Connect IQ watch face settings can be adjusted in two ways:

1. Directly on the watch, if the watch and the app allows it

To do this, first you need to get to the watch face selection menu on your watch. When you are there and your face of choice is being shown, you will always be presented with the “Apply” option. If the settings on the watch are supported, you will also see another choice “Customize”.

2. Through a Garmin app

To customize Connect IQ watch faces settings, you will need to use one of the available Garmin tools:

Garmin Vivoactive Watch Faces

Watch
  • Garmin Express for PC or Mac (http://software.garmin.com/en-US/express.html)
  • Garmin Connect (iOS or Android)
  • Garmin Connect IQ (iOS or Android)

Each of these tools has its pros and cons:

Garmin Express

+ You can uninstall the watch face currently active on your watch.

You won’t see the results of your changes until you disconnect the watch from the computer, so if you want to try different settings to decide which you like most, this will be somewhat tedious.

Download garageband for mac old version. +You can see the setting changes effect immediately after you press ‘DONE’ button, which generally makes the adjustments easier and faster. This is much more convenient than with Garmin Express and enough to definitely recommend Garmin Connect Mobile as the preferred option to change the settings.

You can’t uninstall the currently active watch face, which means you need to switch to another screen on your watch first. This is just the way Garmin has done it and it seems to be one of the most common reasons for users’ frustration judging from the comments they leave on the review pages.

Please note that changing the settings with Garmin apps requires an active internet connection.
