Keep your contacts with you even without a mobile phone. The contacts widget lets you configure up to 11 contacts with names and phone numbers for instant access. The contacts are stored on the watch/device, making them accessible regardless of your phone. Browse your contacts directly from the widget - no need to navigate to an app on the device. Switch quickly and easily between contacts using the start/stop button. On devices with touch functionality a simple tap on the display will show the next contact. Contacts can be stored via the widget settings. To do so, open the Garmin Connect IQ app, navigate to the widget and open the settings of the widget.

This widget was inspired by the CONTACTS app. I preferred a widget over an app, as widgets are more quickly accessible with fewer device interactions. Special thanks to developer AmuFac for providing inspiration and a foundation to build upon.
