Four families: monochrome LCD and terminal displays with neutral or colored backlight (Light and Dark LCD, Siemens Orange, Nokia Green, Ice Blue, Pearl White, Fenix Red, Amber Terminal, Green Terminal), early color displays (Early Color, Program Manager, Turbo IDE, CGA), neon cyberpunk palettes (Neon Noir, Synthwave, Toxic Neon, Electric Blue, Neon Sunset) and restrained modern tones (Ocean, Desert, Rose Gold, Forest, Slate).

A scheme changes the background, polygon, bezel track, bezel progress, clock and data colors. You can then adjust each color individually; selecting another scheme replaces those adjustments.

Two additional colors can be entered as Custom HEX Color 1 and 2 (#RRGGBB) in the Connect IQ app › Appearance and then selected as Custom 1 or Custom 2 for any role. The TIKKS color picker provides HEX codes and previews the 64 colors MIP displays can show.

The bezel track is the unfilled part of the ring. Colors may look slightly different on MIP watches.

Big Clock shows up to four fields; Medium Clock shows up to eight. Select None in a field to hide it.

Seconds size (Medium Clock): Small shows seconds beside the minutes; Large shows one continuous HH:MM:SS and hides am/pm.

Each example combines clock size, data fields, polygon and bezel. Recreate it with the settings above or with the appearance wizard, using any metrics.

An External field shows any Garmin complication installed on the watch. Training Status shows Garmin's assessment of recent training load.

Smart Weather highlights the next notable change; Upcoming weather looks ahead within the Forecast range. Both are configured in Settings › Weather.

With Touch shortcuts on, holding a field opens its Garmin app when the metric offers one. Scroll long text scrolls values that do not fit, Show units shows or hides unit symbols, and Data font switches between the pixel font (Default) and the watch's System font.

Units follow the watch's system settings; Wind unit in Settings › Weather changes wind speed only.

Bezel progress can follow seconds, the steps goal, battery or another metric. None removes the ring and enlarges the clock and fields.

Without the bezel, the background is always black. With the polygon hidden too, the face adjusts clock and data colors if needed to keep them readable.

Bezel seconds mode offers Fill / unfill, Fill and reset, or Single segment. Bezel seconds marker adds the current second when the ring follows another metric.

Enable Touch shortcuts and keep the face awake. Hours default to Heart rate and minutes to Steps; choose None to disable either hold screen.

The graph and five rows show your data when you open the screen. Available history varies by watch. Hold anywhere to close it, or set how long it stays open with Info screen time (2–10 seconds, default 4 seconds).

Alternate time zones appear in data fields selected as Alt Time Zone 1 or 2. Their default labels, TZ1 and TZ2, can be changed in the Connect IQ app › Date and time to custom text of up to 5 characters, such as LON or NY.

Smart Weather shows the next enabled event within the Forecast range and current weather otherwise. Rain counts once its chance reaches Minimum precipitation chance.

On AMOLED, Full AOD keeps the clock layout and fields; Minimal shows the clock and date. Both have a black background with no polygon, seconds or animation.

Colored AOD uses your selected colors; turn it off for grayscale. Choose Low, Medium or High for Day brightness and Night brightness, then select when they change: Profile Sleep / Wake, Profile Sleep / Wake -2h, Sunrise / Sunset or Never (default). Data brightness (25–100%, default 50%) dims the data fields without changing the clock or bezel.

MIP watches keep the full face in low power, with optional Always-On Seconds. AMOLED never shows seconds in always-on mode.

Battery saver dims the face's colors at or below the selected level. The Connect IQ app also shows the installed version under System.

Up and Down choose an option, Select continues and Back returns to the previous step. Leaving from the first step cancels all changes.

Medium Clock adds the Seconds size step. After the field counts, one metric is chosen for each field; the bezel step shows or hides the configured progress.

The list contains Start appearance wizard, Appearance, Data fields, Date and time, Always-On Display (AMOLED only), Weather, Goals, Battery saver, User Guide and System. User Guide shows a QR code that opens this page.

Up and Down wrap around the list; Select opens the highlighted middle row and Back returns. Color rows preview while scrolling, and selecting a row confirms the color.

On MIP watches, the default scheme is Dark LCD. Colors may look slightly different, and AMOLED-only always-on style and brightness controls are not shown.
