Enjoying Pulse Viz? Support its development. If Pulse Viz has earned a permanent spot on your wrist, check out Pulse Viz Pro — it adds a two-goal activity ring, a full training & health complication suite (VO2max, recovery time, resting HR and more — 17 metrics), more animations, and a burn-in-safe always-on display. Buying Pro is the best way to support continued development of both versions: https://apps.garmin.com/apps/406b198c-a3b7-4bb2-9dc1-4f45da381683

NEW: Activity Ring
A steps arc along the screen edge that fills toward your daily goal, with a live value/goal label and a smooth wake-up animation. It turns green the moment you hit your goal — one glance tells you where your day stands.
Live Heart Rate Sparkline
A rolling HR history graph sits front and center, color-coded by heart rate zone (auto from your profile, or set your own max HR). See your trends at a glance — resting, active, or pushing limits.
Weekly Activity Bar Chart
Track your 7-day progress for steps, distance, calories, active minutes, or floors climbed. A smart goal line shows where you stand, and today's bar is highlighted so you know exactly how your day compares.
3 Seconds Visualizations
Choose from Dot Ring (60 dots filling around the bezel), Radar Sweep (a glowing rotating hand with layered glow), or Diagonal Stripes (rotating bands of color). Each brings a unique personality to your watch.
8 Color Themes + Custom Color
Purple, Cyan, Amber, Green, Rose, Blue, Red — or pick any hex color and Pulse Viz auto-generates a full palette. Three intensity levels (Normal, Pale, Intense) and two font sizes let you fine-tune the vibe.
3 Configurable Data Fields
Mix and match 10 metrics across three slots: steps, distance, calories, active minutes, floors, live heart rate, Body Battery, stress, watch battery, and notifications. Tap a field to jump to its full-screen view.
Real-Time Weather
Current temperature and condition icon with day/night awareness and support for 15+ weather conditions. Tap it to open the Weather app.
Always-On Display
A minimal, burn-in-safe AOD mode: time plus a dimmed heart-rate sparkline, designed for AMOLED battery life.
8 Languages
English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Polish, Ukrainian, Indonesian.
44 Devices Supported
Works on Venu 2/2S/2+/3/3S/X1, Forerunner 70/165/170/265/570/965/970, Epix 2, Fenix E/8, MARQ 2, Instinct 3 AMOLED & Crossover, Vivoactive 5/6, Descent, Approach S50/S70, D2 — and more.
