Face
Composer
Compose your Garmin watch face on the web: your photo, the parts you want, exactly where you want them. Send it, and it is on your wrist within 5 minutes. No app to install on the phone, no account to create.
Every feature is free for 7 days, no payment to start. After that, one purchase: $9.99 for a full year from the day you buy. No subscription, nothing to cancel.
Two pieces: The Face on the watch, Face Composer on the web
The Face is a Connect IQ watch face that shows whatever you compose. It checks for a new dial every 5 minutes, so you never plug anything in.
Install The Face
From the Connect IQ Store. Your Device ID (XXXX-XXXX) is in the watch's settings under Watch Face → Customize.
Open Face Composer
On a computer, type the Device ID once, plus a 6-digit Web code read from the watch to prove it is yours. No account, no password.
Compose
Drag parts onto the dial, pick a photo and frame it, choose colours and sizes. Save it to your Collection (up to 30).
Send
Press To watch. Within 5 minutes the watch shows it. Switch between saved dials from your phone's browser, anywhere.
Everything on the dial is a part you place
Free placement
Time, date, battery, seconds, notifications, hands, rim ticks and meters, small analog clocks for a second time zone, your own text, lines, circles and rectangles. Put them anywhere, with undo, align and multi-select.
Your photo, framed your way
Square, circle, heart, star and more. Zoom, move, brightness and saturation. The cut-out travels to the watch in 32 colours, tuned for AMOLED.
Body and weather
Heart rate, steps, floors, calories, weight, Body Battery, stress, respiration. Weather now, humidity, wind, pressure, altitude, rain, moon age, today's high/low and a now / +1h / +2h strip.
Live markets
Two stock parts: price or daily change for any ticker Yahoo Finance knows, on the dial itself.
Live scores
Four game slots for pro baseball, football, basketball, hockey and the major soccer leagues including J1. Score and status, your team, updated while the game is on.
Arrives in 5 minutes
The watch fetches your dial in the background. No cable, no phone app, no waiting for a sync.
A Collection of 30
Keep up to 30 dials and switch between them from any browser, including your phone.
Share with friends
Make a link for any dial and send it by message or social media. Whoever opens it can add the dial to their own Collection and adjust it for their watch. A public gallery is coming.
No account
Your Device ID is the only identifier. Nothing to sign up for, nothing to remember.
7 days free, then one simple purchase

What we keep, and why
Face Composer stores your dials, your photos and your settings on our server under your watch's Device ID, because that is how the watch fetches them. There is no account and no password. Prices come from Yahoo Finance, scores from public sports feeds, forecasts from Open-Meteo. Payment is handled by Stripe; we receive your email and Device ID to send the key and to contact you if needed.
