Get Gold Rule on the Connect IQ Store Free

Gold Rule is the dressier face in the set. The full date sits at the top, the time between two ruled rows of three values, with a pair of values below and two slim arcs at the sides.

On the face

  • Full date, such as TUE 14 OCTOBER
  • Time with solid hours, gold outlined minutes and seconds in active mode
  • Top row: heart rate, steps and battery days left to start with
  • Bottom row: distance, temperature and intensity minutes to start with
  • Footer pair: notifications and calories to start with
  • Two labelled arcs: Body Battery™ and stress to start with

What you can change

All ten data slots can be changed from your phone, and most can be left empty.

Also in the phone settings: 12 or 24 hour time or the watch's setting, a leading zero for 12 h, seconds on or off, the date style (TUE 14 OCT, 14 OCT TUE, TUE 10/14 or 2026-10-14), the always-on style (Rich, Minimal or Time only), units, the first day of the week and a second time zone: pick a city and it follows daylight saving, or set your own offset. On a touch watch, touch and hold a field to open the matching screen on the watch.

Settings are changed in the Connect IQ Store app or the Garmin Connect app on your phone. How settings, always-on mode and missing values work.
