Goals: Apple Watch Rings — But for Garmin
Switched from Apple Watch and miss closing your rings? The Goals watchface brings that ring-closing satisfaction to Garmin with fully customizable metrics.
Day 3: Goals Watchface
"Apple Watch sucks if you're serious about running — but I do like the rings."
This is the most common thing I hear from people who switch to Garmin. They love the fitness data, the battery life, the GPS accuracy — but they miss that satisfying ring-closing ritual.
So I built Goals: a watchface that brings the ring concept to Garmin.
What you can track
Unlike Apple's fixed three rings (Move, Exercise, Stand), Goals lets you choose what goes in each ring:
- Steps
- Calories burned
- Floors climbed
- Intensity minutes
- Body Battery
- Active minutes
- … and more
Community colour schemes
One of the most popular features is the community colour system. Users share their ring colour combinations in the comments on my Instagram videos, and the best ones get featured. Your watchface, your palette.
How to get it
Search "Goals" in the Garmin Connect IQ Store, or use the link in my Instagram bio @vawbe. Available in free and premium tiers.
