Dress watch to Data
· v1.41
About
Two faces in one: an elegant analog dress watch in always-on, a data-rich outdoor cockpit on the wrist-raise.
Dresswatch to Data is two watch faces in one — built for people who live outdoors but still want a watch that looks good off the trail.
Raise your wrist and you get a **data cockpit**.
A large clock sits between a live moon-phase disc and a colour-coded stress bar. A slim status bar shows a second time zone, alarm, a Bluetooth indicator, battery % and days remaining, and unread notifications. Below the clock: your training status, and three groups of data:
- **Body** — Recovery time, Body Battery and a **configurable field** you choose in the Garmin Connect app (Heart rate, Calories, Floors, Intensity minutes, Pulse Ox, Respiration, Solar input, or a **Rain forecast** showing when the next rain is expected); on touch watches, tap it to open its app
- **Activity** — Steps (with goal bar), Altitude and Weather (temperature, wind, condition + today's high/low)
- **Sky** — Sunrise, Sunset and barometric Pressure with a 3-hour storm-trend arrow
**Colour means something here.** Anything that carries a status is colour-coded green / orange / red at a glance — recovery time, body battery, battery level, stress, and notifications. Weather turns orange in rough conditions and red in severe ones. Pressure turns orange or red on a rapid 3-hour rise or fall (the meteorological "rapid"/"very rapid" thresholds), with an up/down arrow — an early heads-up that the weather is about to change.
Drop your wrist and it becomes a clean, **always-on analog dress watch**: minimal hour markers, slim tapered hands and a framed date window, drawn to keep AMOLED pixels (and battery) to a minimum.
**Prefer analog all the time?** Set the wrist-raise face to **Analog** and you get the dress watch in both modes — a fully analog watch, on wrist-raise and always-on alike.
**Make it yours** from the Garmin Connect app: all four colours — accent, highlight, clock and always-on — share one palette of 16 (white, silver, grey, green shades, mint, moss, cyan, blue, purple, pink, red, orange, yellow, gold), plus a **rainbow** option for the always-on dial. You can also set the always-on brightness, an optional maker's-mark on the analog face (off / text / blue triangle), a second-time-zone offset and label, and your time format, temperature and wind units.
### Notes (please read)
- Weather, body battery, stress, recovery, calendar and location come from your watch + the Garmin Connect app, so a recent phone sync gives the best data.
- Altitude and barometric pressure come from the watch's built-in barometer. Pressure shown is the local (station) pressure; the 3-hour trend and colour are what matter for weather warnings.
- Moon illumination and moonrise/moonset are computed on-watch (Garmin exposes no moon data to apps); moon times use your weather/GPS location.
- Sleep and Training Readiness are not available to third-party watch faces, so they are not shown.
## Permission justification (Everythings remains local)
- **ComplicationSubscriber** — reads the body-battery, stress, recovery-time, heart-rate, notification-count and calendar-event complications to display them on the face.
- **Positioning** — last-known location only (no active GPS), used as a fallback to compute moonrise/moonset when the weather observation location is unavailable.
- **SensorHistory** — reads the most recent barometric-pressure sample from the watch's pressure history to show the Pressure field and its 3-hour trend (the live value is not otherwise available to a watch face).
