Store and display up to 8 QR codes on your Garmin watch.

Instruction:

  1. Fill widget settings using Garmin Connect™ Mobile on your phone (to add new QR code)
    • Go to "Garmin Devices" > "[NAME OF YOUR WATCH]" > "Activities & App Management" > "Widgets" > "QR Code Viewer" > "SETTINGS"
    • Enable any value
    • Fill "Label" field with any text you want to display
    • Fill "Value" field with the value of your QR Code (you may eventually first decode an existing one with any QR code reader on your phone)
    • Click on "Done" button
  2. On your watch, go to the widget and press select button to choose a QR code
  3. Enjoy !

Note : To get value from an existing QR code (and copy it to settings), you can use a QR code reader on your phone (I personnaly use QRDroid on my android phone)

Offline mode

You can now configure the widget to be used offline (without your phone) in widget setting.

Only the first QR code will be accessible offline without a valid token. Please make a donation and send me an email to get a valid token and have fully functionnal offline mode.

Important : If you are not in "offline mode", your phone needs an available data connexion to generate QR code on your watch
