Garmin launches US Armed Forces watch faces with official military branch logos

Garmin has launched five US Armed Forces watch faces featuring the official logos of the US Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force, and Space Force. The company released the designs on November 11, Veterans Day in the US, through its Connect IQ Store.

Each watch face costs $4.99 in the Connect IQ Store, although pricing may vary by region. A portion of the proceeds goes to the Morale, Welfare, and Recreation (MWR) fund, which runs quality-of-life, fitness, and leisure programs for service members, their families, and retirees. Garmin has not said what share of each sale the fund receives.

The designs work on select Garmin smartwatches, including Fēnix, Instinct, Tactix, and Forerunner models. Garmin has published a separate supported-device list for each watch face so buyers can confirm compatibility before paying.

Garmin says the collection is aimed at veterans, active-duty service members, military families, and advocates. The company describes the faces as a way to carry “the spirit of service, dedication, and sacrifice” on the wrist. Customers buy and install the faces through the Connect IQ app, which is available on Google Play and the Apple App Store, and then sync them to a paired watch. The collection does not include a design for the US Coast Guard.

The Connect IQ Store carries apps, watch faces, and music streaming services for Garmin wearables. Garmin released free Pokémon Sleep watch faces through the same store in March to mark World Sleep Day.
