Aura – Digital Health Face

Aura is a digital health watch face: a soft field of light behind quiet time, in seven palettes that each dissolve in their own pattern. In Mood mode, the colors follow your stress level through the day, and a word under the time says it: calm, balanced, tense or stressed. Body Battery runs around the dial as a hairline ring.

MOOD MODE
• The palette follows Garmin’s stress level: calm (rest) is Lagoon’s still layers of teal and blue, balanced (low) Lavender’s rings, tense (medium) Dusk’s drifting ribbons, stressed (high) Sunrise’s spiral of peach and coral
• Neighboring moods share their colors, and the stiller the pattern, the calmer you are: the face changes gently, never like an alarm
• The mood changes only once your stress has stayed at a new level for five minutes, so the colors never flicker, and it stays while your watch measures no stress, during and after an activity

SEVEN PALETTES
• Lagoon, Aurora, Lavender, Dusk, Sunrise, Sage and Graphite, each with its own pattern: still layers, northern lights curtains, rings, ribbons, spiral arms, marble veins and satin folds
• Every palette on a dark or a light dial
• Colors designed in OKLCH: neighboring hues at even perceived lightness, so the blends stay clean, never muddy

YOUR BODY AT A GLANCE
• Big, thin time in Jost, the date in spaced capitals above it
• Body Battery as a hairline ring with a dot at its end, and as a number
• Heart rate and steps
• Every text keeps at least 4.5:1 contrast against the glow behind it, on every palette, dial and screen size
• Touch and hold Body Battery, the mood word, heart rate or steps to open the watch’s own app

BUILT FOR AMOLED
• The glow is dithered to the screen’s colors, so it stays smooth without banding
• Dimmed, shifting always-on mode with the time and the Body Battery line, designed for Garmin’s burn-in rules

WATCHES: 50 round Garmin AMOLED models of the fēnix, epix, MARQ, Forerunner, Venu, vívoactive, Instinct, Approach, D2 and Descent families (all listed on this page). The soft light needs a color AMOLED screen, so MIP watches are not supported.

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

GOOD TO KNOW
• Stress, Body Battery and heart rate come from your watch’s own measurements; a value it has not measured yet shows “–“.
• Aura is an independent design, not affiliated with or endorsed by Garmin. Body Battery is Garmin’s name for its energy measure.

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