The Fairies of Windsor Castle
· v1.0.2
About
The Fairies of Windsor Castle is a magical, fully animated watch face for your Garmin AMOLED watch.
A small world of light, flowers and fairies — directly on your wrist.
In the southern reaches of Windsor Castle’s park, where a small woodland surrounds a hidden waterfall, the Fairies of Windsor are said to have lived for centuries.
Legend says that only those with a pure heart can see them. At dusk, they emerge from between the trees, make flowers bloom, summon tiny lights and dance where the mist drifts above the water.
It is said that the Queen first discovered this place as a child. One day, her mother brought her to the fairies so they could comfort her during a difficult time. But the fairies gave her more than kind words. Just as they had done for her mother, they promised her a long and happy life.
Many years later, the story says, the Queen still visited the fairies. On quiet evenings, they sat together beside the waterfall, shared stories and looked up at the stars. Since then, the fairies have watched over Windsor and revealed themselves for a few precious moments to anyone who still believes in their world.
When you raise your wrist, this hidden fairy world comes to life across the entire display. Different fairies appear in small cinematic scenes, conjuring flowers and lights, moving through the woodland or pausing for a quiet moment.
The animations change, giving the watch face a slightly different appearance each time without becoming restless or overloaded.
You can switch directly on the watch between two display modes:
Digital — large, clear time display with date
Analog — classic watch hands over the fairy scene
Simply press and hold the display to switch between the two modes.
The time, date and watch hands are shown with a subtle shadow, keeping them clearly readable even over brighter parts of the animation.
When your arm is lowered, the watch face uses Garmin’s low-power or always-on mode. The detailed animation is hidden, while the time and date remain visible in a strongly reduced layout.
This helps protect both the battery and the AMOLED display. As soon as you raise your wrist again, the fairies return.
The Fairies of Windsor Castle was developed specifically for round Garmin AMOLED displays. The animations are rendered directly on the watch at full resolution and use the entire watch-face area.

Perhaps the Fairies of Windsor are only an old legend. Or perhaps they are still waiting by the waterfall for someone with a pure heart.
