Customizing the Watch Face on a fēnix E Watch
fēnix® E watches offer the ability to customize what data is displayed on the watch face. The selected watch face may change what can be customized, what options are available, or how the data appears. The instructions below are for customizing the pre-loaded watch faces. For instructions on customizing watch faces that have been downloaded from the Connect IQ™ Store, see - How to Customize a Watch Face Through Connect IQ Store. The video below will walk you through the steps to customize your watch face.
Customizing the Watch Face
The fēnix E watch allows you to save your customizations to different watch faces. You can have up to ten saved watch faces, and you can use the same template to create multiple versions of the same watch face.
From the watch face, hold UP/MENU (middle left) button.
Select Watch Face.
Press UP/MENU (middle left) button or DOWN (lower left) button to scroll through your saved watch faces.
Scroll to a saved watch face or select Add New to add a new saved watch face.
Press START (upper right) button on the face you want to customize, then select an option.
NOTE: Not all watch faces will have all of the following options.
Select Styles to change the style of the background which may include shading, color, or in some cases whether the face is digital or analog.

The field that is being customized will pulse and what is currently shown there will be listed at the bottom of the screen.
Press START (upper right) button to customize the pulsing field or scroll to a different field.

If you are uncertain what a symbol on your watch face means, you can touch and hold on the field to be taken to the associated widget glance, or you can follow the steps above to customize the data on the watch face.

Select Watch Face.
Press UP/MENU (middle left) button or DOWN (lower left) button to scroll through your saved watch faces.
Press START (upper right) to select the face that you want to delete.
