Photo Classic Free
Large classic numerals and outlined hands over your own picture. Free, 47 round AMOLED models.
Design your own Garmin watch face
Two ways to make a Garmin face yours. Put your own photo behind a finished dial, or start from a finished design and change what matters to you — which numbers show up where, the accent colour, how big the time reads. Both come from the Connect IQ Store and are set up from the phone in your pocket: no computer, no sideloading.
Your photo on the watch
Pick a photo template, install it, scan the QR code the watch shows and frame your picture on the phone. More photo templates are on the way, some of them paid.
Photo Heritage
Your photo in a circle inside a classic chapter ring, seven frame colours, gold-edged ivory hands. €3.49.
Your Style Face
Big digital time over your photo: 4 font styles, 15 numeral systems, 7 digit colours and photo tints. €3.49.
More photo templates on the way — digital and data layouts, some of them paid.
Build from a code
Install a base template, reshape it in the browser, and send your layout to the watch as one short code.
1. Install the base
Pick a template below and install it from the Connect IQ Store, the way you install anything else.
2. Design it here
Change fields, colours and sizes in the browser with a live preview of the real layout.
3. Paste one code
The builder gives you sixteen characters. Paste them into Garmin Connect and the watch takes the lot.
Custom1 — instrument
A minute bezel with move-bar accents, curved data labels around the dial and a large split time. Nine configurable positions, 32 AMOLED models.
More templates on the way — an analogue chassis and a stripped-back digital one.
Photo or code?
A photo template keeps its layout and takes your picture as the background: family, a place, a pet. A code template keeps its built-in artwork and lets you rearrange the layout — fields, colours, the size of the time.
Neither needs sideloading. The face comes from the Connect IQ Store like any other app; only your photo or your settings travel to the watch, through Garmin Connect on your phone. See the FAQ if you are weighing it up.
