CORE strips the watch face back to what actually matters. Big, bold condensed digits with the minutes picked out in olive, the date spelled out above them, and a clean data grid below — nothing to decode, nothing to scroll. A thin olive ring frames it all with a quiet reminder: good things ahead.
Under the time, a compact grid shows the current weather with a proper icon, today's temperature and the high/low, and your live heart rate. The second row gives you steps, calories and floors climbed at a glance, and the bottom line keeps an eye on battery with the percentage and an estimate of the hours left.
Built for rugged, active days: high-contrast white on black, a small touch of olive and red where it counts, and an always-on mode that dims to just the time and date so your AMOLED screen stays easy on the battery. Everything is drawn with vector fonts, so it renders crisp on every supported size.
Out of the box it needs no setup, but everything on the grid is yours to change from the Connect IQ app: pick what the two large cells and the three small cells show (weather, sunrise and sunset, Body Battery, stress, a second time zone, notifications, active minutes, distance, floors and more), swap the olive accent for one of nine other colours, write your own words around the ring, and choose your time format, temperature unit and battery line. Put it on, train, explore, belong.
Free 7-day trial. After that a license key (USD 4.99) is required, available at allezfaces.lemonsqueezy.com.
