Wireless Sensors

Your watch can be paired and used with wireless sensors using ANT‍+® or Bluetooth® technology (Pairing Your Wireless Sensors). After the devices are paired, you can customize the optional data fields (Customizing the Data Screens). If your watch was packaged with a sensor, they are already paired.

For information about specific Garmin® sensor compatibility, purchasing, or to view the owner's manual, go to buy.garmin.com for that sensor.
