Hello everyone, I have been trying to solve an issue which happens with third party watch faces. My latest attempt has included a master rest of the watch, removing Garmin Connect Mobile (GCM) from phone, deleting device from GCM, as well as from my Garmin connect account from Garmin connect.com. After a complete rest and wipe of all data I can access I then pair the watch to my phone and GCM. After having set up the watch I then install a third party watch face which I can name if you PM me. This watch face displays heart rate data in a graph as well as sunset/rise times. After installing the watch face I can edit the settings without any issues. The watch face will display a message asking for gps data in order to display the sunrise/set data. Without starting an activity the watch face was stable for 12 hours, all settings remained. After this 12 hour period I then selected the activity "Run" waited for a gps lock started the activity, waited 30 seconds, then ended and discarded the activity. After this, I then had to select a stock watch face then select the third party watch face in order to display the calculated sunrise/set data. After having done all of this the watch face will remain correct for approximately 1 hour. After this period of time the watch face resets to its default values. If i attempt to change the settings of the watch face from GCM the settings will display a successful saving of the settings from my phone but the watch face will not update at this point. If I select a stock Garmin watch face and then attempt to select the third party watch face I get the image of the connect IQ logo with an "!" next to it.
At this point I have to uninstall the watch face from Garmin express to remove it.

Any similar instances from other users would be helpful in determining the issue at hand.

Thank you for your time!
