The more you move, the farther they stay.
Colonial Watch is a motion tracker watch face for Garmin. It is issued to the security officer of a mining colony on HX-217. Stress brings the contacts in, walking keeps them back, and each shift you hold opens another log from the colony.
For Garmin AMOLED watches, from the Epix and fēnix to the Forerunner and Venu. Coming soon to the Connect IQ Store.

CRG MEMOTo: Security Officer, HX-217From: Colony AdministrationRe: Your first shift
Officer, welcome to HX-217. Morale is mandatory.
You have been issued a Colonial Watch motion tracker. It is company property. Do not lose it, drop it in a duct, or let anything take it from you.
The tracker reads its wearer as well as the perimeter. A calm, active officer means a calm, active colony. Please be both.
Questions about missing staff should be directed to the headcount office, which is currently closed.
Have a productive shift.
Colony Administration, Corvane Resource Group

Company memos and shift reports sometimes disagree. In such cases, the memo is correct.
The tracker shows the time first. Below it, a fan-shaped sensor field shows contacts and the range to the nearest one in metres. The pulse comes faster as they get closer. Under 10 m, the reading turns amber.
CONTACT NEUTRALIZED. In higher heart rate zones your steps count up to three times. An intensity minute counts as 30 steps.PERIMETER CLEAR.BREACH. Nothing else happens. Rest and illness never count against you.Always-On shows the time and the range only. Hold a tab name to switch views.
Sixty metres is closer than it sounds.
| ON DUTY | An office day, 08–16 Monday to Friday by default. Pick your start time and days in the settings. New contacts arrive only on duty. |
|---|---|
| OFF DUTY | No new contacts, but your patrol still counts. An evening walk is never wasted. |
| Threat level | LOW, NORMAL or HIGH, set each day. It changes how often contacts arrive. |
| Day change | Four hours before your shift starts. Your day is filed as a security report. |
Your report is written from your own numbers. Head office replies.

Hold your shift. Read the logs.
Colony systems keep talking: company memos, operations, maintenance, the medical bay and radio. Every shift you hold recovers another story on your tracker. 60 are on file. The first three are unrestricted. The rest need the clearance code your tracker shows above each story. Clearances stay in this browser, and a transfer link carries them to another one. No account needed.
Officer, welcome to HX-217. Morale is mandatory.
