Welcome. In front of me I have Garmin Venue SQ2 and I'm going to show you how to install applications on this watch
Before we start, if you want to install applications on this watch, your watch needs to be paired with a phone via the Garmin Connect application
Once the devices are paired together, we can continue. And now we need to download and install the Connect IQ application on the phone that is paired with
our watch. So make sure you have internet connection and the Bluetooth enabled on your watch
or rather not watch on your phone, and then open the App Store on your phone. As you can see
I'm using the Android phone, so I'm going to open the Google Play Store, but if you're using
the iPhone, you can open the App Store. So open the App Store, in the App Store, tap on search
and then type in Connect, IQ. store and tap on search you should see this application connect iq store by Garmin with this icon
now download and install the application by tapping on the install button okay once the
application is done installing you can tap on the open button to open it in the connect iq store tap on welcome then tap on continue to continue with the account that you use to pert the devices together
But if you want to, you can also tap on switch accounts to use a different account
Then tap right here, tap next. And after a couple of seconds, the IQ store should load
you have different categories of apps and watch faces right here. You can browse this page to look for the desired application
I'm just going to tap on search right here and select apps to narrow my search
And here we have the list of applications. Find the application you want to install and tap on it
I don't know, for example, maybe hike 2. Plus. Right here we have the info page for the application, the screenshot, a screen shot
a screenshot rather description what changed in the version or new version or update
when it was updated, version and the size. You can also tap on compatible devices
to check the list of the watches that are compatible with this app
And you can scroll through the list. Let's scroll down and check if the venue
SQ2 is on the list. It is. So we can install the application
on this watch. Now to install the application simply tap on this big old install button tap on allow and wait Here it going to say queued and installing This means that the application is installing
Sometimes it's going to stay in the queue for the longer periods of times, or time, rather
It could be because something is queued before the application and it's being installed and you need to wait
Or sometimes it basically freezes and you will need to try to do something about it
and what you can do is basically disconnect the watch from the phone and reconnect it
And hopefully that will save or fix your problem. As you can see, for some reason, the application didn't install
We have the install button right here. Let me check the device page in the IQ store
So basically go back to the main page, tap on my device
and here we should see the list of applications queued in the installation
install queue. As you can see, we have none. So for some reason the app didn't want to install
I don't know why. Let's try again. Tap on install, tap on allow
Okay, this time it worked. I don't know why it didn't work for the first time, but now you got the part tap up that installing is complete you can tap on GadD and once the application installs you should see the uninstalled button right here on this page You can also go back to the My Device page
And here you can tap on My Device apps and check on the list of installed apps
and you should see your application. Now, we can go to the watch
press the upper button to wake up the screen and then press it again to open the list of favorites
And then you can swipe up to open the list of applications and here you should see your application that you installed
And you can tap on it to open it. Okay. So that's how you install applications
Like I said before sometimes the installation doesn't work. For some reason you can try repeating installing the application or you can try to
open the controls menu on your watch by pressing and holding the lower or other upper
button and then tapping this icon right here to disconnect the watch from the phone
and tapping on it again to connect it again. And sometimes when you reconnect the watch to the phone, it fixes the problem
Basically. Okay. And that's how you install applications on this watch. Thank you for watching
