Garmin is giving military members, veterans, and their supporters a new way to show their pride with a collection of official U.S. Armed Forces watch faces for its compatible smartwatches. Announced on November 11, Veterans Day in the United States, the new designs feature the official logos of five military branches and are available to download through Garmin’s Connect IQ Store.
The collection covers the U.S. Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force, and Space Force, allowing Garmin smartwatch owners to personalize their devices with designs representing the branch they serve in or support.
According to Garmin, the new watch faces draw inspiration from the identity and traditions of the U.S. Armed Forces. The company says the collection recognizes the spirit of service, dedication, and sacrifice associated with military personnel.
Five military branches represented
The new collection includes official branding for all five branches of the U.S. Armed Forces:
- U.S. Army
- U.S. Marine Corps
- U.S. Navy
- U.S. Air Force
- U.S. Space Force
The designs are intended for military personnel, veterans, military families, and supporters who want to display their connection to the armed forces directly on their smartwatch.
Garmin says the watch faces are compatible with select models across several of its smartwatch families, including the fēnix, Instinct, tactix, and Forerunner series, among others. However, availability depends on the individual device, so users should check compatibility through the Connect IQ Store before downloading.
Part of the proceeds will support military programs
Beyond personalization, the launch also includes a charitable component. Garmin says a portion of the proceeds from the U.S. Armed Forces watch faces will support the Morale, Welfare and Recreation (MWR) fund.
The MWR network provides quality-of-life, fitness, and leisure programs for military service members, their families, and retirees. The contribution gives the collection a purpose beyond its visual appeal, helping support programs for the military community.
Garmin has a longstanding connection with people who work and train in demanding environments, particularly through its outdoor, fitness, and tactical-focused products. The company says the new collection reflects that relationship and recognizes those who rely on technology when performance matters.
How to download the new Garmin watch faces
The U.S. Armed Forces watch faces are available now through Garmin’s Connect IQ Store. Garmin customers can access the store through the Connect IQ app, available on the Google Play Store and Apple App Store, and download compatible content to their devices.
As with other Connect IQ downloads, users should verify that their particular Garmin smartwatch supports the selected watch face before installing it.
The launch arrives on Veterans Day, making the collection a timely addition for those looking to recognize military service through a small but visible personal touch on their everyday smartwatch.
