Vector
Sport Data Digital Watch Face
Vector puts a very large stacked time in the middle of your watch: white hours over cyan minutes, with the date and a weekday strip above it. Three fields down each side - steps, altitude and heart rate, the weather, battery and calories by default - each with its own coloured arc in the bezel that fills with its progress, and a gauge at the bottom with its rating.

Seven fields with live bezel arcs.
Vector puts a very large stacked time in the middle of your watch: white hours over cyan minutes, with the date and a weekday strip above it. Three fields down each side - steps, altitude and heart rate, the weather, battery and calories by default - each with its own coloured arc in the bezel that fills with its progress, and a gauge at the bottom with its rating. Sunrise and sunset sit on the top arc. Prefer a compass? The Redline style has N, E, S and W round the bezel and red arcs. Every field can show any of 21 metrics, or nothing.

Version 1.0.3
First released 4 Nov 2026. Updates are free and install by themselves.
- 1.0.45 Nov 2026
- The seconds ring ticks in 60 even steps over the visible ring and is full at the end of the minute, then starts again (no more uneven pieces, and no hidden steps behind the sunrise and sunset).
- Sunrise and sunset now also show when the weather has no location: the watch's own sunrise and sunset come first, then the weather's location, then the watch's last position.
- 1.0.32 Nov 2026
- Colour Studio: two themes that looked too alike are now clearly different - Lavender is now Yellow, and Stealth is now Stealth Red (grey time with a red accent).
- 1.0.21 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!
- 1.0.131 Oct 2026
- New: Colour Studio - 16 colour themes, or your own colour for the time, accent, values, labels and ring.
- New setting "Outer ring": the ring counts the seconds, shows your battery level, or stays dark.
- The outer ring in one colour; the small field bars sit in the middle of their fields and every metric fills its bar; the sunrise and sunset times are larger, next to their suns.
- 1.0.030 Oct 2026
- First release: Sport Data Digital Watch Face.
Why do I see "--" for body Battery, recovery time, stress, VO2 max and weekly running distance?
Body Battery, recovery time, stress, VO2 max 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; today's low and high come with it.
Charts show the last 4 hours the watch has stored?
Charts show the last 4 hours the watch has stored; the week's bars start on Monday.
On solar/MIP watches (64 colours) the face uses the nearest palette colours?
On solar/MIP watches (64 colours) the face uses the nearest palette colours.
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, Vector, 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.
