FaceForge

Custom watch face for the Garmin fēnix 7 — from your photo or words

Tuned to its 64-colour MIP screen, drawn flat and bold so it reads in sunlight · 260×260, 280×280.

How it goes. Install the free FaceForge face from the Connect IQ store and choose it on your fēnix 7; the watch shows a QR code. Scan it, then describe the face you want in a sentence — "a red lighthouse on a rocky bay at dawn, gulls" — or upload a photo. FaceForge draws it; you place your numbers; about fifteen minutes later it is on the watch, by itself. No cable, no computer.

What it costs. Drawing and changing is free. $4.49 once to keep a face, ten for $10.99. No subscription.

What the watch shows. The time and date, steps, heart rate, battery, weather, Body Battery, and your Strava goals, each where you put it; sun and moon through the day; something small that moves with your steps if you like.
