Aurum | A Frameless Gold Garmin Watch Face, Six Finishes
Stock gold watch faces often look flat. Aurum is a Garmin watch face built the way a fine watch dial is built — layered, lit, and finished by hand. It's frameless: no bezel is drawn on screen, so the dial runs all the way to the edge and your watch's display looks as big as it really is.
In short: four Grand Roman dials, a Chronometer and a Digital Luxe face — six finishes in one purchase, switchable any time from the watch face settings.
Aurum
A gold watch face built the way a fine watch dial is built. Frameless, so the dial reaches the very edge of the screen.
⌚ View on Garmin Connect IQWho is this for?
- Owners of a supported Garmin who find the stock watch faces a little underwhelming
- Anyone who felt a drawn bezel ring made their watch's screen look smaller
- People looking for a refined dial that works with a suit or formal wear
- Anyone who wants to switch between analog and digital to suit the day
The six finishes
| Finish | What it looks like |
|---|---|
| Onyx & Gold | Grand Roman numerals in polished gold, a railway minute track at the very edge, a date window at 3 and a power-reserve style battery gauge at 6 |
| Rose Gold | The same Grand Roman dial in pink gold |
| Champagne | The same Grand Roman dial in pale champagne gold |
| Gunmetal & Gold | Brushed steel with a single gold second hand |
| Chronometer | Minute numerals printed right to the edge, applied gold batons, four round gauges (steps, battery, calories, heart rate — or any fields you pick) and a date + digital time cartouche under dauphine hands |
| Digital Luxe | Huge polished-gold digits, a ring of 60 dots at the edge that light up with the seconds, and a 2 × 2 grid of the data you choose |
What goes into the finish?
- No bezel ring is drawn on screen — the dial itself goes edge to edge.
- Numerals and markers have a cast shadow, a bright bevelled edge and a darker facet, so they sit proud of the dial.
- A soleil sunburst ground with fine guilloche engraving and a soft vignette adds depth.
- The numerals are Marcellus serif, drawn as artwork rather than system text.

Everything is free to use for 24 hours after you install it. When the trial ends, a single one-time unlock (US$5.99, no subscription) keeps all features working.
Once the trial is over, the dial shows a 6-digit code and the URL www.kzl.io/code. Open that URL on your phone, enter the code and pay, and the watch face unlocks automatically within a few minutes. Payment is processed by KiezelPay, not by Garmin (credit card or PayPal). Once you have unlocked it, other supported watches on the same Garmin account do not need a second purchase.
