Best watch faces for Garmin Forerunner

The modern Forerunners — 165, 265, 570, 965 and 970 — all use bright AMOLED screens, so running-focused, data-rich faces look and work best. Here are our picks, live.

Best for runners: Horizon

Horizon puts the day's weather on the bezel and three complications around a big clean time — handy for planning runs. Battery-smart always-on keeps it on through long sessions.

Data-rich: Domestique

Domestique wraps battery, steps, sunrise, altitude and heart rate around the dial — a genuine training face, not a skin.

Clean & free: Lumen

Lumen keeps it simple: a big central time and five swappable data slots, free and battery-light.

All five Forerunners here are AMOLED, so pick a battery-smart face and an always-on display barely costs you — see do watch faces drain battery?
