About

Five hundred years ago, the Inca ran an empire without paper. They recorded everything - harvests, census, tribute - in knots tied on cords they carried with them. It was called a quipu: data, worn on the body. This face is its modern descendant. Quipu is a data-dense instrument panel for people who like to see everything at a glance: a big, crisp clock surrounded by a calendar strip, two progress arcs and five stat slots you pin yourself. Everything is measured, aligned and legible - engineered like a gauge, not decorated like a widget. [DATA] Five slots, your choice of 30 stats: steps, heart rate, calories, distance, floors, stress, Body Battery, SpO2, VO2 Max, respiration, recovery time, resting heart rate, weekly run and ride distance, sunrise, sunset, weather, wind, humidity, altitude, pressure, notifications, week number and more. The top arc tracks your step goal, the bottom arc your battery. A three-day calendar strip keeps yesterday and tomorrow in view. [DISPLAY STYLES] Three stat styles: icon + label, icon only, or label only - the reduced styles grow the numbers so they are even easier to read at a glance. Two stat sizes. Values auto-fit, so nothing ever clips or overlaps, in any language. [COLOR] Sixteen accents with a gradient finish along the arcs, from calm pastels to strong reds - or type any colour of your own as a hex code. Keep the colour on the arcs only, or let it touch the details too. On newer watches you can switch the accent and the stat style right on the watch. [MAKE IT YOURS] Replace the date with your own text - a name, a mantra, a race day. Battery as percent or as days remaining. 12h or 24h time with an optional leading zero, the ISO week number always beside the clock, live seconds. [AOD] A true always-on display with three intensity levels: from just the time and your text, up to the full dimmed face. Burn-in safe, battery friendly. [SETTINGS] Customise everything in the Garmin Connect IQ app: Device → Watch Faces → Quipu → Settings. Fully translated into 24 languages. [PAYMENT] Secure Garmin payment - you pay by card right in the Garmin app. No codes, no third-party sites. [RATE] We want you to have exactly the face you want.
