On some watch models it is not possible to uninstall a watch face while it is currently displayed on your watch. This is a Garmin problem that will affect any Connect IQ watch face that you try to uninstall. To get around this, please press a button on your watch to show something else (e.g. menu, widget or activity), and then try again to uninstall the watch face.

The free trial is 48 hours for each watch face. If you want to use it afterwards you can purchase it on the website via PayPal.
Please write an email to blueinnovationfox@gmail.com and inform me about the bug.
In general this is not possible. If you have ideas you can email them and I will try to implement them.
You can change this in your device settings. It can be done directly on the watch in the system/time menu, or in Garmin Connect Device Settings. It is advisable to synchronize your watch with your phone after you make the change, to make sure it is reflected everywhere.
FAQs Features
AOD stands for Always On Display.
Depending on your watch type this has different meanings.
The majority of the devices always show content on the display by default but when in sleep mode updates the display only once a minute. If you want an watch face to support updates once a second e.g. with a digital second display or a second hand you need to implement a special partial update of the display which needs to be very soft on the CPU.
If you turn off AOD the second hand is only shown for some time when waking up the device by turning the wrist.
With AOD off you can save battery.
Garmin Venu devices as an example have a AMOLED display like e.g. some smartphones have. Those devices only update the display once a minute in the sleep mode in any case. Usually the display turns completely off unless the watch face follows the following rules.
Use only a maximum of 10% of the available pixels on the screen
Turn on any particular pixel on the screen on no longer than 3 consecutive minutes
My watch faces support both AOD categories.
The Power Saver Mode has different options and allows to preserve battery by
Turning off the AOD (permanent second hand)
or Turning off the AOD + Not drawing the minute lines
or Turning off the AOD + Not drawing the minute lines + Pure Mode (e.g. not drawing the rings or date)
The Power Saver mode is activated during the users sleeping interval that can be set on the phone with the Connect App.
Note
When you have set your Venu device to deactivate the screen during the sleeping interval you will not see the Power Saver Mode in action.
