Descent G1 - fonts

Unfortunately this is not possible. 

What you can do with Connect IQ is:

- Create your own CIQ watchface with custom fonts

- Create your own CIQ activity data field with custom fonts

- Create your own CIQ app¹ with custom fonts.

[1]: In this context, an "app" is like a standalone piece of software like an app on your phone or computer. It can optionally record an activity (like Run), but you have to do a lot of work to reinvent the wheel for common features that users expect from an activity. It can also implement a glance to display data from the app, similar to built-in glances.

None of those things are trivial to do though, and they don't really accomplish what you want. In all of these cases, there are things that built-in watchfaces, data fields and apps can do which can't be done with CIQ.

Dear Flowstate,

i thank you for your answer.
What tools/softwares do i need to create, at least , my own watchface with custom fonts, please?

is that tedious to accomplish?

Thank you in advance

I think if you have zero background/interest in programming, you will find creating a CIQ watchface tedious. Either way it is not a simple task.

If you want to go down that road:

- Start here: https://developer.garmin.com/connect-iq/sdk/ 

- Once you have VS Code and the Monkey C extension set up, open the command palette (CTRL-SHIFT-P / CMD-SHIFT-P), select "Monkey C: Samples Folder" and open the Analog sample in VS Code. This is a barebones sample of an analog watchface.

- You can also look at this github repo for the full source code of a very popular CIQ watchface (over 1 million downloads): https://github.com/warmsound/crystal-face 

Alternatively, you can use this site to create a CIQ watchface using a graphical builder which supports custom fonts: https://garmin.watchfacebuilder.com/ 

Awesome!

Many thanks for your time!

Kind regards

Maybe try Face It in the Connect IQ app

i can't download it...maybe it doesn't work for Descent G1
