Manga Focus turns your wrist into a page of manga. A bold, hand-painted brush numeral tells the time at a glance over a full-colour ink illustration — dramatic where it counts, quiet everywhere else.

Every stroke is original. The numerals are a custom brush-script typeface drawn as stroke paths, not a stock font, and each background is a detailed ink-and-screentone scene baked at your watch's native resolution.

FOUR INK SCENES

Samurai — a lone swordsman in crimson and black
Enso and Bamboo — a single brush ring and bamboo in the mist
Neon City — a rain-soaked skyline in violet
Great Wave — the breaking wave beneath Mount Fuji
Ink City — the same skyline in black ink, no colour at all
A TYPEFACE OF ITS OWN The time is set in an original ink-brush face with pressure-tapered strokes and dry-brush texture. Every glyph is designed as stroke paths and rasterised for each screen size, so it stays crisp from a 240-pixel fēnix 7S to a 454-pixel fēnix 8 — nothing is scaled on the watch.

MAKE IT YOURS

Set it up on your wrist. Hold MENU on the watch face for the full settings menu, on every supported model: or use Garmin Connect on your phone. Both read and write the same settings, so they never drift apart.
Accent colour: seven presets plus any custom colour, applied to the minute digits, the brush-stroke accent line and the data icons.
Five data fields, each chosen from nineteen sources: steps, heart rate, battery, altitude, calories, distance, floors climbed, active minutes, notifications, alarms, Body Battery, stress, Pulse Ox, seconds, step goal, battery days, weekday, date and temperature.
On watches with Garmin's own watch face edito, fēnix 8, fēnix E, Enduro 3, Forerunner 170, 570 and 970, Venu 4, vívoactive 6 and D2 Mach 2, the scene and accent colour can be set there too.
BUILT RIGHT

Always-on safe. On AMOLED watches the low-power display drops the artwork, dims every colour and walks the layout slowly around the screen, so nothing burns in.
Second-by-second ticking on transflective (MIP) models, drawn in a tightly clipped update that stays inside the watch's power budget.
Press and hold a data field to open the app behind it — heart rate, steps, Body Battery, calories and more.
Private by design. It reads on-device sensor history for the Body Battery, Stress and Pulse Ox fields, and uses complication access only so press-and-hold can open those apps. No GPS, no internet, nothing leaves your watch.
