Retro Watt

Auto: Sun shows Light from sunrise to sunset and Dark otherwise; Auto: Twilight uses dawn and dusk instead. Sun times come from the weather source and the watch position; without them Light runs from 06:00 to 18:00. The face switches within a minute of the change.

With Tap Shortcuts set to Complications & Theme, touching and holding the clock switches to the other fixed theme and leaves the automatic mode.

Top Section: Logo, Analog (two gauges, default), Digital (one wide field) or Empty. Middle Section: Analog (three gauges) or Digital (five fields, default).

Logo Text replaces the logo with your own text of up to 11 characters, in the same place and colour. It is entered only in the Connect IQ app; leave it empty for the logo.

The Data group on the watch lists only the slots the chosen sections show; the phone lists every slot.

A gauge shows a value with its needle; metrics with a goal fill toward that goal. Digital fields show the value with its unit; the heart-rate field adds a short graph of the last readings.

The wide top slot and the bottom slot take date and time-like metrics: Date, Sunrise / Sunset, Dawn / Dusk and Event. Battery shows days left as a gauge and follows Battery Format (50%, 5d, 5d 50% or 50% 5d) as a digital field.

The same two slots can show a status row instead: Status Icons, or Date + Status Icons (the Bottom Slot default). On the watch pick it under Top Slot or Bottom Slot; on the phone under ★ Top Section · Digital or ★ Bottom Slot.

Touch and hold a field to open the Garmin view behind it when Tap Shortcuts is on. Touching the status row does nothing.

Steps, Floors and Active Minutes fill toward your goals from Garmin Connect; Calories, Distance, Active Day and the four weekly sport bars fill toward the goals you set in Goals. Every bar works whatever the data fields show.

Pulse Ox fills from 80 to 100 % and Move Bar in five steps. When the watch cannot supply a metric, for example Solar Input without solar charging, the bar stays empty and shows only its icon.

Heart Rate is a slider: a short lit segment marks your heart rate between your resting heart rate (left) and the top of your heart-rate zones (right); without a profile it uses 40–200 bpm. It is hidden in always-on mode, where heart rate is not refreshed.

Event fills over the last 30 days before your event and is full once it is reached; it stays empty while no event is set.

On the watch a goal opens a list of values in fixed steps with the current one highlighted; Start saves it, Back keeps the old value. Distance goals are entered in kilometres also when the watch shows miles.

Steps, Floors and Active Week keep the goals set in Garmin Connect.

Event: pick the day (Off, today and up to a year ahead) and then the hour; on the phone use Event Date and Event Hour. The Event field shows 12d 4h, under a day 4h 20m, and 0m once reached. The hour follows the watch’s local time.

Clock Suffix shows AM or PM in 12-hour mode: Show (default), AM/PM Only or Off. Display Time Offset runs the face up to 60 minutes ahead (phone only). Alt Time Zone sets the Alt Time Zone field from UTC−12 to UTC+14 in half hours.

Status icons: Bluetooth, Alarm, Do Not Disturb (all on by default) and Notifications (off). Without a status row they show small under the bottom slot (above the clock on 390 and 416 px screens), each only while its state is active; with a row they show only there, larger.

Dim Inactive Icons (default On) keeps an icon whose state is off in the row, dimmed, so every icon stays in its place. Off hides it and centres the rest; the short date in the row follows Date Format.

Bottom Text shows or hides MADE IN CZECHOSLOVAKIA under the bottom slot.

AOD Pixel Shift (default On) moves the picture slightly every minute to protect the screen. The arrow bar becomes a thin line, the Heart Rate bar is hidden and Bottom Text is not shown.

A status row shows only the active icons; dimmed icons are not drawn. With Dim Inactive Icons on the active ones keep their places, with it off they stay centred.

Steps and other data refresh once a minute in always-on mode.

OpenWeatherMap needs your own API key, entered in the Connect IQ app; OWM Refresh sets how often it updates (15, 30 or 60 min). The watch shows OWM Status and OWM Last Sync.

Pressure Unit sets the Pressure field: hPa (default), mbar, mmHg or inHg.

Available on touch watches; Instinct 3 AMOLED has no touch screen and skips the row.

Sunrise / Sunset, Dawn / Dusk and 24h open the sunrise or sunset view, whichever comes next.

Up and Down move the red highlight, Start opens a group or switches the highlighted value, Back returns. On touch watches tap a row.

Refresh Data reads all displayed values again. Clear Storage removes the stored weather and keeps your settings.
