ORBIT

Time as proportion, not as digits. Two nested cycles fill clockwise from the top of the dial. The outer amber ring is the minute; the inner ring is the hour, marked by a white arrowhead that rides the arc and points the way it grows. You read how far through each cycle you are, the way you read a half-full glass, without counting anything. At the centre, a stack of bars lit from the floor upward shows a reading of your choice as a vessel filling and emptying across the day. YOU CHOOSE WHAT IT SHOWS Three readings sit on the cardinal cross around the core, and the core itself is a fourth. Each takes any of sixteen: heart rate, steps, stairs climbed, Body Battery, stress, resting heart rate, battery percent, battery days, calories, distance, active minutes, notifications, altitude, sleep score, the date, or nothing at all. The date and weekday keep the top of the cross. It is not a reading and does not move. A quiet face by design. There is no sweeping second hand, because a second hand is the single biggest drain a watch face can put on a fenix, and this one is built to disappear into a fortnight of battery life rather than compete with it. SIX THEMES Signature, Dark, Navy, Emerald, Classical and White. TWO KINDS OF SCREEN On a reflective screen, brightness is literally how much daylight the pixel returns, so every colour here is chosen to keep the face readable in direct sun rather than only on a backlit display. On a bright always-on screen the face switches to a separate low-power view between glances. Not a dimmed copy of the dial - a different drawing, with both cycles as hairlines, four markers and the core as an outline. It keeps the panel dark and shifts slightly minute to minute, so nothing is held in one place. SETTINGS, ON THE WATCH Hold the menu button on the watch face. Theme and all four readings are there, and the dial changes as you choose. You can also use your phone if you prefer: Garmin Connect app, then your device, Connect IQ Apps, Watch Faces, ORBIT, settings. Both routes write the same setting.

Now runs on bright always-on screens. Between glances the face switches to a separate low-power view that keeps the panel dark: both cycles as hairlines, four markers and the core as an outline. Adds Forerunner 970, Forerunner 965 and fenix 8 AMOLED 47mm, and the launcher icon is drawn at their size rather than scaled up to it. Corrects the previous listing: watch face settings can be reached from the watch itself, by holding the menu button. You do not need your phone.
