Pairing Your Smartphone with Your Watch

To use the connected features on your watch, you must pair it directly through the Garmin Connect app, instead of from the Bluetooth® settings on your smartphone.

  1. From the app store on your smartphone, install and open the Garmin Connect app.
  2. Bring your smartphone within 10 m (33 ft.) of your watch.
  3. Press LIGHT to turn on the watch.

    The first time you turn on the watch, it is in pairing mode.

    TIP: You can hold LIGHT, and select to manually enter pairing mode.

  4. Select an option to add your watch to your Garmin Connect 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.
