About

WristBench is a Connect IQ benchmark for Garmin watches. It measures real app-side performance across integer logic, VM memory behavior, local storage I/O, and 2D rendering throughput. Run the benchmark on your watch, upload the result, and compare your model on the public leaderboard. Scores are recalculated server-side and grouped by Garmin model to make comparisons easier. Results may vary by firmware version, Connect IQ version, battery policy, display type, screen resolution, and device temperature.
