The clock, dial, date, and hands work normally, but the four corner complications are not displayed. Affected models: • fēnix 6X Pro / 6X Pro Sapphire / 6X Pro Solar • Forerunner 255 / 255 Music / 255S / 255S Music • vívoactive 5 All other supported watches from the Forerunner 265 and 165 generations onward display the complete watch face, including complications. MERIDIAN — A HAND-BUILT ANALOG WATCH FACE Meridian is a precision analog watch face inspired by classic wayfinding instruments. Every element is drawn from scratch for crisp rendering at any size: a dense graduated tick ruler, bold hour numerals, a signature orange strip ring, and a black inner dial carrying the date. Translucent orange capsule hands move above a thin red second hand that lands precisely on each tick. ACTIVITY FEELS The Activity Feels complication displays three 0–10 scores showing how weather conditions may affect exercise at Low, Moderate, and Vigorous intensity: Green · Amber · Red The scores consider temperature, humidity, UV exposure, altitude, and exercise intensity.

What's new

Release 8.x.x Dragon Fire themes Release 6.x.x Sharper weather, straight from Activity Feels app, which can be downloaded from here https://apps.garmin.com/apps/487412a5-8df4-44da-a3f7-eb179cda88d0 When you have the Activity Feels companion app installed, your Meridian watch face now shows the same weather it does — including live conditions from OpenWeatherMap if you've set that up over there. What's new: Weather that matches your app — temperature, feels-like, dew point, humidity, UV, and the condition icon all reflect your Activity Feels weather source. Activity Feels scores, direct from the app — the Low / Moderate / Vigorous difficulty numbers now come straight from Activity Feels, so the face and the app always agree. Seamless fallback — no companion app? Weather turned off? Data gone stale? The face quietly switches back to your watch's built-in weather, so your face always stays complete and accurate. Nothing to configure on the watch face itself — if Activity Feels is set up, Meridian just picks it up automatically. Release 3.1.x New granular complication settings Release 2.7.x Always-On Display Meridian now stays readable around the clock without burning your battery or your screen. When you lower your wrist, the face dims to a clean, minimal layout — just the hour numerals, the 12 hour marks, and the hour & minute hands — drawn sparsely over black.
