- Bring your device within 10 m (30 ft.) of your phone.
Your device automatically syncs your data with the Garmin Connect app and your Garmin Connect account.
Updating the Software Using the Garmin Connect App
Before you can update your device software using the Garmin Connect app, you must have a Garmin Connect account, and you must pair the device with a compatible phone (Pairing Your Device with the Garmin Connect App).
Sync your device with the Garmin Connect app (Manually Syncing Data with the Garmin Connect App).
When you use more than one Garmin device with your Garmin Connect account, you can choose which device is the primary data source for everyday use and for training purposes.
From the Garmin Connect app, select
> Settings.
Primary Training Device: Sets the priority data source for training metrics like your training status and load focus.
Primary Wearable: Sets the priority data source for daily health metrics like steps and sleep. This should be the wearable you use most often.
