The watchface is based on the popular Zen Watch (available only for older devices), but it is optimized for the current generation of Garmin devices with 240x240 screen resolution and 3+ SDK. The goal of the watchface is a very clean user experience, but with optional functionality by configurable data fields. This watchface is also built to be as power efficient as possible. This is done via updating the screen only once per minute and by having just a single screen – this minimize the screen redraws. The watchface is more battery friendly than the original ones. Even moving between different screens and returning to the watchface is blazing fast – just try it and you might be surprised. For this reason, I do not want to add too many features, but if you really miss something, let me know and I will see if it can be added. The watchface is completely free with all it's features - Merry Christmas ;) </p>

Skvělý. Ještě kdyby to zobrazilo i hodnotu stresu, bylo by to dokonalé. Rozhodně dobrá práce.

I really want to use this but the font for the time is too big for me (I’m using vivoactive 3 music). I also like to put the date on top and the steps at the bottom of the time but both are placed too high and too low. I wish it could sit a little above/below the time so that everything is in the center.

Ahoj, díky! Veškerý nastavení je přes aplikaci Garmin Connect - tam vyber Garmin Devices / Tvoje hodinky / Appearance / Watch Faces / Zen Minimalist a Settings. Notifikační ikony se zapínají volbou "Show notification icons" - pokud to zakážeš, můžeš si místo nich navolit do horního políčka (upper field) co chceš - klidně můžeš nechat i prázdné.

Skvělý vzhled...jen mi chybí v názvu dne a měsíce háček a čárka.Místo písmenka s háčkem nebo čárkou tam je čtvereček nebo obdelník.Proto dávám jen 4 hvězdy... jinak bych dal všech 5.

Very nice and simple and seem to be gentle to the battery as well. I have two wishes though. I use Swedish locale and the Zen font doesn't seem to include the Swedish letters å, ä, ö. So when displaying the date for Monday(måndag), Saturday (lördag) and Sunday(söndag) the å and ö letter gets replaced by a rectangle. Would be nice if these could be included. Also when having the date in top section the edges gets cut off when Thursday is weekday because 4 letters are used i.e THUR 28/3 (TORS 28/3). Maybe possible to move down top field a pixle or two. Thanks

I like the simple and elegant design! Would be great if there's an option to view the altimeter and barometer.

After tinkering around with a number of other watch faces, this one is now my favorite. I want people to know that I am giving it a full 5 stars for a number of reasons including: Quality of design, ease of customization, aesthetics, and impact on battery life. To help everyone understand my user type, I’d say I am new to Garmin and smart watches, experienced in design strategies as an educator, and currently using my Viviactive 3 Music mostly as a watch and for some biofeedback with no GPS related functions. Overall I’d say keep this watch face in your collection, give it a try, and share your own thoughts in the reviews. Special thanks to the designer(s).

The app looks great on the Fenix 5 plus. The Design itself is very minimalistic, so it‘s made for people who do not want to see a lot of informations. I hade trouble to change the settings, while I‘ll tried to change them by using the watch. I‘ve send a request and received the answer quick. You need to change the settings in the Garmin IQ-App. It works great! Thanks for your work! I can recommend this app!

Best and only watchmaker I use.. Very stylish and customizations work perfectly. Large font for date etc could be a bit larger for those of us with weak eyes.

Sobre et raffiné . Pas de chrono pour économiser la batterie . Différents champs avec différentes tailles possibles si vous le souhaitez . C'est parfait

Very clean & efficient design, enjoying the WF very much, thank you! :) One point maybe: Is it maybe possible to add the DND status to the notifications (e.g. below BT)? Would be cool :)
