About Close Encounters
A friendly alien. A flying saucer. One cow having a very unusual day.
Close Encounters is a free watch face with a glowing green tractor beam, a violet night sky and a bold digital clock. The saucer and floating cow stay still while your daily data does the work.
FIVE FIELDS. YOUR CHOICE.
Choose each of the five data positions independently: two above the clock and three below it. Available choices:
- Heart rate and resting heart rate
- Steps and Body Battery
- Stress and calories
- Floors climbed and active minutes today
- Watch battery and notification count
- Empty
Use the watch face's Settings menu to choose your fields. You can show the same value in several places or hide a field. The default layout shows watch battery, notifications, heart rate, Body Battery and steps. Colors and artwork are fixed.
TIME, DATE AND DAILY PROGRESS
The clock follows your watch's 12/24-hour setting. The English date includes the day, three-letter month and date, such as TUE SEP 15. The lower arc shows progress toward your daily step goal, regardless of which data fields you choose.
FREE FROM THE START
No payment, subscription, unlock code or external account is needed. No weather service or API key is required. This face has no weather, moon phase or sunrise/sunset fields.
DATA NOTES
Health and activity values depend on Garmin data availability. Missing readings show dashes. Notification counts above 99 show 99+; message content is not accessed. Very large counters use K/M only when needed to fit. Calories are Garmin's total daily calories.
During normal inactivity, the display clears to black. Supported firmware can show a dim, shifting clock and date when bedtime Sleep Mode is reported. This behavior depends on the watch firmware.
Compatible with select Garmin watches, including Venu, vívoactive, Forerunner, fēnix, epix, MARQ, Descent, D2, and Approach models. See the supported-device list for exact models.
