Tessera – Minimal Watch Face
· v1.1.1
About
Set it all up your way in seconds — here's how ↓
Tessera is a calm, carefully crafted watch face for people who want only what matters — and nothing more.
A large, clean time, perfect spacing, and below it exactly the data you actually use.
Tessera has three modes, which you pick in the watch face settings in the Garmin Connect IQ app:
• Pure — time and date only. Clean and quiet, with nothing to distract you.
• Daily — the time plus your everyday data (steps, heart rate, battery and more).
• Goals — the same data, bound to progress arcs around the face. At a glance you see how close you are to your goal.
In Goals mode each goal starts at 0, which simply means automatic — the arcs work right away, no setup needed. Want your own target? Just type your number in that slot and tailor every goal to yourself.
Everything is configured in the Garmin Connect IQ app → your device → My Watch Faces → Tessera → Settings. No fiddling on the watch itself. You can change:
• The mode (Pure / Daily / Goals)
• What each data field shows: steps, heart rate, battery, floors, calories, distance, sunrise and sunset, and more
• Progress arcs for your daily goals
• Seconds: always visible / only on wrist raise / off
• Date automatically in your language, based on your watch settings
Tessera also has an Always-On mode tuned for AMOLED screens and one consistent color scheme across both AMOLED and MIP displays. It works on 80+ watch models.
We want you to have the watch face exactly the way you like it. If something is missing or doesn't work right, please email us first at [email protected] — we reply fast and will help you set it up or fix it in an update.
And if you enjoy Tessera, a positive review genuinely helps us and motivates the next face. Thank you.
