Namedays DE

Type the names you care about and the watch reminds you the day BEFORE their name day — while there is still time for flowers. Plus the whole German name-day calendar on your wrist, with no phone and no internet. MY NAMES • Type the names of the people close to you in Garmin Connect, separated by commas. • The watch lists them by whose name day comes first — today in a pill, tomorrow outlined, the rest with a countdown. • Most names fall on several days a year; the list shows each name once, with its nearest name day. • A separate alert with its own switch and its own time. It arrives the day before; on the day itself it is late for flowers. • A name the calendar does not know stays in the list marked with an exclamation mark, so a typo is visible instead of silent. AND THE REST • Glance: today's and tomorrow's name day right in the glance list; a colour stripe shows whether today is an ordinary name day or a public holiday. • Main screen: the name of the day on its own card, tomorrow on a quiet line below; German public holidays (incl. Good Friday, Easter Monday, Ascension and Whit Monday) carry a badge with the holiday name. • Full-year list: scroll the whole year, jump to a month, or search a name — case- and umlaut-insensitive ("gunther" finds Günther). When a name falls on several days, the watch offers a list to choose from. • Daily alert: an optional reminder at a time you choose, telling you whose name day it is today. • Settings on the watch as well as in Garmin Connect — one set of settings, not two copies. • German and English interface. 101 supported watches. Name days follow the Catholic calendar of saints for the German-speaking area; public holidays are the nationwide statutory ones.

1.6.1 - 2026-08-31 - Support for 45 more watches — 101 supported devices in total: the whole fenix 9 family (43 mm, 47/51 mm, 9 Pro 43/47/51 mm, 9 Pro Solar 47/51 mm), Venu, vivoactive 3 Music, 4 and 4S, Forerunner 245 Music, 645 Music, 745, 945 and 945 LTE, the whole MARQ first generation, Instinct 3 AMOLED and Instinct Crossover AMOLED, Descent Mk2, Mk2 S, Mk3, Mk3i and G2, D2 Air, Air X10, Mach 1, Mach 2 and Mach 2 Pro, Approach S50 and S70, and the Legacy Hero and Legacy Saga watches. - Fixed: on the fenix 7 family, Forerunner 255 and 955, enduro 3 and fenix 8 Solar the palette for transflective displays was not applied at all, so today's highlight came out as a solid block of colour instead of a fine outline. 1.6 - 2026-08-21 - NEW: My names. Type the names you care about in Garmin Connect, separated by commas, and the watch keeps an eye on them. A new screen lists them in the order their name days come — today in a pill, tomorrow outlined, the rest with a countdown. - NEW: Because most names have several dates in the year, each name appears in the list once — with its nearest name day. - NEW: A separate alert for your names, with its own switch and its own time. It arrives the day BEFORE the name day — on the day itself it is late for flowers. - NEW: Settings on the watch. MENU on today's screen opens both alerts with their times, public-holiday highlighting, tomorrow in the glance, vibration and tap behaviour. Everything is still changeable from the phone as well. - A name the calendar does not know stays in the list marked with an exclamation mark instead of disappearing without a word, so a typo is visible. - Fixed: searching for a name could land on the wrong day — "Anna" found Johanna and there was no way to reach Anna. Whole-name matches now come first, and when several days match, the watch offers a list to choose from. - Fixed: searching for a name the calendar does not contain crashed the app. - Fixed: on watches with transflective displays (fenix 7 series, Forerunner 255 and 955, enduro 3, fenix 8 Solar) the highlight on today was drawn as a solid colour block instead of a fine outline. 1.3 - 2026-08-19 - New look: the name of the day now sits on a card and takes over the space the app title used to occupy; tomorrow moved to a single quiet line below it. - New icon: the tulip sits inside a year ring whose lit segment marks today. The ring and the language chip are gold, so the German app is distinguishable from the Czech and Slovak ones even at the smallest size. - Public holidays are marked with a badge naming the holiday instead of turning the whole screen red. - A short arc next to the START button shows which button opens the year list. - The date line now shows the day of the week as well. - Year list: months are separated by a full-width divider carrying the month name, Sundays stand out, and the highlight on today is calmer. - Every scroll step in the year list is accompanied by a short vibration. It follows the watch's own vibration setting and can also be switched off on its own. - Glance: a colour stripe along the left edge shows whether today is an ordinary name day or a public holiday. - Square-screen watches (Venu Sq 2, Venu X1) get a layout of their own with the next days. - Long names now shrink gently to fit instead of dropping to a much smaller size. - No change to the name-day data - it stays entirely inside the app, no internet needed.
