How to set it up

  • On watches with Garmin's watch face editor (fenix 8, fenix 9, fenix E, Enduro 3 and 4, Forerunner 570, 970, 170 and 70, Venu 4, vivoactive 6, Approach S72, D2 Mach 2): long-press the watch face and choose Customize. Style = layout, Accent Color = seconds hand, Data Color = dial colour, Data = the four fields. 24-hour ring, second time zone city, seconds, power saver, date and always-on are set in the Connect IQ app on your phone.
  • On other watches open the watch face menu (hold MENU, or long-press the screen on touch watches), select Navy Field and its settings: everything is there, no phone needed.

What it does

  • Field watch dial: large numerals 1 to 12, an inner 24-hour ring (13 to 24, can be hidden), sword hands with lume inlay
  • Two or four big data fields, or time only
  • 21 values for each field: heart rate, stress, Body Battery, steps, floors, calories, intensity minutes, Pulse Ox, respiration, weather temperature, sunrise/sunset, notifications, recovery time, distance, watch battery, date, digital 24-hour time, second time zone (35 cities, daylight saving handled automatically), altitude, sea-level pressure and solar intensity (watches with solar charging); values your watch does not provide show --
  • Made for MIP: flat colours from the 64-colour palette, crisp pixel fonts, no blurry gradients
  • Seconds hand: when you look, always, or off. "Always" keeps it running with your wrist down on MIP watches (fenix 7, fenix 8 Solar, fenix 9 Pro Solar, Enduro 3 and 4, Forerunner 255 and 955)
  • Power saver (MIP watches): with your wrist down the face shows time only (numerals, ring, hands), skips the data fields and the seconds hand and stops reading sensors; at night (your sleep time from your Garmin profile, otherwise 22:00 to 7:00) or always; on AMOLED, always-on keeps the style you choose
  • Always-on on AMOLED in three styles: hands and 12 3 6 9 numerals, hands only, or large digital time
  • Five dial colours: black, olive, sand, navy and white; five seconds hand colours
  • Date format: day and date, date and month, or week number
  • Touch and hold a field to open the matching Garmin widget, hold the date to open the calendar (touchscreen watches)
  • Restore defaults right in the settings
  • No data leaves your watch

Questions

Does the seconds hand drain the battery?

Only if you set it to "Always". Garmin gives every watch face a strict power budget for this; if the watch reports that the face went over it, the seconds hand quietly stops with your wrist down for 24 hours and then tries again; after three times in a row it stays off until you change a setting.

Why is altitude, pressure or solar intensity --?

The face shows what your watch provides; solar intensity needs a watch with solar charging, otherwise it shows --; in shade or darkness it shows 0%.

How do I set the second time zone?

Settings / Second time zone city, then put "Second time zone" into a field. Daylight saving time is handled automatically.

Is there a seconds hand in always-on?

Garmin updates always-on only once a minute, so not on AMOLED.

Why doesn't a field change in the watch face editor?

A field set to digital 24-hour time or second time zone in the settings is not changed by the editor (Garmin has no editor item for them). Choose another value for that field in the settings first, then the editor can change it.
