Today we are going to show you how to change the watch face on your
Garmin MARQ® Gen 2 Collection Modern Tool watch
In this video we will be using the Athlete edition of the watch
Since there are three different methods for customizing the watch face on the device,
we will break this video into three sections that you can access from the description or timeline
As mentioned in the Getting Started video for your specific MARQ® Gen 2 Series,
your watch has a specific watch face only available on that edition
However, in this video we will show you how to
modify the data it provides and how to select from other built-in options
From the watch face, press and hold the UP button to access the menu
Press the START/STOP button to select “Watch Face”
Then use the UP or DOWN buttons to scroll through the watch face options
Additionally, you can build you own watch face
from scratch by selecting “Add New” at the bottom of the list
In this video, we will select one of the pre-set watch faces
If the watch face is already set to your liking, you may go ahead and select apply to finish
You can also scroll down through this menu to
modify watch face settings like layout, data, color and more
We will just be showing you how to adjust the data but the steps are similar for the other options
To adjust the data fields, select “Data”
One of the data fields will be blinking and indicates the field that is being modified
To change it, press either the UP or DOWN buttons to scroll through the available data options
Once you find your preferred data, press the START/STOP button to select it
Then, the next data field will blink and allow you to change it
Keep repeating until each field is set how you want it
Once completed, you will see the menu screen again
Scroll up and select “Apply” to complete the new watch face
In this section we will cover installing watch faces from the Garmin Connect IQ™ store app
The Connect IQ™ app offers thousands of downloads to customize your watch
To get started, make sure your watch is paired
with the Garmin Connect™ app on your compatible smartphone
Then install our Garmin Connect IQ™ app to your compatible smartphone
To begin, open the Connect IQ™ store app
The main screen will show top downloads for watch apps,
data fields, music services, watch faces and widgets
In this video we will only be guiding you through installing a watch face
However, this process will be similar for these other Connect IQ™ downloads
Before we get started, if you have more than one device,
we need to choose the watch you want to modify
To select the right watch, select “My Device”
Then select the 3 dots on the top right
Now select “Select a Device” and then the watch you want to change
Then press “IQ Store” to go back to the main IQ store page
Select “Search”
Then select “Watch Faces” at the top
The list is sorted by the most popular, but you can also search by design or title at the top
In this example, we will select “Hexacurve” from the main list
On the info tab you can review information about the download including screenshots
To install the watch face, select “Install”
Confirm any license agreements to proceed
The installation will begin and once completed the watch face on
your MARQ® Gen 2 watch will change automatically to the installed one
To check on the status you can go back to the main Connect IQ™ screen and press on the my device icon
In addition, some Connect IQ™ downloads offer customization
To access the available settings, select the app type and then the title of the installed download
Select the settings icon and adjust the available options to fit your preferences
Once the changes are complete,
select “Save” and the changes will automatically sync over to your watch
In this section we will cover using Garmin Face It
This allows you to use your own photos as a watch face
To get started, make sure your watch is paired with the Garmin Connect™ app
Then install our Garmin Connect IQ™ app to your compatible smartphone
To begin open the Connect IQ™ store app
Select “Face it”
First, select a photo to use as the background
Select the plus icon
Select either “Camera” to take a new photo, or “Photos” to search your smartphone
After you add your photo, the default analog watch face will be shown
Now you can pinch to zoom the photo or press and hold to move it
Now, we can scroll through the available watch face designs to find the one you like best
Simply touch the desired watch face to select it
Data fields on a watch face can be moved by touching and dragging them where you want
Next, we can set the accent color by selecting the paint can icon
Then select a color
The last field allows you to adjust the style of watch face elements like watch hands or the font
Select the time icon and choose one of the styles
Once you are finished, select “Done” to name your watch face
If prompted, agree to the terms and conditions
Select “Install” to download it to your watch
Once the automatic sync is complete it will be displayed on the watch
And that’s it, thanks for watching!
