WRISTGRID GUIDE

Garmin Lock Screen widgets for iPhone, explained

The iPhone Lock Screen is the fastest place to check a metric. WristGrid lets you add circular Lock Screen widgets for your Garmin Body Battery, stress, and other metrics — something Garmin Connect doesn't offer.

WristGrid circular Lock Screen widgets for Garmin metrics on iPhone

Circular Lock Screen widgets for Body Battery, stress, and more.

Lock Screen vs Home Screen widgets

Lock Screen widgets are small, circular, and always visible before unlock; Home Screen widgets can be larger with more detail and progress bars. WristGrid supports both so you can keep a tiny Body Battery by the clock and a richer briefing on the Home Screen.

Which metrics fit the Lock Screen

Compact gauges like Body Battery and Stress are ideal for circular Lock Screen widgets. Steps progress and multi-metric layouts usually belong on the Home Screen where there is more space.

How to set it up

Pair your watch with WristGrid via GW Bridge, then customize your Lock Screen and add the WristGrid widget you want. If WristGrid does not appear, open the app once so iOS registers its extensions.
