Watch faces not showing up

I got my new Forerunner 235 yesterday and I'm trying to use some of the new watch faces you can download on to it. I've logged on to Garmin Connect and downloaded a few watch faces. They show up on the Connect software on my phone and on Garmin Express when I go to manage Connect IQ | Apps so it looks like they are on the device but I see no way to choose one to display. The online manual doesn't give any indication how you would select a different watch face. Any advice from others who have done this successfully?
  • Think you need to go into Settings/Clock and change from Digital to the IQ one there.

    Assuming you have synced the 235 with your phone, the IQ faces should be available.

    From the Watch Face screen, hold the UP button to get the options menu. Click DOWN to CLOCK OPTIONS then WATCH FACE which should give you the list of the standard face (DIGITAL) and any Connect IQ ones you may have loaded.

    Hope this helps!

    Thanks Malcolm - I don't know why I missed Clock. I hate that the way to change it is buried under four levels of menus but it works!
  • You could also just press&hold the Up button from the watch screen and scroll down one to Clock Options, then press Enter and you're at the Watch Face setting.
  • I have this same issue but pressing Digital doesnt change the downloaded faces/apps
