- This is not a drill – 49 different Pokémon watch faces just dropped on Garmin Connect
- The Pokémon Sleep watch faces include one with Snorlax and friends, and another featuring your choice of one of 48 different Pokémon
- The Pokémon look tired when your Body Battery score gets low
Pokémon Sleep watch faces just dropped for the best Garmin watches, and I am very excited. To celebrate Pokémon's 30th anniversary, Garmin has released two different watch faces on its Garmin Connect IQ store, both of which are now available to download for free.
The best part, aside from the watch faces being free downloads? According to Garmin, 'the poses on both watch faces will change throughout the day — from happy and smiling to tired and sleepy — based on the user’s Body Battery energy levels'.
Article continues belowI've just downloaded Bulbasaur (I've always had a soft spot for the grass-type starter, as it was my go-to back on the original Game Boy) and I'm looking forward to seeing it snooze on my wrist.
Garmin says the watch faces are for 'select watches' including Venu, Forerunner, Fenix and Vivoactive, but I also spotted Garmin's Marq, Epix, Quatix, Descent and Instinct 3 (AMOLED) watches available on the list of compatible devices. Most modern AMOLED screen Garmins should be able to run them without issue.

- Download the Garmin Connect IQ store
- From the IQ Home, tap the Search tab
- Search 'Pokémon Sleep'
- Download the watch faces onto a compatible Garmin watch
