NDR-One MIP is the full NDR-One Pro face, rebuilt (not ported) for 64-color memory-in-pixel transflective screens: the Fenix 7 generation, and any owner who wants the whole instrument dashboard readable in direct sun. It stays on and live all day, no wrist-raise. Rearrange every slot on the watch, no phone required.

MAKE IT YOURS, ON THE WATCH

Hold MENU, where your watch has one, to open Customize and rebuild the face in seconds: swap the corner rings, pick the center chart, set the top and bottom status bands, change the header and footer chips, switch themes, flip on Light Mode. No phone, no sync delay. Connect IQ Mobile carries most of the same settings, one slot per dropdown, with Light Mode on the watch only.

TAP THROUGH TO THE DETAIL

Long-press any metric and NDR-One MIP opens its native Garmin glance: the Body Battery ring for its drain history, the VO2 Max or Recovery readout for the training detail. (On touch models that enable watch-face touch.)

BUILT FOR MEMORY-IN-PIXEL

Memory-in-pixel panels render differently from AMOLED, so this is a rebuild, not a port. The rings are flat solid arcs snapped to the 64-color grid, so there is no gradient banding. The numerals are native and drawn bolder and larger for a transflective screen, and every theme is re-tuned to the MIP palette. A MIP-only Light Mode flips the face to a white background with dark ink for maximum contrast in bright daylight.

WHAT YOU CAN PUT ON IT

Nine ring options for the four corner slots: Steps, Floors, Intensity Minutes, Calories, Body Battery, VO2 Max, Stress, Pulse Ox, Weight, and Sleep Score.

The center chart, one of: Heart Rate, Stress, Body Battery, Elevation, Steps per hour, or off.

Two side readouts by the clock: Sunrise and Sunset, Phone Notifications, Daily Distance, Respiration, Altitude, Wind, Weekly Run, or Weekly Bike.

Status bands, top and bottom center: a 3-day calendar, Training Status, Recovery Time, Daily Distance, Weekly Run, Weekly Bike, or the NDR mark.

Header and footer bars: the weather block, a Hi/Lo chip, the battery, a UV Index, Feels Like or Humidity chip. Battery and weather can swap places, and either can be off.

ALWAYS LIVE

A memory-in-pixel screen never sleeps, so there is no separate always-on design and nothing to dim. The full instrument face stays on and readable all day, in shade or direct sun. Optional ticking seconds are off by default to protect battery.

SIX COLOR THEMES

- Atlas Prism: multi-color, every metric in its own hue (default)
- Signal Amber: warm amber on the panel
- Glacier Cyan: cool blue
- Crimson Frost: deep red, night-vision friendly
- Monolith White: pure grey, every accent stripped out
- Forest Green: an earthy green

Each theme is re-tuned to the 64-color MIP grid, plus the MIP-only Light Mode above.

BUILT LIKE AN APP, NOT A WALLPAPER

Under the layout is a real application, not a background with a few widgets dropped on top. Every reading runs live, never a static number: heart rate flags when it goes stale, the battery turns to its warning colour as it runs down, a ring lights the moment its goal is met, and a widget whose sensor your watch lacks hides itself instead of showing "--". Your layout, theme and settings are saved on the watch and survive reboots and updates.

NATIVE GARMIN DATA, PRIVATE BY DEFAULT

Every metric comes from Garmin's own services (Activity Monitor, UserProfile, SensorHistory, Complications, Weather). No third-party accounts, no API keys, no tracking, and no network calls of its own. It asks only for the permissions it uses. One-time purchase, no subscription.
