About

Kestrel is two watch faces in one — pick the look that fits your day, right on the watch. Open the on-device editor and choose your Style. ► MAX — the full data cockpit. Every metric that matters, packed edge-to-edge: • Bold stacked clock — white hours, accent minutes • 3-line date front and center — weekday, day, month • Top band — resting heart rate and calories • Body Battery + Device Battery — a split gauge showing both at a glance • Live HR zone arc — current heart rate, color-coded by training zone • VO2 Max dials — run and bike fitness with category (Good / Excellent / Superior) • Steps and intensity minutes • Stress histogram — recent stress trend, color-coded by level ► LITE — a clean, focused dial. The essentials, with room to breathe: • Big bold clock and a simple one-line date • HR Zone Ladder — a segmented arc that lights up through your personal heart-rate zones (blue to green to yellow to orange to red) as your effort climbs • VO2 Max run and bike dials • Device battery as an arc along the bottom MAKE IT YOURS • On-device editing (fenix 8+): switch between Max and Lite, change the accent color, and swap dial metrics — all on the watch, no phone needed • Personalized HR zones — the Lite zone ladder reads your own zone boundaries from your Garmin profile • 6 accent themes: Amber, Green, Cyan, Purple, Red, Ice White • 12h / 24h, match-watch or forced; optional seconds • Choose from 20 metrics per configurable slot via Garmin Connect BUILT RIGHT • True always-on display — the bold clock, dimmed, with full date and AM/PM, respecting AMOLED burn-in limits • Reads only on-device sensors and synced weather — no data ever leaves your watch, no account, no network A premium data face built on a reusable engine — more faces in the family to come.
