The Top 5 Halloween Watchfaces for Your Garmin
Your Garmin doesn't know it's spooky season yet. Five watchfaces — from Garmin's own Spooky Cat to a monster that actually haunts you for being lazy — to get it in the mood for Halloween.
Your Garmin needs a Halloween makeover
Spooky season deserves a spooky wrist. Here are five Halloween watchfaces worth installing before Halloween actually arrives.
5. Spooky Cat
Garmin's own seasonal offering, officially called Spooky Cat and Pumpkin Jack. The black cat puts on its witch hat, the pumpkins get carved — and because it's a Garmin-built seasonal face, the look shifts with the time of year rather than staying static.
Install Spooky Cat →4. Boo
A little ghost you keep happy by reaching your daily goal. Fully recolourable to whatever palette you want, and on newer touch devices you can long-press the screen to bring up a full stats panel without leaving the face.
Install Boo →3. Pumpkin
The pumpkin's mood tracks your goal progress — it's genuinely sad when you've been lazy, and reaching your step goal is what turns that around. Configurable with steps, floors, active minutes, calories, distance, altitude, heart rate and more, and OLED devices like the Venu get a proper always-on mode.
Install Pumpkin →2. Creepy Halloween
A watchface built to match a costume: ghosts that blink their eyes at you every time you glance at your wrist, with multiple colour options if the default palette isn't quite your vibe.
Install Creepy Halloween →1. Monster
My favourite of the five, and the most functional. The monster uses Garmin's Move Bar in the background to decide how to behave — stay inactive too long and it starts haunting you, but keep moving and it settles down. Choose from steps, active minutes, distance, floors, altitude, calories, heart rate and notifications as your stats.
Install Monster →Which one to pick
Want the official Garmin look, go Spooky Cat or Creepy Halloween — both made by Garmin itself. Want to actually be nudged into moving, Pumpkin or Monster do that with a mood system baked in. Want it to just look the part, Boo rounds out the five.
