Classic analog, with the data from your Garmin

Analog Garmin watch face Classic Five in cream on a gold fēnix 8 on old books by a window

Classic Five is an analog Garmin watch face in the style of a classic wristwatch: a dial with a brushed metal look, bold hour and minute hands and two small sub-dials with their own needles. At first glance it looks like a traditional watch. Look again and it shows battery, Body Battery, heart rate or steps.

It comes with five dials: green, pink, cream, blue and anthracite. You color the hands and the text independently, each from 18 colors. That way Classic Five goes just as well with a leather strap as with an outdoor jacket.

What you see on the display and what each element shows.

Data fields

You decide what goes into four fields. The window at the top shows the date or the digital time, the bottom field shows steps, calories or distance. The two sub-dials on the left and right each show battery, Body Battery, stress, heart rate, temperature or floors, as a number with a small needle. To get started, there are three ready-made layouts: Everyday, Energy and On the go. Values your watch doesn’t provide appear as “--”.
