Forerunner 165 spotlight

Former Member 9 months ago

Hello everyone. I have one question. Why spotlight doesn't work on garmin 165?
There are many watchfaces with this option that don't work even though garmin 165 has CIQ 5.10

What exactly do you mean by "spotlight"? If you mean the flashlight, then FR165 does not have the hardware (the LED). If you mean the CIQ watchface "Spotlight", then you have to ask the author (use the link Contact Developer on the app page in the CIQ store)

Spotlight is a background effect on an amoled screen where the selected color changes slightly,
from the center to the ends or vice versa, etc. Only 165 doesnt support this. Go to watchfaces Teko, futura, Avak, Orbit...
They all have this option which the 165 does not support

What it is good for? If it is just a visual effect, search a matching watchface in the Connect IQ store, or request one on the IQ Developer forum.
