ABOUT
Hey!
This is my first watch face. I made it because I wanted pixel art for myself that I enjoy. I'm from Sweden, currently working on Mojang (the creator of Minecraft) and I train alot!

Your feedback is genuinely welcome, and if you have any requests, a data field is missing, if you would like another theme, or if your watch is not on the list, please let me know!

I read everything, and there are many more faces on the way.

DATA POINTS
- Time, 24- or 12-hour, following your watch setting
- Weekday and date
- Steps for the day
- Heart rate, current
- Battery level, as a pixel gauge and a percentage
- Weather condition, shown as an icon and in words
- Current temperature
- The day's high and low temperature
- Phone connection status

COLOUR THEMES
- Classic: white and green on black
- Game Boy: the four-tone olive palette
- Terminal: amber monochrome
- CGA: cyan and magenta from early PC graphics
Each theme carries its own sneaker icon for the step count.

WEATHER ICONS
Eight hand-drawn pixel conditions: clear, partly cloudy, cloudy, rain, snow, thunder, fog and windy.

DETAILS
- The heartbeat animation is paced by your real heart rate. Below 60 bpm the heart beats exactly as many times per minute as your pulse does. It can be switched off.
- Temperature follows your watch's own unit, Celsius or Fahrenheit.
- Weekday, month and weather condition appear in Swedish on a Swedish watch and in English otherwise.
- The battery figure turns red below 20 percent.
- A crossed-out rune appears when the phone connection drops.
- On AMOLED watches the always-on display shows a dimmed clock that shifts position every minute to protect the screen. On memory-in-pixel watches the full face stays visible in low power.

SETTINGS
- Colour theme
- Heartbeat animation on or off

Supported on 98 Garmin watches, round and rectangular, from 240 pixels upward. The layout is redrawn for each screen size rather than scaled, so the type stays sharp on small screens.
