WorldFace

The whole world, live, on your wrist.

A map of the Earth with the night sweeping across it, the sun overhead and you on it. Around the map, thirteen fields you write in plain words.

What it does

Day and night, as it happens
The night side moves across the map as the Earth turns, and your sunrise and sunset sit on your own meridian.
The space station
The ISS where it is right now, with the orbit it is about to fly: you can see when it passes over you.
Fields in your own words
Type temp, steps% or price1 and the field shows it: weather, health, stocks, a second time zone, more than fifty values.
Your colours
Nine colours from the oceans to the grid, and a night side tuned separately for AMOLED and MIP screens.
Set up on the web
Fields, presets and colours on this site, with the face redrawing as you change them.

On different watches

The same face, drawn for each screen: what changes between AMOLED and MIP screens, wrist down, and on older or smaller watches.

AMOLED screensMIP screens
ColoursFull colour.The 64 colours of the screen: the map, the fields and the night keep their look, with fewer shades.
The night sideA see-through shade over land and sea. How dark it is, awake and wrist down, is yours to set on the settings page.A see-through shade too, or, if you prefer, the night drawn in two colours of its own (night land, night sea).
Wrist downSet to Auto, the face goes minimal: the time dimmed, the date above it, a few status icons. Choose Full in Garmin Connect to keep the whole face.Set to Auto, the whole face stays on. Choose Minimal in Garmin Connect for a quieter screen.
Seconds and heart rate
Shown while the watch is awake, for the few seconds after you raise your wrist; wrist down, the heart rate shows "--".
Older watches
WorldFace is the one of the three that also runs on the fēnix 6 family, MARQ (first generation), Enduro, Descent Mk2 and Forerunner 945 LTE. There the night side is always drawn in its own colours.
The smallest-memory watches
On the fēnix 6S / 6S Pro, the first MARQ models, the Descent Mk2S and the Forerunner 945 LTE: no stocks, no light-time field, no moon in the fields and no pictograms on the bottom bars. The ISS stays.
Where you are
Your position comes from Garmin weather (your phone's location), or from the coordinates you set.
