Luxury Executive Watch Face

I made Boardroom for wearing to work. It is a dress watch first: a slim polished metal bezel with a minute track, faceted applied indices and a dark sunburst dial that catches the light, with faceted dauphine hands over it.

01 The face

An executive dial with four data subdials.

I made Boardroom for wearing to work. It is a dress watch first: a slim polished metal bezel with a minute track, faceted applied indices and a dark sunburst dial that catches the light, with faceted dauphine hands over it. The data is still all there - a big digital time with seconds, the weekday, date and week at the top, five metal-rimmed gauges and the weather - seven fields, each one any of 19 metrics. Four finishes in one purchase: Boardroom (yellow gold), Chancery (emerald and gold), Counsel (steel blue) and Meridian (rose gold). Analog, digital or both, 12 or 24-hour time.

  1. 017 data fields, 19 metrics each
  2. 02Large numbers option for the gauges
  3. 034 colourways in one face
  4. 04Weekday, date, ISO week and weather
  5. 05Always-on display like the face
  6. 06Digital time over slim analog hands
  7. 07Units follow your watch settings (km/mi, °C/°F, 12/24 h)

What you can change

Accent colour for the gauge rings and the seconds hand

12 colours or the colourway's own (setting "Accent colour").

Change every metric

Each of the seven fields can show any of 19 metrics - battery, Body Battery, recovery time, heart rate, steps, weekly running distance, weather, calories, floors climbed, active minutes, distance today, stress, notifications, altitude, sunrise/sunset, respiration, pulse ox, battery days left, air pressure.

Remove any metric

Set a field to "Empty" and it is gone. Remove them all for a clean dial.

Analog or digital (setting "Time display")

"Analog + digital", "Analog only" or "Digital only".

Large numbers (setting "Number size")

Just the icon and a large value in every gauge, no labels - or the classic icon, label and value.

The date your way (setting "Date line")

Day, date and week (FRI 02 W40); day and date (FRI 02); day, date and month (FRI 02 OCT); or off - or the classic way: just the date (02) in a window at 3, nothing at the top. The frame round the date line can be switched off (setting "Date frame").

All 4 colourways included in one purchase

Boardroom, Chancery, Counsel, Meridian - switch any time (setting "Colourway").

Hands on top of the data, like a mechanical watch, or under it so every number stays readable (setting "Hands").

12 or 24-hour time as your watch is set; a leading zero as the watch shows it, always (09:41) or never (9:41) (setting "Leading zero"); an AM/PM marker (setting "AM/PM marker").

Always-on display like the face (its ring, hands and colours) or minimal, dim to bright; the full face on solar/MIP watches.

Change everything on the watch or in the Connect IQ app; every change shows at once.

04 Metrics

20 metrics for every field.

Each of the 6 fields shows any of them, or nothing at all. Swap them any time on the watch or in the app.

07 What's new

Version 1.6.0

First released 3 Oct 2026. Updates are free and install by themselves.

  1. 1.6.03 Nov 2026
    • New setting "Accent colour": the gauge rings and the seconds hand in Gold, Silver, Red, Orange, Lime, Green, Teal, Cyan, Blue, Violet, Magenta or Pink - the hands and indices keep their metal.
  2. 1.5.11 Nov 2026
    • Steps now count towards your own daily step goal from Garmin Connect (it was fixed at 10,000), so 7,500 steps of a 7,500 goal is 100%. Thanks for spotting it!
  3. 1.5.031 Oct 2026
    • A bigger date line: the day, date and week are larger and easier to read (thanks for the feedback!).
    • New choice in "Date line": "Date at 3 (classic)" - just the date in a window at 3 o'clock, nothing at the top.
    • Fixed: with the lower left or right gauge switched off, the 4 and 8 o'clock indices now have their full length.
  4. 1.4.130 Oct 2026
    • The setting "Gauge style" is now called "Number size" (Normal / Large) - easier to find.
  5. 1.4.029 Oct 2026
    • New always-on display that looks like the face: its ring, its hands and its own colours - and no digital time when you have switched it off. Brightness: dim, normal or bright (setting "Always-on brightness"); the old minimal screen is still there (setting "Always-on display").
    • New setting "Date frame": switch off the frame round the date line (thanks for the feedback!).
  6. 1.3.329 Oct 2026
    • A slimmer gold bezel: the dial, the gauges, the time and the hands are all larger and use more of the screen (thanks for the feedback!).
    • New setting "Gauge style": "Big numbers" shows just the icon and a large value in every gauge.
    • New setting "Date line": day, date and week; day and date; day, date and month; or off. The date window fits its text.
    • The date now shows correctly in every watch language: letters such as Č, Ř, Ł or Ş appeared as an empty box; they now show as their plain letter, and other alphabets use the English abbreviation.

FAQ

Something else? Ask us.

Why do I see "--" for body Battery, recovery time and weekly running distance?

Body Battery, recovery time and weekly running distance are shown only when the watch provides them; otherwise "--".

Weather is the current value synced from the phone?

Weather is the current value synced from the phone; the heart-rate range covers the last few hours.

The steps progress follows your own daily step goal from Garmin Connect?

The steps progress follows your own daily step goal from Garmin Connect.

On solar/MIP watches (64 colours) the dial is black and the metal is shown in the nearest palette colour?

On solar/MIP watches (64 colours) the dial is black and the metal is shown in the nearest palette colour.

How do I change a field or a colour?

On the watch: hold the middle-left (UP/MENU) button on the watch face, choose Watch face, then Customize. In the phone: open the Connect IQ app, go to My Device, Watch Faces, Boardroom, then Settings. Every change shows at once.

Is it a subscription?

No. You buy it once in the Connect IQ store and keep every future update.

Does it drain the battery?

The face is built to be as frugal as a Garmin face: it redraws once a minute and the always-on screen is dimmed and minimal on AMOLED watches.
