Installing a new watch face on a Garmin smartwatch only takes a minute. Here is the simplest way.
What you need
- A Garmin watch that supports Connect IQ watch faces.
- The free Garmin Connect IQ app (or the Garmin Connect app) on your phone, with your watch paired.
Step by step
- Open the watch face page in the Connect IQ Store, using the Get it button on any design here.
- Tap Download (or Unlock for premium designs) and choose your watch if asked.
- Follow the on-screen steps. For paid watch faces, a short code is shown on your watch to complete the unlock.
- Sync your watch with the phone app and wait until the installation finishes.
- On the watch, press and hold the watch face, scroll to the new design and tap it to apply.
Troubleshooting
- Make sure the watch is connected by Bluetooth and synced.
- Restart the Connect IQ app and sync again.
- Check on the store page that your watch model is listed as compatible.
