Made by two people, one glance at a time
WatchFaceKit is a small studio making high-craft watch faces for Garmin. The idea is simple: the screen you glance at hundreds of times a day should be genuinely good — clear, useful, and easy on your battery.
Who we are
We're not a company with an office and a roadmap wall — just two people who like building small, careful things together, and WatchFaceKit is one of them. Ivan Lukichev designs and develops the faces; Nadzeya Yashchuk runs the studio and publishing. We handle everything ourselves — design, code, testing and support.
We work remotely, and our work is officially published as a small sole proprietorship registered in Austria; the formal details live in the Impressum. Because it's just the two of us, everything stays personal: we choose what to build, answer our own email, and shape each release around what wearers actually ask for.
WatchFaceKit went live in 2026 and we're only getting started — new faces, builder features and guides land all the time. Some of our faces are free and some are paid — and a paid face is always a one-time purchase, never a subscription.
What WatchFaceKit makes
Watch faces for Garmin, built with the Connect IQ SDK and tested across device families from fēnix and epix to Venu, Forerunner and vívoactive. Every one follows the same promises:
- Real data, glanceable: heart rate, battery, steps, sunrise — laid out so your eye finds them instantly.
- Battery-smart by design: dimmed always-on layouts keep lit pixels low, so an always-on face barely costs you.
- Honest numbers: if a sensor has no reading, the face shows “--” — never an invented value.
- Try before you install: every face runs live in your browser — the seconds tick, the data moves.
- Free or bought once: many faces are on the Connect IQ Store at no cost; the paid ones are a few dollars, once — never a subscription.
Free tools on the web
You don't need to install anything to start. The Custom builder lets you design your own face right in the browser and carry it to your watch with a short code. The catalog shows every face running live, and our guides cover the best faces for each Garmin model, plus how to install them.
Our other apps
Beyond faces, we make small Connect IQ apps with the same temperament: Battery Fit, a 1% battery data field; Morse Codes, for learning Morse on your wrist; and Watch Self-Test, a sensor diagnostic. And if your Garmin comes along outdoors, our Vert Altimeter and MushTrail phone apps are built for the trail.
