically on watches that report it. PRESS AND HOLD TO OPEN Every metric on the face is a shortcut. Press and hold a slot and the watch opens the app or glance behind that number: the heart rate widget from the heart rate slot, the steps glance from steps, the altimeter from altitude, and so on. It works on the VO2 max dial, the weekly distance total, the date, the solar chip and all six configurable slots. THREE LAYOUT PRESETS One setting decides how much of the face is drawn, and how large. FULL shows all eight fields: the two top slots, the TODAY / PACE / WEEKLY row, the two bottom side slots and the bottom gauge. BALANCED drops to six — the bottom side slots step aside and everything left moves up a type size. FOCUS drops to three: the running row steps aside too, the time takes the next size up, and the bottom gauge grows to fill the space. Switching presets never rewrites your slot assignments. It only changes which of them are drawn, so you can move to Focus and back and find every choice exactly where you left it. NINE ACCENT COLOURS Pick the accent from Garmin Connect: lime, cyan, blue, violet, magenta, red, orange, yellow or white. It carries the minutes, the hour ticks, the field labels, the units and the edge arc, so the whole face changes tone while each metric keeps its own colour. BUILT FOR BOTH DISPLAY TYPES On MIP watches (fenix 7, fenix 8 Solar, fenix 9 Pro Solar, Enduro 3, Forerunner 255 / 955) the seconds keep ticking in low-power mode, updated under a tight clip so the power budget is never in danger. On AMOLED watches (fenix 8 / 9, epix Pro, Forerunner 265 / 570 / 965 / 970, Venu, vívoactive, MARQ Gen 2) the always-on display switches to a dim, sparse render that shifts position between minutes to protect against burn-in, staying well inside Garmin's pixel-lit limit. The entire layout is drawn from screen-size fractions rather than fixed coordinates, so it scales to every supported screen instead of being pinned to one resolution. LANGUAGES English, Brazilian Portuguese, German, French, Spanish and Italian, with localised dates and fitness band names. PRIVACY AND PERMISSIONS Two permissions, each for one reason. User Profile reads your VO2 max and your recent activity history: that is what powers the fitness dial, the pace field and the weekly distance total. Complication Subscriber is what lets a press and hold on a slot open the app behind that metric; it is used for nothing else. Nothing is transmitted anywhere, every value stays on your watch, and there is no network access of any kind. SUPPORTED WATCHES 63 round-screen models: fenix — 7 / 7S / 7X, 7 Pro / 7S Pro / 7X Pro, 8 43mm / 47mm, 8 Pro 47mm, 8 Solar 47mm / 51mm, 9 43mm / 47mm, 9 Pro 43 / 47 / 51mm, 9 Pro Solar 47 / 51mm, fenix E epix — epix (Gen 2), epix Pro 42 / 47 / 51mm Forerunner — 70, 165, 170, 2
