Flip watch face?

Former Member
Former Member
I'm allergic to the metal button. I want to try wearing the watch flipped around so that the button is nearest the top of my hand instead of toward my elbow, but I can't find a setting anywhere to do that.

Switching it from "right hand" orientation to "left hand" doesn't change a thing as far as the watch face orientation goes.

Am I going to have to download the SDK and Eclipse and learn how to make my own watch face so that I can flip it the other orientation? I'm so confused.

    If you wear it on the right wrist, the button will be on your elbow's side.

    Brittany.D Unfortunately there is not a way to flip the orientation on the device. Please call your local Product Support for this matter. Our contact information can be found at support.garmin.com. We want to work with you on a possible solution to the issue you are having.

    Hi Kara,

    I just took my watch off charge and now the face is upside down. Why did this happen?

    The only fix I can think of is to take the band off and put it back on in the opposite orientation.

    I had to go into my actual device (Where you sync it) to find orientation on my iPhone.

    I powered the watch off (hold button 3 sec, select power I/O)  then press button 3 sec to turn back on.  Worked for me

     Here are instructions for how to flip over the watch face. I had trouble following the instructions provided so far, so I thought a recording of how to get to them may be helpful. Recording attached, and here’s a recap: Connect smartphone app > device icon (top just to right of center) > tap device > device settings > Orientation > select the one you want.

    Reply to Garmin-Kara.  Yes there is a way to flip it: Settings/System and finally select Orientation and Button on Right, or Left as wanted
