Valueless watch face
· v1.1.0
About
Let's be real, you use your phone for the time.
Giving you absolutely nothing, this useless watch face
might just be the perfect void for your wrist
────────────────────────────────────
CONFIGURABLE OPTIONS
(Garmin Connect app → Devices → your watch → ConnectIQ →
Watch Faces → Valueless watch face → Settings)
▸ Quote Language
- Auto: match your watch's system language
- English: force English quotes
- Korean: force Korean quotes
Both languages ship with the full 1,440-minute dataset.
▸ Show Date
Toggle the small date strip at the top of the screen on or off.
▸ Highlight Color (8 choices)
The time expression inside each quote is drawn in this color so
it stands out from the body text.
- Amber Gold (default — warm, paper-like)
- Crimson
- Sage Green
- Sapphire
- Dusty Rose
- Sepia
- Emerald
- Ivory (subtle, very low contrast — for the maximally austere)
▸ Bottom Complication (rotates on wrist-raise)
A small one-line indicator at the bottom of the screen. You can
enable as many of the following as you want — they rotate one at
a time, advancing each time you raise your wrist. Enable just one
for a stable readout; enable several for variety.
- Battery (default ON)
- Heart Rate
- Active Calories
- Distance Walked
- Floors Climbed
- Resting Heart Rate
- Steps
If a complication has no current reading (e.g. Heart Rate when
the sensor hasn't yet sampled), the rotation skips it on that
wrist-raise.

4. Wear your watch.
5. Resume looking at your phone for the actual time.

PRIVACY & PERMISSIONS
This watch face requests one permission: UserProfile. It is used
solely to read your resting heart rate value, and only when you
have explicitly enabled the "Resting Heart Rate" complication
in settings. The value is displayed on the watch face and nothing
more — it is never transmitted, never stored, and never shared.
No data leaves your watch.

FEEDBACK
If something looks broken — missing text, wrong language, layout
cut off on your particular device — send a screenshot to
[email protected] and we will look at it.

SUPPORT (entirely optional)
If this useless thing somehow earned a place on your wrist,
a coffee says thanks:

The watch face stays free either way. Tips just buy time for
future updates — new languages, quote rotations, alternate
aesthetics, things that probably also aren't necessary.
Pay nothing for nothing, or pay something. Up to you.
What's new
Right-sized fonts for smaller screens:
360px and 390px devices (fr265s, fr165,
venu2s, venu3s, etc.) now use a second
font tier that doesn't feel oversized.
fr265 (416) and fr965 (454) keep their
original sizes.
· Baseline alignment between time and body:
the highlighted time glyphs now share the
same baseline as the surrounding italic
body text. They used to sit 7-10 px below;
same emphasis, cleaner lines.
