Pairing Your Phone with Your Watch

To use the connected features of the Instinct watch, it must be paired directly through the Garmin Connect app, instead of from the Bluetooth settings on your phone.

1. From the app store on your phone, install and open the Garmin Connect app.
2. Bring your phone within 10 m (33 ft.) of your watch.
3. Select an option to enable pairing mode on your watch:
   • During the initial setup, select when you are prompted to pair with your smartphone.
   • If you previously skipped the pairing process, hold MENU, and select Pair Phone.
4. Select an option to add your watch to your account:
   • If this is the first time you are pairing a device with the Garmin Connect app, follow the on-screen instructions.
   • If you already paired another device with the Garmin Connect app, from the or menu, select Garmin Devices > Add Device, and follow the on-screen instructions.
