App settings allow you to configure the way a Connect IQ app behaves, which is especially useful for watch faces and data fields. If supported by an app, setting values can be adjusted in Garmin Express, Garmin Connect Mobile, or the Connect IQ Store app. Below is an explanation of how to make settings changes in each.
Adjusting Settings with Garmin Express
Connect your device to your computer and start Garmin Express. Once the device shows it is connected, push the Apps button:
Click the ellipsis icon next to the name of the app to open the settings. You can also right-click on the app and select Settings from there:
Available settings will be displayed in a separate window and can be changed to your liking. Once done, click the Save button:
You can confirm whether the settings have been properly saved to your device by reopening the settings window. When you do, it will always load the values from your device.
Adjusting Settings with Connect IQ Store App
(Note: These screenshots will be from Android, but iOS should be almost identical.)
Be sure your watch is connected to your phone and shows connected within the Connect IQ Store, then select My Device in the lower right of the screen. This will show you your device and an overview of the installed apps. Tap the category of app you'd like to manage (e.g. My Watch Faces), tap the app you want to adjust, then tap the Settings button:
