Uninstall a watch face with Garmin Connect Mobile

First you must change your watch face to a default Garmin watch face (or an another watch face)

If you don't make this first settings you can't uninstall it and you will have an error message.

This requires the watch to be paired with your mobile device and it is one of the steps in the initial set-up of a newly purchased watch. For detailed instructions please refer to your watch user manual.

Make sure that Bluetooth is turned on in your watch settings.

The pictures below were taken from Garmin Connect Express some time ago. The appearance of Garmin’s mobile app has evolved since then and some items have been renamed (e.g. ‘Connect IQ Apps’ to ‘Activities & App Management’), but the idea remains the same and the pictures should still be generally relevant.
