Common questions
FAQ.
Compatibility, data, AOD, purchases and support expectations.
Will a watch face work on my Garmin?
Use the compatible-device list on the current Connect IQ product page. Support differs because watches vary in screen, memory, sensors and Connect IQ API level.
Why does a metric show a dash?
The value may be unsupported, unavailable, not yet collected or dependent on a permission, sensor or Garmin service.
Do I need my phone for settings?
Many products expose settings both on the watch and in Connect IQ, but the exact options depend on the model.
Why does AOD look simpler?
Always-On Display is deliberately reduced for battery use and AMOLED burn-in protection.
Are purchases subscriptions?
The featured products are presented as one-time Connect IQ purchases. The current store listing is the source of truth.
Can I request device support?
Requests can help identify useful compatibility work, but support for every model cannot be promised in a part-time project.
