Vienna A2 Digital

A digital watch face built around a wide display panel across the middle of the
screen, painted as a left-to-right colour gradient. Text sitting on the panel is
black; text outside it is white. Everything on the dial is drawn from vector
primitives, so it renders at the native resolution of each watch.

TIME
– Large digit font, sized by the watch itself.
– Black on the panel; white in Dark Mode.
– Time format: watch default, 12h, 12h with leading zero, 24h, or military.
– AM/PM is shown in 12-hour mode only.
– Optional seconds on their own grey plate. They tick once a second while the
watch is awake and read as dashes in low power.

PANEL AND COLOUR
– Display Color A (left) and Display Color B (right) set the panel gradient,
each from twelve colours: white, light gray, light blue, blue, mint, light
green, green, yellow, orange, red, pink, purple.
– Display Gradient can be switched off, leaving a flat panel in Color B.
– Dark Mode removes the panel and leaves the readings on the black background.
– On 64-colour MIP screens the gradient is drawn in a few deliberate steps,
snapped to the colours those screens can show.

DATA
– Five data slots, each showing one of 20 readings with a matching icon: steps,
calories, distance, heart rate, resting heart rate, Body Battery, stress,
altitude, VO2 max, floors (total, climbed, descended), active minutes (day,
week, moderate), notifications, battery in days, sunrise, sunset, week number.
– Readings that depend on a sensor, or on data the watch has not gathered yet,
show two dashes. Readings the watch cannot provide at all are not drawn.
– Day of week, date and battery percentage.

WEATHER
– Current condition as one of twelve icons, with day and night variants, plus the
temperature.
– A temperature bar places a marker between the day’s low and high.
– Weather comes from the Garmin Connect app, so it appears after the watch has
synced at least once.
– Not available on watches running Connect IQ 3.2 or older. There the icon,
temperature and bar are hidden rather than shown empty.

INDICATORS (each can be switched off where noted)
– Heart-rate zone bar: five blocks in the Garmin zone colours. The current zone
is widened and carries the live heart rate.
– Move bar (optional): a segmented ring with a face that follows how long you
have been inactive.
– Bluetooth dot, alarm bell (grey when none is set, red when one is) and
notification dot (grey when none, orange when there are notifications). Each is
optional.
– Day-of-week strip of seven segments, filled up to today, with Sunday marked.
– Battery strip of 23 segments.
– Month strip of twelve segments, with the current month lit.
– Day progress bar, filling from midnight to midnight.
– Dot row (optional animation): five dots in which one red dot steps once a
second, bouncing from end to end.
– Studio logo (optional).

ALWAYS-ON DISPLAY (AMOLED watches)
– Low power shows the time only, in white on black, shifted a few pixels each
minute to spread the load on the panel.
– An optional date line can be added underneath.
– This row does not appear in the settings on MIP watches, which stay visible
without an always-on mode and keep drawing the full face.

UNITS
– Temperature in Celsius or Fahrenheit, or follow the watch setting.
– Distance in metric or imperial, or follow the watch setting.

SETTINGS
– All settings are in the Garmin Connect phone app.
– Watches on Connect IQ 5.0 and newer also have an on-watch settings menu that
writes the same values.

PERMISSIONS
– Positioning: weather, sunrise and sunset.
– Sensor History: Body Battery and stress.
– User Profile: VO2 max, resting heart rate and heart-rate zones.
– The face does not record, store or transmit any personal data.
