What it does

  • Wind: speed in knots (or m/s, km/h, mph), direction as a bug on the compass bezel and in the medallion rose, in letters and degrees (SE 135°), and the Beaufort force
  • Red night mode: after sunset the whole face turns red on black, so it does not dazzle you and keeps your night vision on watch (on by default, can be turned off)
  • Data age always visible: wind older than 3 hours is dimmed with its age highlighted, after 12 h it shows --
  • Wind forecast bar for up to 12 hours ahead, hours from 17 knots (5 Bft) highlighted
  • Pressure in hPa with the 3-hour trend: arrow and change, highlighted when it changes fast
  • Weather: condition icon, temperature, today's high / low and chance of rain
  • Sunrise and sunset, date and battery
  • Boat speed (SOG) in place of the date while a Sailing activity is running
  • Four layouts: Hero Knots, Top Knots, Wind Core and Flank
  • Five editions: Steel & Navy, Titanium & Champagne, Ceramic & White Gold, Navy Guilloché & Gold and the light Ivory & Steel
  • Always-on in three styles: time and wind, time and date, or time only; dark in every edition
  • Touch and hold the wind, weather, pressure, sun, date or battery to open the matching Garmin overview (touchscreen watches, can be turned off)
  • Drawn separately for 416, 454 and 466 px screens, nothing is scaled
  • No internet needed on the watch, no API key, no subscription: no data leaves your watch

Questions

Why does the face turn red at night?

Red night mode keeps your night vision on watch after sunset. Turn it off in the Connect IQ app: Settings / Red night mode / Off (on watches without the face editor also in the watch menu).

Wind shows --?

The watch has no wind from Garmin weather, or it is older than 12 h. Give Garmin Connect location access and keep the watch connected.

No wind direction?

In calm (0 knots) there is no direction, so the bugs disappear.
