Hi all. I'm the developer of Empress, an independent Connect IQ watch face (not a Garmin product). I'd welcome any feedback.
Empress is a chronograph-style face designed like a jewellery watch. There's no bezel ring, just a hairline minute track at the edge, and three pavé-rimmed subdials fill the screen.
What's in it
- 5 gemstone finishes: Sapphire, Emerald, Ruby (on gold subdials), Amethyst and Diamond White (on platinum subdials)
- 12 o'clock subdial: heart-rate gauge with a moon-phase window
- 9 o'clock subdial: watch battery. 6 o'clock subdial: steps against your daily goal
- Digital time panel: weekday, date, time with AM/PM, plus one data field (calories by default; floors climbed, distance, Body Battery or notifications)
- Settings: seconds as digital, sweep hand or off; dial tone black or charcoal; moon phase on/off
- Always-on: a thin outlined treatment in low-power mode
Supported watches: AMOLED Garmin watches. Please check the full list on the product page or the store page before installing.
Price: paid (one-time purchase, no subscription). Everything is free to use for 24 hours after you install it. All five finishes come with one purchase. Payment for the unlock is handled by the third-party service KiezelPay, not by Garmin. Once unlocked, other supported watches on the same Garmin account don't need a second purchase.
Feedback welcome: which gemstone would you pick, and is the subdial layout easy to read on your watch?
