Tier One – Satory Precision Watch – GIGN

Satory is a digital precision watch face: the time around a red aiming point at the exact center of the screen, inside a marksman’s reticle. Part of the Tier One series, it is inspired by France’s GIGN, the intervention group of the Gendarmerie nationale, and named after its base at Versailles-Satory.

THE RETICLE
• Hours and minutes around a red aiming point at the exact center, always the same distance from it whatever the digits
• The time in B612, the typeface designed for Airbus cockpit screens
• A seconds ring with crosshairs at 12, 3, 6 and 9 and a red tick on the current second while the screen is awake
• Duplex posts at 3, 6 and 9, and the French tricolore at 12
• Night or white dial, with the GIGN emblem centered on the aiming point (can be turned off)

YOUR DATA
• Two data fields under the time, each with its short label: heart rate and the air temperature by default, or any of 34 fields such as steps, Body Battery, Pulse Ox, altitude, pressure or sunrise and sunset
• The date in spaced capitals, and the battery with its percentage, red when low
• Temperatures in °C or °F as your watch is set; missing data shows as “–“, never an old value
• On touchscreen watches, touch and hold a field or the battery to open the watch’s app for it

RED NIGHT VISION
• From last light to first light the whole face turns red to keep your eyes adapted to the dark, and also while the watch’s night mode is on
• Or keep it red all the time, or turn it off

BUILT FOR YOUR SCREEN
• AMOLED: dimmed, shifting always-on mode with the posts and the time around a dim red aiming point, red at night, designed for Garmin’s burn-in rules
• MIP: every color picked for the 64-color screen, the whole face always on
• Change everything in the Connect IQ app or right on the watch

THE TIER ONE SERIES
Four watch faces, each inspired by a different special forces unit and each with an idea of its own: Thunder, a night-jump tactical display; Frogman, the dive watch of the Navy SEALs; Sabre, a field watch that finds north by the sun; Satory, a precision reticle. All four are in the Connect IQ Store: look for “Tier One” to complete the set.

WATCHES: 69 round Garmin models of the fēnix, epix, MARQ, Forerunner, Venu, vívoactive, Enduro, Instinct, Approach, D2 and Descent families (all listed on this page).

LANGUAGES: English, Polish, Spanish, German and French.

GOOD TO KNOW
• The temperature is the air temperature of the weather your phone sends to the watch: Satory uses no weather service of its own. The watch’s sensor, warmed by your wrist, is a separate field.
• Until the watch knows a position (a GPS activity, or weather from your phone), red night vision follows the clock: 20:00 to 06:00.
• Satory is an independent design, not affiliated with or endorsed by the GIGN or the French Gendarmerie nationale, nor by any other military unit or government, or Garmin. The GIGN name and emblem are trademarks of the Gendarmerie nationale.

PRIVACY: Satory has no server, collects no data and sends nothing anywhere: everything stays on your watch.
