Core: Put Whatever You Want at the Center of Your Garmin
Should time really be the most important thing on your watchface? Core lets you center any stat — steps, heart rate, body battery, or anything else that matters most to you.
Day 20: Core Watchface
"Should time be the most important thing on your Garmin watchface?"
That's the question that led me to build Core. Your watchface is a communication tool. What it shows prominently shapes what you pay attention to. So why not put the thing you actually care about front and center?
What is Core?
Core is a watchface that lets you choose what sits at the very center of the screen — the most prominent, most readable position. Options include:
- Time (default)
- Step count
- Heart rate
- Body Battery level
- Calories
- Floors climbed
- Intensity minutes progress
- Battery percentage
Who uses it
Athletes in training put heart rate or power at center during a season. Office workers trying to move more put step count front and center as a constant reminder. People managing energy live by Body Battery.
How to get it
Core is available in the Connect IQ Store — search for "Core" to install it on your Garmin.
