Version 1.2.5
First released 27 Oct 2026. Updates are free and install by themselves.
- 1.2.55 Nov 2026
- Three new engraved maps to choose from (setting "Colourway"): Coast, Topo and Pines - five dials in one face.
- 1.2.44 Nov 2026
- Number size "Large" now makes every field's number clearly bigger (steps as 7.8k where 7,842 does not fit).
- 1.2.34 Nov 2026
- New setting "Number size": Large shows the three values bigger (steps without the comma) - easier to read at a glance.
- 1.2.22 Nov 2026
- The engraved dial artwork is drawn in full detail again on every watch.
- 1.2.11 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!
- 1.2.029 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 formats (setting "Date line"): the date with the week, without it or with the month (FRI 02 W40, FRI 02, FRI 02 OCT).
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 engraving is shown in black, white and two greys?
On solar/MIP watches (64 colours) the engraving is shown in black, white and two greys.
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, Timberline, 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.
