Is there any way to back-up Connect IQ watch face settings?

In theory, you can backup corresponding SET file for particular app from Garmin/Apps/Settings folder. That's valid for CIQ settings.

However there is a big BUT ! That SET file will be valid only for the version you have currently installed. In case you will update the app, not only app name/code can change but developer may change also settings file structure. In that case if you will upload backup version back, your face will crash and you will need to start from the scratch anyway.

In addition, eg. in case of my watchface, due to the very bad way how Garmin handles settings i am moving them partially directly to the watch, in that case you need to backup also corresponding files from Garmin/Apps/data folder.

How would that work?

But, if I reset my watch, for whatever reason, don't I lose the settings on the IQ app, since it will appear as a new watch without any watch faces installed?

Usually if the settings are lost the watch-face/app its not uninstalled and the settings also gone in the app.

I don't understand your response.

How is the watch face not uninstalled when the watch is reset?  I understand that the watch face app remains in the IQ app on the phone, but it appears as Not Installed after a reset. So when you re-install it, you have to reconfigure the settings again. No?

No.  The previous settings persist on the phone until/unless you change them in the CIQ phone App.

Ok, great. ありがとうございました。

Sometimes when apps/watchfaces are updated settings get lost, in that case it would be great to backup and restore them...
