Garmin · Connect IQ 1.6.0

Garmin 1.6.0 submission package, model by exact model.

The unified Connect IQ 1.6.0 package is prepared for controlled acceptance on the 42 exact candidate targets below. The existing 41 targets retain the full Zenith feature graph; Forerunner® 55 uses a deliberately compact 208×208 MIP profile. Garmin Store submission and public availability are pending, so it cannot be installed yet. It is also not hardware-verified; similar model names do not establish compatibility.

What will be required after release

  • An iPhone running iOS 17 or later
  • Zenith 1.3.3, signed in to your Zenith account
  • Garmin Connect for iPhone
  • Zenith Performance 1.6.0 after Garmin confirms public Connect IQ availability
  • One exact controlled-acceptance target listed below

Consent and link

After verified Store publication, open Garmin setup in Zenith on iPhone, review the current versioned notice, grant consent, and complete the account-to-watch link. Consent belongs to the signed-in Zenith account; another account must review and grant separately.

Honest phone boundary

The watch can show daily status, water, activities, workouts, and eligible planned-meal confirmation. Food search, barcode lookup, serving changes, and full meal editing stay on iPhone.

The prepared Garmin companion is iPhone-only and is not public or installable from Connect IQ yet. Android Garmin connection is not supported. After release, installing Garmin Connect or the watch app by itself will not link a Zenith account.

Exact controlled-beta targets

This list mirrors all 42 product IDs in the Connect IQ 1.6.0 manifest. Each is an explicit submission candidate, not a current install claim or proof of physical-watch behavior. Garmin may group several retail names under one SDK product target, so both the displayed model name and product ID are shown.

What the Garmin notice covers

  • Account-to-watch linking and device/app identifiers
  • Workout and activity summaries
  • Fitness metrics when the exact watch makes them available
  • Hydration summaries and goals
  • Permitted planned-meal summaries
  • Water and meal actions you request on the watch
  • Route location only for an outdoor route activity you start

Zenith uses this information only for secure pairing, workout and activity sync you request, fitness progress and coaching, phone handoffs you request, and hydration or meal sync you request.

Revoke, unlink, and delete

Revoke or Unlink withdraws Garmin consent for the signed-in owner, stops new Garmin collection, invalidates every Garmin watch link for that account, and deletes Garmin-sourced activity and route data, hydration and permitted planned-meal projections, watch-action provenance, links, receipts, and local integration data. Independently entered Zenith records remain.

Delete Account also removes account-scoped Garmin integration data. Deleting only the iPhone or watch app does not delete signed-in cloud data.

Store-first physical evidence

The 42-product list is the exact unified manifest scope prepared for Connect IQ submission. The 41 full-parity targets keep the complete launcher and feature graph. The Forerunner 55 compact profile includes Food and Today context/handoffs, quick and custom Water with explicit units, and native FIT recording for Outdoor Run, Treadmill, Walk, and Strength. Its 128 KiB limit intentionally omits the complete 82-plan launcher, route chunks, advanced live metrics, strength undo, and phone commands. A submission, compiler result, or simulator result does not prove public availability, BLE delivery, sensors, Garmin FIT save, iPhone background behavior, battery use, buttons, touch, or layout on every physical watch. After Garmin makes version 1.6.0 publicly installable, Zenith will use ordinary Connect IQ Store installation for real-device acceptance. Until a button-first MIP watch, a touch AMOLED watch, and a physical Forerunner 55 pass their applicable acceptance checklists, this remains a controlled acceptance package and is not hardware-verified. If physical evidence identifies a model-specific problem, Zenith will update this page and the supported set.
