In space, no one can hear you scream. On your wrist, they can read the time.

This watch face recreates the opening titles of Ridley Scott's 1979 classic. Across the middle of the dial, the word ALIEN builds itself one stroke at a time, exactly in the order of the film: first the I in the centre, then a leg of the A, the diagonal of the N, and on until the whole title stands complete. Each stroke fades up from deep space into the film's electric blue and then settles to white. When the word is whole it holds, fades away, and after a moment of empty sky the first stroke appears again.

The sequence follows the clock, not your wrist. Raise your watch at any moment and the title is wherever that moment puts it — half-lettered, nearly whole, or complete — just as the opening of the film unfolds while the USCSS Nostromo drifts past in the dark.

Behind it all, a quiet field of stars drifts slowly across the screen.

Everything you need at a glance:
• A clean digital clock above the title, following your 12/24-hour setting
• Weekday and date beneath the title
• Battery level with a gauge
• Today's steps and calories
• All readings in a pale green, the colour of a ship's terminal screen
• An optional step goal ring around the edge, filling as you walk

Make it yours: in the watch face's settings in the Garmin Connect app, switch the step goal ring on or the background stars off. The ring is off and the stars are on to begin with.

Made for both AMOLED and MIP displays — fēnix, epix, Forerunner, Venu, vívoactive, Enduro, MARQ, Descent and more. On AMOLED watches in always-on mode the title and readings step aside, and only a dim clock stays lit, gently shifting position to protect your screen. On MIP watches the title is shown complete between wrist raises, and builds again when you look.

Made for fans of the Alien saga: Ellen Ripley, the Weyland-Yutani Corporation and its special order 937, the derelict on LV-426, the facehugger, the chestburster and the even the Xenomorph itself are all embued within. Whether you signed on with the Colonial Marines in Aliens, followed the Engineers in Prometheus, or caught Alien: Romulus, this is a watch face for anyone who still checks the motion tracker before turning a corner.
