Hello! In front of me I have Garmin Instinct 2S and I'm gonna show you how to install applications on this watch
0:13
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
0:21
Once the devices are paired together, we can continue. And now we need to download and install the Connect IQ Store application on our phone
0:31
So make sure you have the Internet connection and Bluetooth enabled on your phone. Of course, on the phone that is paired with your watch
0:38
And once you do, open the App Store. I'm gonna use the Google Play Store, but you can use the App Store on the iPhone if you're using iPhone
0:46
Then tap on Search. Type in Connect IQ. Tap on Search. And you should see this application on the list, Connect IQ Store
1:01
Once you see it, you can select it, then tap on the Install button to download and install it
1:09
And after the application is done installing, you can tap on the Open button to open it
1:14
In the app, tap on the Welcome button. Here tap on Continue, or if you want to switch the accounts, you can tap on Switch Accounts. I'm gonna use the one I used to pair the watch with our phone
1:26
Tap on the checkmark and tap on Next. Allow the required permission
1:37
And after a couple of seconds, the IQ Store should load. And here we can scroll through the different categories of apps and watch faces and browse them if you want to
1:48
I'm just gonna tap on Search, and then select Apps category to narrow my search only to apps
1:54
And here I'm gonna scroll through the list of apps and find the one I want to install
1:59
So let's find the application. I don't know, maybe... Some random one
2:19
Pomodoro. Let's tap on it. Then, if you're not sure the app will work on your smartwatch, you can scroll down, tap on Compatible Devices
2:31
And here you can check if the watch is on the list
2:35
And we're looking for the Instinct 2S. So, Instinct. And we have the Instinct 2S on the list, which means that the app is compatible with this watch
2:46
So we can go back, tap on the Install button. And let's wait. As you can see, it says queued
2:52
Sometimes it takes quite a while for the queue to go through, because something is maybe updating before the installation of the app
3:01
If you're not sure, you can check the queue, and I'm gonna show you how to do it
3:07
But, as you can see, the app installed. And you have the Guided button, which, when you see this pop-up, it means that the app is done installing
3:14
And you can tap on Guided. And once you see an Install button, it also tells you that the app is installed
3:20
Okay, so the app is installed now. Now I'm gonna show you how to check the queue, because this is quite confusing sometimes
3:28
So you can tap on My Device in the IQ app to open the device page for your watch
3:34
And here we have the queue somewhere. I think it's... when something is in queue, it's gonna be right here listed
3:45
But, as you can see, now we're not downloading anything, so the queue is gone
3:50
But if you're downloading something and it's stuck in the queue, you can check the queue right here
3:55
It's gonna be listed right here what's installing and what's downloading. And sometimes it takes a couple minutes for stuff to install
4:02
Sometimes it takes more than a couple minutes. So I recommend to check it if something is not downloading and installing
4:08
Okay, and once you're done, you can close the app. And now we can check our app
4:13
So we installed the app on our watch. You can press the GPS button to open the Recent and Favorite Apps menu
4:20
Then scroll down through it. And at the bottom, you should see the app you installed
4:25
And you can press the GPS button to open it. And here we have it
4:30
I'm not sure how this app works, but it is opening. And if you want to exit it, press the Back button
4:37
Like that. And that's how you install applications on this watch. Thank you for watching
