Capybara Buddy - Pixel Pet Watch Face

Meet your new training buddy — the world's most relaxed animal, now keeping time on your wrist. ### YOUR STEPS GROW ITS GARDEN A little plant grows a stage for every quarter of your daily step goal. Hit 100% and it bears a red berry — then your capybara munches it happily (about half an hour) and a fresh seedling starts growing from your next steps. Big days harvest several berries. The garden resets each day and survives a reboot. ### IT LIVES WITH YOU Walks and blinks while you're active, sleeps when you do (night or Do Not Disturb), celebrates your step goal wearing a yuzu orange on its head, and goes heavy-lidded and tired with a bead of sweat for an hour after you log an active minute. ### LEVEL UP BY LIVING 1 XP per step, 5 XP per active minute, with a level bar under the capy. Each level costs more than the last. ### EIGHT CAPYBARAS, SEVEN THEMES Pick your capy's coat — Classic, Brown, Sand, Grey, Charcoal, Cream, Golden, or Match theme, which tints the fur to your accent. Seven UI colors: Radium Green, Amber, Ice Blue, Pink, Crimson, Arctic White, Teal. ### DATA YOU CHOOSE Three data tabs, twelve slots, twenty metrics per slot: Steps, Goal %, Calories, Distance, Floors, Active minutes, Heart rate, Body Battery, Stress, Battery, Battery days, Notifications, Alarms, Level, Temperature, Feels like, Temperature high/low, Precipitation chance, Humidity, Wind — or Off, which re-centers the rest. Show 1, 2, 3 or 4 fields per tab: one to three sit in a centred row, four splits into two stacked pairs, one on each side. The clock follows the watch's own 12/24-hour setting unless you override it on the face. Switch tabs by tapping the screen (touch watches), let them auto-cycle every 3/5/8 seconds (no touch needed), pin one tab, or hide the tabs entirely. Three layouts: Full, Minimal (just time, capy and plant), or No data tabs. ### BUILT-IN NATIVE EDITOR SUPPORT On fēnix 8 era watches and newer — including Forerunner 570/970, Venu 4 and vívoactive 6 — the system "Edit watch face" flow drives the face directly: choose the capybara coat from the style list, pick an accent color, set the data color, and drop any system complication into tab 1's four slots, with a live preview as you edit. ### EVERYTHING IS ON-WATCH No phone needed: the Connect IQ menu on the watch covers every option, including all twelve slots, plus a 4-slide illustrated "How it works" guide drawn with the face's own pixel art. ### AMOLED ALWAYS-ON A minimal always-on scene — dim time plus the sleeping capy as outline-only line art — lighting under 2.2% of the display and shifting position every minute for burn-in protection. Can be turned off. MIP watches show the full face in low power. No account, no phone connection, no internet access, no location tracking. ### REQUIREMENTS AND LIMITATIONS - Body Battery and Stress fields need a watch that measures them; on watches that don't, those fields read "--" rather than a fake number. Same for Floors, Active minutes, Alarms and Battery days. - The native watch face editor (styles / accent color / data color / complications) needs Connect IQ 5.1 or newer. Older watches get the same options through the Connect IQ settings menu and the phone app instead. - Tap-to-switch tabs needs a touch screen. Non-touch watches should use the Auto-cycle tab mode (Garmin watch faces cannot receive button presses). - Phone-app settings are only available for store installs; sideloaded builds use the on-watch settings menu. ### PERMISSIONS - Sensor History — reads the newest Body Battery and Stress samples for those two data fields. Nothing is stored or transmitted. - Complication Subscriber — required to read the complications the user assigns in the native watch face editor. Complications only deliver data to subscribers, so without it those slots would render as 0. No Communications, Positioning, Background, Sensor, ANT or UserProfile permission is requested. The face makes no network requests.

### WEATHER ON YOUR WRIST Six new data fields: temperature, feels like, today's high/low, precipitation chance, humidity and wind. Assign them to any slot. No account and no extra permission — they use the forecast your phone already syncs. ### ONE TO FOUR FIELDS PER TAB Choose how many data fields each tab shows. One, two or three sit in a centred row; four splits into two stacked pairs, one on each side. ### TIRED AND SWEATY Log an active minute and the capy goes heavy-lidded with a bead of sweat for the next hour, then perks back up. ### 12/24-HOUR OVERRIDE The clock follows your watch's own setting by default, or you can pin it to 12-hour or 24-hour on the face. ### FIXED Changing the theme colour or capybara coat from the Connect IQ phone app or the on-watch settings menu had no effect on watches with the built-in watch face editor (Forerunner 570/970, fenix 8 era, Venu 4, vivoactive 6). The editor, the phone app and the on-watch menu now stay in sync.
