Free Garmin Watch Faces with Connect IQ: Getting Started
Garmin's Connect IQ store has thousands of free faces. Here's how it works and how to find ones that fit your watch.
Garmin is a bit different from Wear OS: instead of Google Play, faces come from the Connect IQ store, which lives inside the Garmin Connect app. It's mature, official, and full of free options.
How installing works
You tap install on a face, it downloads through Connect IQ, and syncs to your watch the next time it connects over Bluetooth. Then you select it on the device. The Garmin install guide has the details.
Picking the right face
Garmin watches are training tools, so fitness and sports faces with heart rate, steps and training data are the natural fit. If you have an AMOLED Garmin (like a Venu or newer Fenix), AMOLED faces look excellent and help battery.
