Fenix 7 series stock watch face on FR970

Dear Garmin, can you please add the Fenix 7 series stock watch face below to the IQ stock, in an all stars manner.

Thanks

they won't.

it is a very serious part of the garmin's market segmentation: every product in the line-up has distinct features that others don't have (even down to data fields) so you'd have to buy a different product for a different use case.

now, when the feature set started to converge to each other in the fenix/forerunner line-up, it is even more important to restrict the forerunner line to the primitive, 80's looking toy like, childish watch faces

that being said, the Fenix 8 is now head to head speaking of cheap Chinese fake looking watch faces, but it is not there yet completely - there is still some outdoor feeling there.

I appreciate this view, however there are currently all star sets on the IQ store, including the Fenix 8 set, so other watches along with Epix Pro sets etc. The particular watche face above is one of the only ones that’s not on there at a fee. If it’s segmented, surely the other sets wouldn’t be on there.

are these garmin's original faces, or those kind of 3rd party, "does not really support AOD always on and lack many data fields" type of watch faces.

if these are fully functional faces that is very good, because in past these were very much restricted (due to garmin's API restrictions of course) not to mention the serious battery draw here and there.

They are third party but fully functioning if you pay for the pro versions.

They are original Garmin faces listed and sold by Garmin on the IQ store. Pop on there and search Garmin All Star, Garmins own store has the sets for sale.

No, the all star sets are Garmins original sold by Garmin.

Not as good as the 3rd party ones most of the time though.

This is also my favorite watch face. I found a great 3rd party one here, and it's even free: https://apps.garmin.com/nb-NO/apps/f0e52b2f-4782-4b75-b115-cd55bb9e1ced

You can configure it to look totally similar to Garmins stock. I suspect it don't come that way out of the box due to copyright or something.

So if you are willing to use some time to learn the settings here, this is a solid watch face. Full info on Aod as well.
