What's new

v1.1.3 - New setting "Second Hand Outline": choose how the second hand crosses the other hands. Off (default) keeps it calm and quiet; On adds a 1px outline so the second hand visibly rides on top. Available in both Garmin Connect and the on-watch settings menu. v1.1.2 - Second hand refined for calm readability: it now sweeps quietly beneath the hour and minute hands with no flicker as it crosses them. v1.1.1 - APEX subdial: slimmed the hour hand so it reads as clearly distinct from the minute hand at a glance. v1.1.0 - New APEX subdial style: a hi-visibility analog dial designed for at-a-glance readability from a distance.
