Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, download the Garmin Connect app on your smartphone to pair the watch and sync your data. Ensure the device is updated via the app for the latest performance patches. The watch uses a standard 20 mm interchangeable silicone band, allowing you to swap styles or replace a worn strap easily. To care for your device, rinse it with fresh water after swimming or heavy perspiration to prevent salt or sweat buildup on the sensors. Avoid using sharp objects on the touchscreen, and wipe it down with a soft, lint-free cloth periodically to maintain clarity.
