**Documentation:** https://developer.garmin.com/connect-iq/

Garmin Connect IQ Platform is one of 17 APIs that [Garmin](https://apis.io/providers/garmin/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network. Tagged areas include Wearables, Watch Faces, Application, Connect IQ, and Monkey C. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation.

Connect IQ is Garmin's open platform for building wearable apps that run on Garmin watches and cycling computers. Developers write apps in Monkey C — Garmin's purpose-built object-oriented language — and target five app categories (watch faces, data fields, widgets, device apps, audio content provider apps). The SDK ships with device simulators, a VS Code Monkey C extension, and companion mobile SDKs for Android (Maven Central) and iOS (GitHub) so phone apps can talk to Connect IQ apps over BLE. Apps are distributed through the Connect IQ Store at apps.garmin.com. Current SDK version 9.1.0 (May 2026).
