Turbo Dash

Car Dashboard Tachometer Watch Face

Turbo Dash turns your watch into a real car instrument: a grey dial in a gunmetal bezel, bold numerals with red ticks up to 3 and a matte red zone from 3 to 4, the Turbo script, two screws beside a big black hub, a red needle and a gunmetal hand. Under the hub sits the instrument's TFT display: three striped bar gauges with their values, the digital time with a dotted progress line, and two small fields beside it. The bars take the metrics that fill up (battery, Body Battery, steps, recovery, calories, floors, active minutes and more), the fields beside the time the others (heart rate, weather, altitude and more).

01 The face

A rev counter dashboard with three bar gauges.

Turbo Dash turns your watch into a real car instrument: a grey dial in a gunmetal bezel, bold numerals with red ticks up to 3 and a matte red zone from 3 to 4, the Turbo script, two screws beside a big black hub, a red needle and a gunmetal hand. Under the hub sits the instrument's TFT display: three striped bar gauges with their values, the digital time with a dotted progress line, and two small fields beside it. The bars take the metrics that fill up (battery, Body Battery, steps, recovery, calories, floors, active minutes and more), the fields beside the time the others (heart rate, weather, altitude and more). Four colours in one purchase: Turbo Red, Ice Blue, Terminal Green and Mono Orange. At night a minimal black screen shows only the time, date and battery.

03 Make it yours

What you can change

Choose what each bar shows

Battery, Body Battery, recovery time, steps, weekly running distance, calories, floors climbed, active minutes, stress, pulse ox or battery days left - every one fills its bar from empty to full.

Choose the two fields beside the time

Heart rate, weather, distance today, notifications, altitude, sunrise/sunset, respiration or air pressure.

Remove any metric

Set a field to "Empty" and it is gone.

Analog or digital, your choice (setting "Time display")

"Analog + digital", "Analog only" (the display shows the date instead of the time) or "Digital only" (the hands are removed).

All 4 colours included in one purchase

Turbo Red, Ice Blue, Terminal Green, Mono Orange - switch any time (setting "Colourway").

Hands on top or under the data, your choice (setting "Hands"): "Hands on top" sweeps the hands over every number, like a mechanical watch; "Data on top" keeps every number readable.

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").

The date your way (setting "Date line")

Shown, or off for a cleaner face.

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 5 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 1.3.3

First released 7 Oct 2026. Updates are free and install by themselves.

  1. 1.3.11 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!
  2. 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").
  3. 1.2.029 Oct 2026
    • New setting "Date line": show the date, or turn it off - change it on the watch or in the Connect IQ app.
  4. 1.1.228 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.
  5. 1.1.126 Oct 2026
    • Much bigger numbers on the dashboard display: battery, steps, Body Battery, heart rate and temperature are easy to read at a glance on every watch (thanks for the feedback!).
  6. 1.1.025 Oct 2026
    • New setting "Hands": the hands on top of the data, or the data on top of the hands - your choice (thanks for the feedback!).
    • New setting "Leading zero": the hour as the watch shows it, always with a zero (09:41) or never (9:41).
    • New setting "AM/PM marker": shows AM or PM next to a 12-hour time.
    • Bigger numbers and labels on the smaller watches (Forerunner 165, 170, 70 and 265S, vívoactive 5 and 6, Venu 3S and more): easier to read at a glance.
08 Questions

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 flat black and the colours are shown in the nearest palette colour?

On solar/MIP watches (64 colours) the dial is flat black and the colours are 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, Turbo Dash, 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.
