Start with the right listing
Browse the DVP Design collection and open the watch face you like. The View in Connect IQ button takes you to that exact product in Garmin’s store. This website is a catalogue and support point; it does not install software directly on your watch or take payment details.
Before going further, check the product name, the screenshots and the information in the official listing. Store information takes priority over a description on this website, especially for availability, payment, permissions and supported devices.
Install through Connect IQ
Garmin’s instructions describe pairing the device with your phone, opening the Connect IQ app, selecting the relevant device and choosing the feature you would like to add. Follow the instructions shown by the app for your watch and your account.
- Make sure your Garmin watch is paired with your phone using the instructions for that model.
- Open the Connect IQ app and select the watch you intend to use.
- Find the same DVP Design listing and review its compatibility and current requirements.
- Use the installation control in Connect IQ and follow its on-screen instructions.
After installation
Use your watch’s own manual for selecting an installed watch face. Buttons, touchscreen gestures and menu labels are not the same across every Garmin model. When a design offers settings, use the options documented in its current listing rather than assuming that another watch face’s controls apply.
Do not sideload a file from an unknown website or share your Garmin password with anyone offering installation help. DVP Design support does not need your password.
When something stalls
If Connect IQ does not offer installation for the selected device, first check the supported-device information rather than trying to bypass it. If an installation or synchronization is stuck, record the exact message and consult Garmin’s support for your model.
For an issue with a DVP Design face, send the face name, exact watch model, software version and a description of what happened to our support address. A screenshot can help, but remove private health information first.
