Vivoactive 3 Custom Watch Face

Posted on by

Explore and download apps to personalize your Garmin with Connect IQ, our open platform for third-party developer apps. Garmin's Vivoactive 3 is an extremely fitness-focused smartwatch, much more so than the Fitbit Ionic or Apple Watch Series 3. That makes this device perfect for extremely fitness-focused people. Seems like an issue with the latest software update. All of my Connect IQ downloaded watch faces show as 'IQ!' In the watch face selection menu and won't work. If I deinstall them, restart the watch and then reinstall, they will reappear and work for a few hours, but then they are disabled and the 'IQ!' Comes back without warning. We're sorry but Picwictoys doesn't work properly without JavaScript enabled. Please enable it to continue.

Garmin has a lesser-known app in the App Store and it often gets overlooked.

At the end of the season Garmin launched Face-It, a customizable watch face creation app for its range of Connect IQ compatible products. This will allow you to be different from everyone else standing at the start line and make you the envy of your running buddies. You'll even have them thinking your an amateur hacker.

How to install a Face-It watch face

1. Turn on your phone. Download the Face-It app from the App Store(iPhone) or Google Play(Android).

Mindless games. 2. Open the app.

3. Dnd hunters mark magic dmg. You'll be prompted to choose a picture from your phone's library. You can then choose whether you want the face to be analogue or digital.

4. Once you've chosen your design, hit 'Send to device'. Garmin Connect will automatically fire up and you need to sync the your device as normal. Note: You can also connect your device via USB to a PC and sync via Garmin Express.

5. Voila, you're customized.

We should let you know that Garmin universally opts for low resolution screens to help extend battery life when you're on your run. This means that you'll need to choose your image wisely, and have realistic expectations. Rather than choosing a portrait with a lot of depth and colors, choose a logo with a white background, such as a Chicago Cubs logo. Less is more in this scenario.
