About
FREE TRIAL VERSION — one hour, everything unlocked.
Try Polaris in full for one hour: all 34 themes, every data field, every setting. When the hour is up, a code appears on the watch to unlock the face for good, and your settings are kept.
POLARIS — Four circular pods at the cardinal points, four gauges on the diagonals, and the time filling the centre. Everything you see can be set.
FOUR PODS, FOUR GAUGES
Four open circles sit at twelve, three, six and nine. Between them, four arcs carry a cursor: the icon of the measurement itself, riding the curve at the level it has reached, with the value written along the arc.
Eight slots, 33 measurements to put in them: steps, calories, active calories, distance, floors, intensity minutes, Body Battery, stress, battery, heart rate, Pulse Ox, respiration, altitude, pressure, humidity, UV, wind, precipitation, notifications, alarms, week number, second time zone, sunrise, sunset, date, weather. Any slot can be switched off.
LAST 7 DAYS ANALYSIS
Steps, calories, intensity minutes, floors and distance also come as rolling seven-day totals. A calendar week resets every Sunday; these cover the last seven days whatever the date, so they never empty out. Each has its own goal.
YOUR WEIGHT, AGAINST A GOAL
Your profile weight — from an Index scale or from Garmin Connect — against a target you set, in kilograms or pounds. The gauge fills as you approach it, from either side.
1,500+ CUSTOMISATION OPTIONS — every list in the settings, added up.
34 COLOUR THEMES
From Ember and Aurora to Voltage, Rave and Overdrive — warm, cold, vivid or plain. Each sets the hours, the minutes, the pods and the gauges at once.
OR BUILD YOUR OWN
Thirteen zones, each with its own colour. A colour pad opens on the watch — eight families across, eight shades down, all 64 visible at once.
Touch a colour and only that zone changes; the theme keeps running the rest. Pick a theme afterwards and it takes over again. The last choice wins, and one tap resets the lot.
THREE GAUGE STYLES
Solid, beads or dashes — set on each gauge independently. Every gauge runs a gradient by default, and any one of them can switch to a flat fill instead.
THE TIME, YOUR WAY
Flat, linear, or darker in the centre. Two colours of your choice, or the theme's. A seconds ring beside the digits, an AM/PM marker on the other side, both optional.
A REAL ALWAYS-ON MODE
Not just the time. Gauges, pods, icons and values all stay on. Everything is drawn in grey — but you can keep the time in its colour, so it still reads at a glance. The face shifts slightly every minute to protect the screen, well under a tenth of maximum brightness.
SET IT ANYWHERE
Everything is adjustable on the watch, and appears again in the Connect IQ panel on your phone: same options, same order, same names.
YOUR GOALS
Set your own for steps, calories, active calories, distance, floors and intensity minutes, or keep those from your Garmin profile. Kilometres or miles, Celsius or Fahrenheit, 12 or 24-hour — or follow the watch.
MORE TO COME
New features and additions are already planned for the next updates.

What's new
Update 1.1.0 :
Six new measurements, and a colour option for always-on.
LAST 7 DAYS — Steps, calories, intensity minutes, floors and distance now come as rolling seven-day totals. Unlike the calendar week, which resets every Sunday, these always cover the last seven days. Each has its own goal.
WEIGHT — Your profile weight, measured against a target you set, in kilograms or pounds. The gauge fills as you approach it.
ALWAYS-ON IN COLOUR — Keep the time in its colour while the rest of the face stays grey, so it still reads at a glance. Off by default.
