The Top 5 Christmas Watchfaces for Your Garmin
The Christmas season is officially open. Five festive Garmin watchfaces, from a snowman you finish by hitting your step goal to a tree that decorates itself the more you move.
Christmas season is open: time for a festive Garmin
The Christmas season is officially open, so it's time to get your watch in the mood too. These are my five favourite Christmas watchfaces for Garmin, and most of them do more than look festive: they reward you for moving.
5. Would You Like to Build a Snowman?
Build a snowman without getting cold and wet. It starts as a half-built snowman, and it only gets finished, and dressed, when you hit your daily goal.
Install Build a Snowman →4. Christmas Jumper
Your watch in a Christmas sweater. Pick one of five knitted patterns, from Santa to reindeer, with the time, date, battery and a field of your choice on top.
Install Christmas Jumper →3. Noël
The Christmas decorations grow together with your progress towards your daily step goal, and you pick the stats you want around them: steps, floors, active minutes, calories, distance, heart rate and more. AMOLED watches get an always-on mode too.
Install Noël →2. Claus
Every day you hit your goal, Santa gets a new present on his sleigh. And if you're lazy, Santa won't be happy. Long-press the screen on newer touch watches for a full stats panel.
Install Claus →1. How to Decorate a Christmas Tree?
No time or space for a real tree? This one decorates itself. It starts empty, and the more you move, the more tinsel and baubles end up in it, until it's fully decorated when you hit your goal. So get moving.
Install Christmas Tree →Which one to pick
Want to be nudged into moving? The Christmas Tree, Snowman, Noël and Claus all fill up as you hit your goal. Just want the Christmas look? Christmas Jumper is the cosy one. And looking for spooky instead? Here are the best Halloween watchfaces.
