Please consider leaving a review or sending me feedback directly, it really helps the development! Strata is a goals-and-rings dashboard built for AMOLED — the readable, at-a-glance day view, executed for a true-black screen instead of a washed-out grey one. A large, custom-drawn clock anchors the face. Three slim goal rings trace the rim, each filling clockwise as you close it, and the moment a goal is met its tip blooms into a star. Point each ring at any goal you are closing — steps, active minutes, floors, calories or distance — and set your own target or let the watch's own goal stand. Pass 100% and the ring holds full while the star keeps travelling round. A trend timeline curves along the bottom; switch it between Body Battery, Stress, heart rate and elevation. Make it yours. Drop any of a broad catalogue into each of three data slots — heart rate, resting heart rate, heart-rate zone, Body Battery, stress, respiration, steps, active minutes, floors, distance, ascent, descent, total and active calories, goal remainders, temperature, elevation, pressure, solar intensity, weather, high and low, dew point, sunrise and sunset, battery, notifications and date, plus deeper Garmin health readouts: VO2 max, recovery time, race predictions, and — on newer watches — sleep score. Each has its own crisp on-device icon. Recolour each goal ring from eighteen named colours, and its matching value recolours to match. Quiet cues for phone connection, notifications, alarms and Do Not Disturb sit above the time; two more stats flank the date. Pick your time separator, a colon or a dot. There are no ticking seconds — a deliberate choice, because seconds are the number-one battery complaint on digital faces. Every number is set in a custom-baked typeface, smoothly anti-aliased for clean, exact letterforms, never clunky system fonts, and every icon is drawn crisp on-device. Distance follows your watch's unit setting, kilometres or miles; temperature follows Celsius or Fahrenheit; the clock follows your 12 or 24-hour setting. The always-on display stays burn-in-safe, showing only the dimmed clock with an optional date. Every ring, metric and colour is yours to change — open the watch face's settings in the Garmin Connect IQ app on your phone to make Strata your own.

What's new

V1.4.0 - Please note: this update needs TWO NEW PERMISSIONS, which you must accept when you update — your Garmin complication data (for sleep score, VO2 max, recovery time and race predictions) and your location (for sunrise and sunset). As always, nothing leaves your watch. A much wider choice for the three data slots, plus a live Garmin health-data feed. New complications you can now pick: resting heart rate, heart-rate zone, active calories (estimate), ascent, descent, solar intensity, high and low temperature, dew point, VO2 max, recovery time, race predictions, and sunrise and sunset — plus sleep score on supported devices (newer watches). Every complication icon has been redrawn for a crisper look. V1.3.0 - Settings menus are now localised in more languages — German, French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch, Polish, Swedish, Russian, and Simplified and Traditional Chinese, Japanese and Korean. V1.2.1 - Fixed the weekday sometimes showing as blank boxes on watches set to certain languages (for example Chinese). Added two date settings: Date detail (day, weekday, or weekday plus month) and Weekday language (follow your watch, or always English). V1.2.0 - Localised dates - the weekday and month now read in your watch's language. V1.1.2 - Weekly active minutes now read as weekly — the count beside the ring matches the weekly goal the ring fills toward. A steadier clock: the time digits are now fixed-width, so nothing shifts sideways as the minutes change. And two new touches in the details: the battery icon now fills to its true level in a colour that tracks it, and a Do Not Disturb moon joins the quiet status cues. The day name beside the date now appears in your device language, not just English. V1.1.1 - Smoother type, plus five new metrics. V1.1.0 - Five new data metrics. Drop Temperature, Elevation, Pressure, Respiration, or live Weather (real-feed temperature with a condition icon) into any of the three data slots - on top of the existing eleven. Temperature follows your Celsius / Fahrenheit setting. V1.0.1 +8 devices v1.0.0 - First release. A goals dashboard made for AMOLED: a big custom-drawn clock, three colour-pickable goal rings you can point at steps, active minutes, floors, calories or distance - with your own targets and a star when you complete one - a trend timeline you switch between Body Battery, Stress, heart rate and elevation, and three configurable data slots from eleven metrics. Quiet status cues for phone, notifications and alarm. No ticking seconds, for battery life. Distance and time formats follow your watch settings.
