Installation problems

My experience is based on the android app but it may apply to the IOS app and/or windows program as well.

Problem

The garmin connect app does not install / delete / update watchfaces immediately. It’s not obvious when it does do what the user requests it to do.

Solution

Following seems to work quite reliable:

• go to the display designs view inside the garmin connect app
• execute the desired action (one of following)
  • click on an uninstalled watchface and install it
  • or click on an installed app and click update
  • or click on an installed app and click uninstall
• go back twice to the device view => on top of this view the reload icon starts to spin
• wait for it to finish
• go back to the display designs view and check if the desired action was executed successfully

Sadly, I can’t influence how this works, it’s part of the garmin app and can’t be influenced by me.
