Developing an app for forerunner 45

Hi, I just would like to know if there is any chance I could transfer data from a forerunner 45 via REST to an android App I am creating.

Moreover I would like to ask if there is any way to install an app in the garmin 45 without using ConnectIQ as I have seen it only allows to donwload watchfaces for the forerunner 45.

Thank you very much.

The fr45 only supports watch face type CIQ apps, and since it's CIQ1, it doesn't support background services where you can do makeWebRequests on other devices.

Thank you very much for the reply. I understand the background services thing because of the API. Taking into account that fr45 is API 1.4.0 and this API allows things like bellow, I just need no understand if although making nonsense creating such an app if next code could be intalled in the fr45. As I'm confused if to install the code the only way is by using ConnectIQ.

Thank you.

using Toybox.Position;
using Toybox.System;
var locString = "38.856147, -94.800953";
var myLocation = Position.parse(locString, Position.GEO_DEG);
System.println(myLocation.toRadians()); // [0.678168, -1.654589]

You should be able to do that in a watch face. You will probably need the positioning permission.
