Downgrade an app/widget/watchface

How about the ability to downgrade to a specific version of an app / widget or watchface?

I received feedback from a user that he prefer the layout and design of an older version of my watchface.

Is there a possibility to downgrade to an earlier version once you decided that the new version is not for you?

There isn't a direct way to do this, no. Garmin Express/GCM don't have an option to downgrade the app version since the only version of an app available on the store is the latest one the developer has pushed up. If someone wanted an earlier version, you could either make it available as a separate app on the store, or maybe just build them a separate binary that you can send to them.

Hmmm, I don't think having duplicates of my many countdown watchfaces will appeal to everybody.

Still believe that Garmin should improve the categorization of the apps or better, introduce that user configurability feature so I can reduce the number of watchfaces and minimize maintenance too.

User config should be in 1.2.x of the SDK (late September)
