Quipu - Data Watch Face
· v1.4.0
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 goal arcs and five stat slots you pin yourself. Everything is measured, aligned and legible - engineered like a gauge, not decorated like a widget.
[MAKE IT YOURS]
Every part of the dial is yours to set: what each slot shows, what each arc tracks and its goal, the colours, the size of the numbers, the text under the clock. Set it once and it stays yours.
[ALL 32 STATS]
Pin any of these to any of the five slots:
1. Activity: steps, distance, calories, floors climbed, floors descended, intensity minutes, weekly run distance, weekly ride distance, weekly and vigorous intensity minutes
2. Health: heart rate, resting heart rate, stress, Body Battery, SpO2, VO2 Max, respiration rate, recovery time
3. Weather: temperature with a live condition icon, wind, humidity, UV index, sunrise, sunset, next sun event
4. Watch and world: battery in percent or in days, notifications, altitude, pressure, ISO week number, UTC time
Plus Bluetooth and Do Not Disturb indicators beside the clock, and live seconds.
[GOAL ARCS]
Pick the metric each arc tracks - steps, calories, intensity minutes, floors, distance, Body Battery or battery - and set a separate goal per arc, or leave 0 and Quipu follows your Garmin Connect goal. Prefer a clean dial? Switch the arcs off and the layout expands to fill the screen.
[COLOUR]
17 accents with a gradient finish along the arcs, from calm pastels to strong reds - or type your own hex code. Colour every element separately: time, arcs, stat values, stat labels, custom text, details. Light background available on MIP displays.
[STYLES AND SIZES]
Three stat styles: icon + label, icon only, label only. Three sizes, up to the new Largest. Values auto-fit, so nothing ever clips or overlaps, in any language. You can even hide the divider lines for a fully clean dial.
[DATE AND TEXT]
A three-day calendar strip, or a big date in words or numbers. Replace the date row with your own text: a name, a mantra, a race day.
[ALWAYS-ON DISPLAY]
Three intensity levels, from just the time up to the full dimmed dial - the same layout as the awake face, so nothing jumps when you raise your wrist. Burn-in safe, battery friendly.
[WEATHER SOURCE]
Garmin weather by default, or MET Norway (yr.no) with hourly updates.
[SETTINGS AND LANGUAGES]
Customise everything in the Garmin Connect IQ app: Device → Watch Faces → Quipu → Settings. The face is fully translated into 24 languages.
[PAYMENT]
Secure Garmin payment: you pay by card right in the Garmin app. No codes, no third-party sites.
