Dotpace is a minimal dot-matrix digital watch face for Garmin: big centred time in Doto, a rounded dot typeface, with clean rows of dots for the stats you choose - Heart Rate, Steps, Stress, Body Battery, Weather and more - arranged calmly around it. Thirty-two colours, two layouts, a true-black AMOLED theme or a crisp light dial, and a 90-day Trends view for VO2max, Stress, Body Battery and Resting Heart Rate. No gradients, no clutter - just clean, even dots.

THE LAYOUT
Large hours and minutes, dead-centre. The date shifts to balance the face, framing the time when rows are even or moving to the emptier side. Seconds show only while the screen is awake.

TWO LAYOUTS, ONE APP
Rows: two stats above the time, two below, date framing the clock - a lone stat in an empty row recentres to the edge. Cross: a stat pinned to each of the four edges, time dead-centre.

PICK YOUR METRICS
Four slots fill clockwise, or leave any empty. On-device, metrics are grouped into six categories so 36 choices are a couple of taps, not a long scroll: Activity (Steps, Distance, Calories, Active Calories, Floors Climbed, Floors Descended, Intensity Minutes, Move Bar Level), Body (Heart Rate, Stress, Body Battery, Breathing Rate, Recovery Time, Pulse Ox, VO2max, Skin Temperature), Device (Notifications, Phone Connection, Watch Battery), Weather (current conditions, Feels Like, Today's High, Today's Low, Humidity, UV Index, Wind Speed, Elevation, Barometric Pressure, Sunrise/Sunset), Weekly Totals (Distance, Steps, Floors Climbed, Calories, Active Minutes), and Wheelchair (Pushes, Push Distance). One switch sets metric or imperial units.

COLOUR IT YOUR WAY
Colour hours and minutes independently, plus metric values and labels. Thirty-two Tailwind-inspired tones - sixteen bright, sixteen deep, plus white, black and grey. Bold accent or subtle monochrome, your call.

TRACK YOUR TRENDS
Open Settings, then Trends, for a 90-day history of VO2max, Stress, Body Battery and Resting Heart Rate - each its own dot-and-line chart with a trend arrow. An overview page lines up all five at a glance.

BUILT TO BE READ
Dark or Light theme - true-black AMOLED contrast or a clean white dial. Crisp dot-matrix type, always-on and low-power aware. Scales pixel-perfectly from 218px to 454px round watches.

WORKS ON YOUR WATCH
Built for round Garmin displays from 218px to 454px, AMOLED and MIP alike - Fenix, Epix, Enduro, Forerunner, Venu, Vivoactive, MARQ, D2, Descent, Approach and AMOLED Instinct models.

YOUR DATA STAYS ON YOUR WATCH
Dotpace reads only what it needs: time, date, your chosen stats, weather, last known location for sunrise/sunset, and your profile for Active Calories and VO2max. Trends history stays on the watch. No accounts, no analytics, no network requests - nothing leaves the device.
