Let's be real for a second.

You bought a Garmin to see the data that matters—without digging through menus.

BLACK ERA 3 is built as a five-position hybrid dashboard:

choose the data shown in each position, select an accent color, and keep your key fitness, health, weather, battery, and daily information visible around its analog-digital layout.

⭐️ THE DASHBOARD

CONFIGURABLE DATA AREAS

Top Left, Top Center, Top Right, Middle Right & Middle Left — each position can independently show 1 of 23:

- Steps
- Calories
- Heart Rate
- SpO2
- Body Battery
- Stress
- Running VO2 Max
- Floors Climbed
- Floors Descended
- Respiration Rate
- Altitude
- Distance
- Weekly Active Minutes
- Recovery Time
- Battery
- Temperature
- UV Index
- Wind Speed
- Date
- Current Weather Icon
- Lunar Phase
- Battery Ring
- Step Goal Ring

The Step Goal Ring follows your current Garmin daily step goal.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION SHOWN

- Bottom center with Weekday or Weekday + Date
- Digital time with analog hour and minute hands
- Dual second hands in active mode
- Dedicated Always-On display layout

CUSTOMIZATION

- 8 accent colors: Red - Main, Orange, Yellow, Green, Turquoise, Blue, Pink, or Black
- Five independently configurable data positions
- On-device settings: configure the watch face directly on your Garmin
- Settings changes appear immediately when you return to the watch face

Distance, altitude, and temperature automatically follow your device unit preferences.

Wind speed is shown in meters per second, and recovery time is shown in hours.

Weather, health, profile, and activity values depend on Garmin data availability, supported sensors, and device capabilities. Weather choices use the most recently cached Garmin conditions.

⭐️ A TECHNICAL REALITY CHECK (Read this, please):

For AMOLED Owners:

In Always-On mode, BLACK ERA 3 switches to its dedicated low-power layout. The second hands are hidden, and the watch face updates at Garmin's low-power cadence.

That's not the dial being lazy. That's Garmin protecting your screen and your battery—every watch face plays by those rules.

Raise your wrist and the full instrument returns: configurable data, digital time, analog hands, and both second hands.

If you want a screen that ignores physics, buy a wall clock.

If you want a hybrid dashboard with serious data, choose BLACK ERA 3.

Have a great day.
