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.
• Birthdays and anniversaries in a second field ("Mum 12.3., Wedding 5.6.") join the same list and the same alert.
• The glance tells you when someone from your list has a name day tomorrow.
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.
• Special days: Mother's Day, Father's Day, Valentine's Day, Women's Day, St Nicholas Day and the clock changes, with an optional alert the evening before.
• Settings on the watch as well as in Garmin Connect — one set of settings, not two copies.
• German and English interface. 111 supported watches.
Name days follow the Catholic calendar of saints for the German-speaking area; public holidays are the nationwide statutory ones.
What's new
1.7 - 2026-09-13
- NEW: Birthdays and anniversaries. Garmin Connect has a second field next to My names: "Mum 12.3., Wedding 5.6.". They join My names and the alert reminds you the evening before.
- NEW: My names in the glance. When someone from your names has a name day tomorrow, the glance says so instead of the ordinary tomorrow line; a birthday today shows as "TODAY · Mum".
- NEW: Special days — Mother's Day, Father's Day, Valentine's Day, Women's Day, St Nicholas Day and the clock changes. A badge on today's screen, a suffix in the year list and, if you want, an alert the evening before.
- Support for 10 more watches — 111 in total: Instinct 3 Solar (45 and 50 mm), Instinct E 40 and 45 mm, Venu Sq Music, fenix 5X, D2 Delta, Delta S and Delta PX, Descent Mk1 and vivoactive 3 Music LTE. Instinct gets a black-and-white look with the day number in the round window.
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.
