  Is this in the google app store? I can’t find it.

      I saw that but I don’t know what that is.

        It’s an alternative “app store” but for only free and open source software, highly recommend checking it out!

  Any advice for getting it to actually work with a Garmin watch? I just tried it with my Fenix 6 (solar) and it doesn’t detect the watch at all. In fact, even selecting “show unsupported devices” reveals that my watch’s bluetooth MAC address isn’t even seen by my phone. (Yes, I unpaired it and removed Connect from my phone. I also resorted to factory resetting my watch. No dice.)

  At the moment I’m using it unconnected because it still shows the time and so forth with the watch face I want. But without any kind of connectivity there’s really no point to not just putting this thing back in its box for good and grabbing one of my numerous dumb watches.

    Did you put your watch into pairing mode? On my Forerunner, I have to go Settings/Connectivity/Phone/Pair Phone on my watch.

      Yes indeed, I absolutely did. Still no joy, alas.
