Improving GPS Satellite Reception

  • Frequently sync the watch to your Garmin account:
    • Connect your watch to a computer using the USB cable and the Garmin Express application.
    • Sync your watch to the Garmin Connect app using your Bluetooth enabled phone.

While connected to your Garmin account, the watch downloads several days of satellite data, allowing it to quickly locate satellite signals.

  • Take your watch outside to an open area away from tall buildings and trees.
  • Remain stationary for a few minutes.
