Troubleshooting

Device won't turn on

Ensure the device is adequately charged. Connect it to the charger for at least 30 minutes and try again. If the issue persists, perform a hard reset by holding the 'Light' button for 15 seconds.

GPS signal is weak or inaccurate

Ensure you have a clear view of the sky. Update the device software and GPS satellite data via Wi-Fi. Try enabling 'Multi-band GNSS' in the settings for improved accuracy.

Bluetooth connection issues

Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on both your watch and smartphone. Try unpairing and re-pairing the device through the Garmin Connect app. Restart both devices.

Touchscreen is unresponsive

Clean the screen gently with a soft, dry cloth. Restart the watch. If the issue continues, check for software updates that may address performance.

Inaccurate heart rate readings

Ensure the watch is worn snugly on your wrist, about one finger's width above your wrist bone. Clean the sensor on the back of the watch. Avoid excessive movement during activities that can affect readings.
