Mono
Dark & Light Dress Watch Face
MONO is a dress watch face in black and white: a softly shaded dial in a slim case, slim polished batons with a double baton at 12, a thin Didone digital time with the date set between two hairlines, and long faceted leaf hands - quiet enough for a suit, while still showing everything your Garmin knows. Battery and heart rate sit either side of the hub, weather, steps and your weekly running distance in a calm row of three - each field can show any of 19 metrics, or nothing. Three versions in one purchase: MONO Graphite, MONO White and an all-black MONO Black made for AMOLED.

A dress watch with five quiet fields.

Three versions in one purchase: MONO Graphite, MONO White and an all-black MONO Black made for AMOLED. At night a minimal black screen shows only the time, date and battery.

Version 1.4.3
First released 7 Oct 2026. Updates are free and install by themselves.
- 1.4.34 Nov 2026
- Number size "Large" now makes every field's number clearly bigger (steps as 7.8k where 7,842 does not fit).
- 1.4.24 Nov 2026
- New setting "Number size": Large shows every field as its icon and a large value, without the small label - easier to read at a glance (Normal keeps the label).
- 1.4.01 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!
- New all-black version, MONO Black: a true black dial made for AMOLED screens (thanks for the feedback!). The grey dial is now called MONO Graphite; MONO White stays. Pick it under setting "Colourway".
- 1.3.029 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 date format (setting "Date line"): the date alone or with the month (FRI 02, FRI 02 OCT).
- 1.2.029 Oct 2026
- New setting "Date line": show the date, turn it off, or put your own text in its place - your children's names, a motto, anything up to 16 letters. Type the text in the Connect IQ app on your phone (setting "Own text").
- 1.1.128 Oct 2026
- 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.
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 flat black or white and the metal is shown in the nearest palette colour?
On solar/MIP watches (64 colours) the dial is flat black or white 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, Mono, 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.
