Digital Coach Dot Matrix Watch Face

Free forever. If you want to show some love and keep the caffeine flowing, you can grab me a coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/pdx7 A clean dot-matrix watch face for round Garmin watches, AMOLED and MIP, with a coach that actually reads you. White dot-matrix time on true black, a date and weather row, and one short coaching line underneath. Most faces hand you numbers and leave the reading to you. This one does the reading: it watches your Body Battery, stress, heart rate and movement, learns what normal looks like FOR YOU, and says one calm thing about it. Three or four words. It will not nag. All of it runs on the watch. No account, no network, no subscription, and nothing ever leaves your wrist. Free, and it stays free. WANT THE COACHING TO GO FURTHER? Digital Coach Pro is the paid version of this face. It adds an in-the-moment ring, a 0 to 100 score of how well right now suits you with a phase verdict (PRIME, MOVE, EASE or REST), three configurable gauges drawn from 23 metrics, detailed weather, any accent colour you can type as hex, multiple font options, and the Moment Breakdown app that shows the working behind the score. 24 hour trial, then one payment, no subscription: https://apps.garmin.com/apps/910b3635-e3ca-42fa-93eb-557aed246508 THE FACE * Dot-matrix digital time, built for round Garmin screens, AMOLED and MIP * Date, weather and current temperature in one row * A coaching line that learns your baselines and holds steady between glances * On AMOLED watches, a real always-on display, not a dimmed copy of the awake one * 12 accent colours: Ember, Tangerine, Coral, Rose, Fuchsia, Violet, Indigo, Sky, Ice, Teal, Mint and Lime. Only the accent changes, the face stays black and white. SETTINGS (in Garmin Connect: open Digital Coach, then Settings) * ACCENT COLOUR: pick one of the 12. * SHOW COACHING SUGGESTION: hide the line for a clean, time-only face. * BLINK COLON: blinks the ":" once a second while the watch is awake, solid when off. No effect on the always-on screen, which cannot update every second. * ALWAYS-ON STYLE: Minimal is time only and lightest on battery. Coach is time plus your current coaching keyword, so the coach stays on your wrist. * COACH FOCUS: Recovery, Activity, Calm, Sleep. Turn on any combination to steer the coaching toward what matters to you. All off is a balanced mix. Genuinely urgent cues, like high stress, still come through whatever you choose. * DAILY RECAP: once each morning the line reads back yesterday's activity and your recent trend, then returns to live coaching. SETUP, ABOUT A MINUTE Digital Coach uses your watch's own weather. If the temperature shows "--", open Garmin Connect, turn Weather on, and check that your watch has synced and has a location. The coaching sharpens after a day or two, once it has learned your normal ranges. There is no account to create. LANGUAGES: English, Deutsch, Français and Русский. The coaching, the date and every setting follow your watch's system language.
