N13 Simple - Simple by Design. Powerful by Choice
· v1.0.9
About
N13 Simple is a clean, high-contrast Garmin watch face built for fast reading without sacrificing useful data. Five independently configurable rows place the information you care about in a precise vertical layout, while a fixed Battery row shows the current charge and estimated remaining life.
Designed for supported AMOLED and MIP watches, the layout scales across different round-screen sizes while preserving its spacing, hierarchy and distinctive minimalist style.
Five Configurable Rows
Choose the content of each row independently:
Time

Duplicate selections are allowed, so you can build the watch face around your own routine. Unavailable information is shown as -- instead of an incorrect value.
Clear, Purposeful Layout
N13 Simple uses five evenly spaced data rows, one vertical divider and no horizontal row lines. The result is structured, readable and free from unnecessary visual clutter.
A fixed Battery row sits below the configurable fields and combines battery percentage with estimated remaining time, such as 45% 2D 13H.
Twelve inward-pointing red triangles mark every five minutes, giving the design a distinctive instrument-style identity without using a traditional minute track.
Press and Hold for More
While the watch face is awake, press and hold a supported data row to open the corresponding Garmin glance.
Available destinations include Steps, Heart Rate, Calories, Body Battery, Stress, Weather, Altitude, Sunrise, Sunset, Battery and other supported Garmin information. Unsupported fields remain inactive and normal taps are not consumed.
Bluetooth Connection Status
A Bluetooth icon at the top shows the current phone connection:
Blue: connected
Grey: disconnected
The icon is a live status indicator only and does not change Bluetooth settings.
Color Mode and Settings
Personalise the display with:
Black, Mono + 9 color modes that give your device a special UI aspect
12-hour or 24-hour time with seconds
Kilometres or miles
Celsius or Fahrenheit
Wind speed in km/h or mph
Altitude in metres or feet
Total, Active or Auto calories
Battery warning at 10%, 15%, 20%, 25% or 30%
Five independently selected data rows
AMOLED and MIP Support
On supported AMOLED watches, Always-On Display is enabled by default and can be turned off. AOD uses a black low-power presentation, muted markers and protective position shifting while keeping the selected rows, Bluetooth status and battery estimate visible.
On supported MIP watches, low-power mode retains the selected full color mode and data layout. Seconds advance only when the platform provides an update.
Designed for Stable Readability
Custom Inter typography, tabular digits and consistent spacing help values remain aligned as they change. Labels stay compact, while primary data remains large and easy to read at a glance.
N13 Simple combines minimalist design with deep personalisation: five configurable rows, a fixed battery estimate, Bluetooth status, direct Garmin glance access and no wasted space.
