November Analog - GB - Manual

All settings are on the watch. There are no settings for this watchface in the Connect IQ app on your phone.

On your watch, go to Menu → Watch Face → November Analog and choose Customize, edit, configure or the edit icon. The exact path and wording are slightly different on every model.

Your settings are stored on the watch. They usually stay when you reinstall the watchface, but this isn't guaranteed.

1. Open Data.
2. Choose Pick on screen and select a field on the watchface, or choose a field from the list.
3. Choose the Data row, then a category, then the field you want.
4. Use Data Options for its format, units and refresh time.

The fields on this watchface

Pick on screen only has the top, circle and date fields. Find the gauges, the ring and the AOD field in the list, or in the menus below.

You can also go to the same fields through Advanced options: Top Fields, Circles, Date and Ring & Dial. The Circles menu also has the colors of the plate, the rim and the gauges.

The rays are the 60 fine lines from the center of the dial to the edge. Find them in Advanced options → Ring & Dial → Background Rays. Turn them on or off, and choose their Ray Color. Each theme sets its own rays, and on some they are off.

• Keep the color subtle. The rays are meant to stay in the background, so a dark color works best. On a black MIP screen, try 000055, 005500 or 550000.
• On AMOLED, the rays count for the always-on display. The Full mode shows them, and bright rays can take you over the Garmin limit, which turns the screen off. The other modes don't show them.

These are in Advanced options → Ring & Dial. Some rows only appear when the option they belong to is on.

• Ring Progress: the field the ring shows. It's set to Nothing by default, which hides the ring and its other options.
• Progress Style: Gradient, Color merge, Single color or Single color filled, with Progress 1, 2 and 3 as its colors.
• Progress Width: how thick the ring is.
• Quarter, Hour and Minute Markers: a color for each type of marker.

To change the gauge in a circle, go to Advanced options → Circles and choose its progress field. See Goals & Progress Bars to set your own goal.

AMOLED and MIP watches each have their own themes, as they show colors very differently. MIP also has reversed themes, with a light background. See all of them on the themes page.

A theme sets the colors, the hand style and the rays. Your data fields stay as they are. Can't decide? The last option in the theme picker, AI Gen, makes a new set of colors every time.

A MIP screen is always on. When you lower your wrist, the watch goes into low power mode, and Garmin only gives a watchface a very short moment to draw something new every second. That's enough for the second hand or for a data field, but not always both. So you choose what keeps moving, with Always On at the bottom of the Hands menu.

Good to know

• Your fields need the right refresh time: set it to Always on in the Data Options of a field. This works for the circles and the date fields. The top fields update on the next minute.
• In low power mode, the second hand is a thin line in your Second color, whichever hand style you use. There isn't enough time to draw the full hand.
• With Second Hand or Show Hands off, Second hand and Taking turns leave only the fields to update.
• When you raise your wrist, everything updates as usual.

The Instinct Crossover has real, physical hands, so there is no Hands menu. The watchface can draw a highlight on those hands instead. Find it in Advanced options → Hand Highlights.

• Hand Style: the shape of the highlight, or No Highlight.
• Second Hand: No Second Hand, Fade-in or Solid.
• AOD Style: the highlight on the always-on display.
• Minute, Hour and Second Hand Color: these follow the hand colors of your theme, so a new theme also changes your highlights.

On a watch with a touch screen, every field can open a shortcut. This watchface also has 5 touch areas of its own: 12 o'clock, 3 o'clock, 6 o'clock, 9 o'clock and the Center. See Touch & Shortcuts for how to set them up.

The PRO version from the Connect IQ store is fully unlocked. In the Free version, these need PRO:

• Data fields marked [PRO]. You can try one for an hour, then it shows PRO instead of its value.
• Touch shortcuts. You can try them for an hour, starting with the first shortcut you use.
• More than 2 profiles

To activate the Free version, open Pro Status → Activate and enter your code. Your phone needs to be connected. See Free vs PRO & Activation, which also explains which version to choose.
