HYROX Tracker: ROXZONE
A dedicated HYROX app: a true race simulation on your wrist with running legs, station paces and transition times split cleanly in one saved activity. Plan your race on your phone; one-time purchase, no subscription.
Walker
A free data field for walking activities: step count, distance, pace and calorie burn in a compact format made for casual walks rather than running.
komoot
The komoot app for Garmin: plan routes with community recommendations, then find and navigate your planned tours on your watch in a few taps, with accurate way, surface and elevation info.
Race Screen
A race data field that corrects the difference between GPS distance and the real course: press lap at a course marker to round the distance and adjust your pace. Predicts your finish time.
Parent Pace: Stroller GAP
A beta running data field that shows stroller-adjusted pace: your pace corrected for the slope like grade-adjusted pace and then for pushing a running stroller, so hard hills with a stroller show what the effort is really worth.
GRun
A highly configurable running data field with up to 10 fields that expand automatically when fewer are used. Open source with documentation.
Running Data Field
An all-in-one running data field with a clean, beautiful interface that shows everything you need at a glance, for training and races. Use it on a screen with a single field.
F3b Dozen Walk
A 12-value data field for walkers and hikers that shows both speed and pace and your total activity steps.
Flight Run
A full-screen running data field: heart-rate zone gauge with zone number, distance, time, large pace and a colour-coded cadence gauge on one dark screen. Units follow the watch; smaller layouts get a compact view.
Splitbank
A race data field that shows how much time you have in the bank against your goal, the pace you need for the rest and your predicted finish time, for any distance with even or negative splits.
AllTrails: Hike, Bike & Run
Brings your saved AllTrails trails and routes to the watch: browse nearby trails, favourites, lists and custom routes, download one and follow it with the watch's own course navigation. Needs an AllTrails Plus or Peak membership and a linked Garmin Connect account.
All In One
Combines several Garmin metrics and other data fields of the same developer in one single view with 7 metrics. Set the activity layout to one field to use it.
mapField
Shows your route as a map inside a data field, so it sits on any data page of the built-in Run, Bike or Hike activities, and on Edge devices even on the elevation or ClimbPro pages. Activation is free; premium features are paid.
Bonkline
Keeps a live estimate of your carbohydrate tank during endurance activities: it works out what you burn at your heart rate, adds what you have eaten and tells you how long until the tank runs low and when to eat next.
MapIT
A data field that draws the trail you have already travelled, with customisable and removable fields, so you do not get lost on runs, walks or rides in new areas. Press pause twice within 5 seconds to zoom.
