Schlicht Analog

A minimal Garmin watch face, and the seed of a build-your-own tool

Schlicht Analog screenshot

Schlicht Analog is a very reduced analog watch face for the Garmin Venu 4 (41 mm). It has indices instead of numerals, plain hour and minute hands with no seconds hand, the day of the month, two configurable progress rings at the edge (steps outside, intensity minutes inside) and a small weather complication.

I built it for that one device and for my own use. It is not in the Connect IQ Store and I install it by sideloading over USB. In always-on mode it drops to dimmed indices and thin hands to stay within Garmin's AMOLED burn-in budget.

I am now turning it into an app where anyone can design their own watch face. That is in progress.
