Ok guys, I am struggling this past week after the vacation. Went there in my perfect shape, returned +5 kilos. Am a little bit ashamed to admit, but I have weak discipline ever since… A screenshot is from my third attempt to get back into it. Two previous failed.
Any bulletproof tips on how to get back into the fasting routine?
Really enjoy how good Modello GMT looks on MIP even after the sunset 🤠 Version 6 is out, update yours if you haven’t yet 👌🏼
I know it’s nothing special, but it was hard for me to do after all the vacation food… Just wanted to check-in with my +5kg 🥲
Two months in the works, and it's out. The big one is performance: full optimisation pass on render speed and battery, and it now feels like a stock Garmin face. That was the whole goal since the beginning. Please allow a little bit of tome for the watch face to settle after the update though.
Also in there: native on-device editor, better data accuracy, new MIP hand outline colours, configurable bezel marker colour, and a new Data Value Colour setting.
Free for everyone who owns it: just update through Connect IQ. Haven't tried it yet? There's a free 7-day trial on Connect IQ, so you can see it on your own wrist before buying. Modello GMT watch face is paid.
Portal Hybrid and Helix Heritage are next in line for the same performance treatment. Coming soon.
I'm the developer, so ask me anything (:
If you appreciate the update, a review on Connect IQ helps a lot. And we post everything we're working on to Instagram first: @stashdigitale
Source: an insider. I have nothing more, but if you're considering getting the 8 or waiting for the 9, it's coming shortly.
Found this gem few days ago and finally it was delivered! With original titanium band! Heavy and brutal. I like it. Always want to try this thing and finally! In almost new condition.
PS: Portal Hybrid face looks amazing with this set.
Garmin Connect serves as the central platform for aggregating data from Garmin devices and acts as the official companion app, which has now reached version 5.27. Analyzing the source code of such application packages (APK analysis) routinely reveals details about features and products that are not yet intended for public release. A recent teardown of Garmin Connect 5.27 by Gadgets & Wearables uncovered several new entries, including a product codenamed "GOBI" with the internal model number 5179. It is already widely expected that this smartwatch is the upcoming Enduro 4.

Hey everyone. This is the home for Garmin’s next generation of flagship wearables: the Gen 9 wave. Fenix 9, Tactix 9, Quatix 9, 9 Pros, and everything that lands alongside them over the next couple of years.
If you’re here early, you’re here for the right reasons. This is the place to track the leaks, compare the specs, argue about which model is actually worth upgrading to, and figure out what these watches can really do once they’re on the wrist.
What to post
Leaks and rumours. First impressions. Setup questions. Battery numbers. Band recommendations. “Should I upgrade from my 8?” threads. Screenshots of your watch in the wild. Anything a Gen 9 owner: or soon-to-be owner would want to see.
The vibe
Practical, honest, no fanboy nonsense. We call out the good and the disappointing equally. Garmin makes brilliant hardware and occasionally baffling decisions, both are fair game here.
Getting started
Drop a comment below with which Gen 9 watch you’re eyeing. Post something today, even a question: early communities live or die on the first few threads. And if you know someone deep in the Garmin rabbit hole, send them over.
More to come as the launch gets closer…
A big performance and efficiency update is on the way for both faces: landing in the next couple of weeks. It's been an incredible run watching these two spread across wrists in over 100 countries. Genuinely grateful to everyone who's supported the studio!
As a thank you, both are at their lowest price ever right now. If you've been on the fence: this is the moment.
Grab them at today's price and the update lands free, automatically, when it drops. Exclusively on Garmin Connect IQ.
More soon…

Modello GMT’s latest update allows to configure hands from Portal Hybrid or Helix Heritage. This was a widely requested feature, so we have refactored the code base to make this possible. Update yours now!
I am the developer: AMA. Watch face is paid. Available exclusively on Connect IQ. Free trial version is available.
…just so much more readable and beautiful IMO.
watch: Fenix 8 Solar 47mm with Portal Hybrid watch face.
Modello GMT latest update allows to go wild with colour and hands combinations… 👌🏼
This one's been a long time coming, and most of what's in it came directly from your suggestions and feature requests. I've attached a few shots of how it now looks on both MIP and AMOLED devices.
5.0 Highlights:
• Two new hand styles (Portal Hybrid and Helix Heritage)
• A new data colour selector: complications can now have their own colour, independent of your accent colour
• Minimal AOD Mode for AMOLED: strips everything back to just the date
• Week number support, smarter moon phase and tides calculations, new complications (Wheelchair Pushes, Sleep Score), and a long list of MIP/Solar refinements
Full change-log:
• hands mechanism refactored to support two new hand styles: Portal Hybrid and Helix Heritage
• fixed skeleton hands colour on Instinct 3 + transparency option has been removed on this platform only, as it isn't supported
• new: Minimal AOD Mode toggle: hides every inner metric except the date in AOD mode: AMOLED exclusive feature, ideal for those who value maximum efficiency
• new: data colour selector: configure complication colours independently from your accent colour, available both in the native on-device UI on newer watches and in the Customise menu across all other devices
• added "Wheelchair Pushes" complication (supported devices only)
• added "Sleep Score" complication (supported devices only)
• week number added as an option for the date complication, displayed alongside the date
• fix for rare cases where the week number would display incorrectly
• improved moon phase calculation accuracy
• improved tides calculation accuracy
• more options for 12/6 o'clock hour mark visualisation choose what progress matters most to you
• long-tap the bottom or top hour mark to open its respective data field directly
• customize menu performance and copy improvements
• fixed a rare out-of-memory error in the Customise menu
• further MIP visualisation improvements: the watch face should now feel right at home on MIP/Solar devices
If you already own this watch gace, update yours now for free: grab it from Connect IQ. Modello GMT is paid and actively maintained. A free trial is available. I am a developer of this watch face – AMA.
This has genuinely been a labour of love, and updates like this is why we keep going.
Thanks for being part of it!!!
My car said 44.5°C today. My Fenix 8 Solar is currently cooling off on ice. We’re both not okay 🥲
Good thing these things are so rugged you don’t even have to worry. Back when I had an Apple Watch, it would lose battery twice as fast and overheat on a normal day, let alone in this.
Experimenting with my Modello GMT’s colour combo this weekend. Wanted to share with you. We have an update coming up later this month, it will allow even more colour combo flexibility, so stay tuned (:
Modello GMT has a free trial available on Connect IQ for your evaluation. I am the developer: AMA. Full version is paid: buy once, own forever.
Almost did 21 hrs, but this felt better then any desert I can imagine… Thanks everyone for your support yesterday!
