Troubleshooting

Watch won't turn on

Ensure the watch is charged. Try a different charging cable and outlet. If it still doesn't turn on, contact Garmin support.

Poor GPS signal

Go to an open area with a clear view of the sky. GPS signals can be affected by buildings, trees, and other obstructions. Allow the watch to acquire the signal before starting an activity.

Notifications not appearing

Make sure notifications are enabled in the Garmin Connect app and that the watch is paired to your smartphone. Check your phone's notification settings to allow Garmin Connect to send notifications.

Heart rate readings inaccurate

Ensure the watch is worn snugly on your wrist. Clean the back of the watch and your wrist to ensure good skin contact. If problems persist, consider contacting Garmin support.

Battery draining quickly

Check the watch's settings and disable features you don't need, such as the always-on display or frequent GPS use. Reduce screen brightness.
